Fred VanVleet Ready To Roll Against Mavericks
5 months agoHouston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (thumb) is available for Tuesday's In-Season Tournament game versus the Dallas Mavericks. VanVleet's left thumb sprain initially gave him a probable tag for Tuesday's action, as was the original designation for teammates Dillon Brooks (groin), Tari Eason (leg), and Jae'Sean Tate (knee), who are all also good to go against the Mavericks. VanVleet is still acquainting himself with head coach Ime Udoka's system after spending the first seven years of his career with the Toronto Raptors, but he's averaging a solid 16.6 points, 9.0 assists, and 3.1 threes in 37.4 minutes over 14 games. Expect his 0.8 steals per game to rise, after the 29-year-old All-Star averaged 1.8 a night over his last four years in Toronto.
