Raptors' Gradey Dick: Drains four threes Thursday
Gradey Dick ended with 19 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 101-94 loss to Brooklyn.Dick has been a bit inconsistent, but it's undeniable that he seems to be taking a step forward in recent games. The second-year guard has scored at least 15 points in five of his six December appearances, averaging 19.5 points per game and shooting 36.4 percent from deep in that stretch. The shooting numbers he posted in college haven't translated to the NBA yet, but the sharpshooting guard seems to be trending in the right direction based on his numbers in the last few weeks.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Scores 27 points in loss
Gradey Dick accumulated 27 points (9-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Monday's 122-121 loss to Chicago.Dick is establishing himself as a reliable offensive option in a rebuilding Toronto team, and his numbers have been quite good since returning from a five-game absence between Nov. 25 and Dec. 3 due to a calf problem. Dick has surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his last four appearances and is averaging 20.8 points per game in that span, but he's doing so by shooting just 39.4 percent from the floor and 30.8 percent from deep.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Puts up 22 points Thursday
Gradey Dick recorded 22 points (8-19 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes during Thursday's 114-104 loss to Miami.Dick surpassed the 20-point mark for the eighth time this season. Even though going 3-for-11 from three-point range isn't exactly eye-popping, the shooting volume will allow Dick to remain relevant in fantasy, especially considering how depleted the Toronto Raptors are right now. The second-year guard has scored at least 15 points in three of his last four appearances, so he seems to be trending in the right direction. He's likely to flourish as a solid scoring weapon due to the absence of other key rotation pieces, such as Scottie Barnes (ankle) and Immanuel Quickley (elbow), for the time being.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Shoots well in return
Gradey Dick (calf) tallied 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two steals and one rebound across 23 minutes Thursday in the Toronto Raptors' 129-92 loss to the Thunder.Because of the blowout nature of the game in addition to the fact that he was returning from a five-game absence due to a bruised left calf, Dick saw his fewest minutes of the season Thursday. The second-year wing started and shot well from three-point land in his return, but aside from his contributions in the steals category, his stat line was mostly lacking. Dick is averaging 17.9 points and 2.4 three-pointers over his 18 appearances thus far, but many of his big games came with Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley (elbow) missing time with injuries. Quickley appears on track to return at some point later this month, so Dick could be headed for a reduction in his 22.7 percent usage rate as the season unfolds.
