Dick produced 24 points (9-20 FG, 6-14 3Pt) and four rebounds across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 loss to the Nets.
Dick's season-high six threes helped him produce his highest scoring output of 2023-24 during Wednesday's loss. Coming out of Kansas, Dick was considered one of the best outside shooting prospects in the 2023 NBA Draft. While his rookie year started off slow, he is shooting 39.6 percent on 4.8 three-point attempts per contest in his 39 appearances since the beginning of 2024.

Dick (groin) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Dick scored 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt) in 24 minutes before leaving Sunday's win over Washington due to a right groin contusion. He'll have a chance to suit up Tuesday, and if cleared, he could move back into the starting lineup, as Immanuel Quickley (rest) has been ruled out.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Coming off bench
Rotowire
Dick will play a reserve role in Friday's game against the Bucks.
The Raptors are opting to shake things up with several different starters, which will result in Dick coming off the bench. The rookie has averaged 6.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 16.6 minutes in 41 games as a reserve this season.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Pops for career-high 23 in loss
Rotowire
Dick finished Wednesday's 145-101 loss to the Knicks with 23 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and one rebound in 30 minutes.
The rookie guard led the Raptors in scoring while setting a new career high as he made his 10th straight start for the injury-ravaged club. Dick has scored in double digits only five times over that stretch, displaying some unsurprising consistency issues, but the 13th overall pick in the 2023 Draft has mostly held up well with the extra usage and has averaged 12.6 points, 2.6 boards, 2.0 assists and 1.8 threes during that stretch while playing 31.9 minutes a contest. With Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) and RJ Barrett (conditioning) both on the cusp of rejoining the lineup though, Dick's workload could be reduced even if remains in the starting five.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Drains four threes vs. OKC
Rotowire
Dick racked up 21 points (8-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 123-103 loss to the Thunder.
Dick's four threes Friday is the sixth time he's hit that mark this season, and his 21 points were his most since Feb. 5 against the Pelicans. Dick has started in each of his last seven games and has averaged 11.1 points on 38.5 percent shooting, 2.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists over 31.7 minutes per game in that span.
Raptors' Gradey Dick: Strong showing in Monday's start
Rotowire
Dick provided 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and two steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 125-119 loss to the Nuggets.
With Immanuel Quickley (hip) and Gary Trent (groin) both unavailable, Dick remained in the starting lineup for a second straight game after subbing in for RJ Barrett (illness) during Toronto's previous contest. The rookie set a new career high in assists while draining multiple three-pointers for the seventh time in the last nine games. The rookie guard has seen his workload grow in March, and he's holding his own -- through his last six contests, he's averaging 10.3 points, 3.2 boards, 2.2 threes, 2.0 assists and 0.8 steals in 30.7 minutes a game.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Moves into starting unit
Rotowire
Dick moved into the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers after RJ Barrett (illness) was announced as a late scratch.
Dick will make just the second start of his NBA career. In the previous one, he finished with 11 points, two assists and a steal while going 1-for-6 from three-point range. The rookie out of Kansas has been playing well of late, though, scoring in double digits in five of his last seven appearances off the bench while hitting 42.1 percent of his threes in that span.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Sinks four triples in loss
Rotowire
Dick registered 12 points (4-12 FG, 4-10 3Pt) and two rebounds over 31 minutes during Thursday's 120-113 loss to the Suns.
Over his last 14 appearances, the rookie is averaging 11.4 points on 52.1 percent shooting, including 46.5 percent from deep. With Scottie Barnes (hand) and Bruce Brown (knee) sidelined, there should be plenty of minutes available for Dick during the stretch run. However, Dick likely has to find ways to contribute defensively if he's going to make an impact in standard fantasy leagues.
Raptors' Gradey Dick: Puts shooting prowess on display
Rotowire
Dick supplied 18 points (7-9 FG, 4-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 130-122 win over the Pacers.
Dick caught fire from beyond the arc, drills at least four triples for the fourth time this season. The rookie is now connecting on 38.2 percent of his attempts from distance this season, with his off-ball skill set making him an ideal complement to playmakers Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley. Dick has held a stable role of late ranging between 20 and 23 minutes over his last seven contests, but if the 22-36 Raptors fade further from the Play-In Tournament picture, he could see his playing time pick up further in March and April.

Raptors' Gradey Dick: Pops for 18 off bench
Rotowire
Dick ended Friday's 123-121 win over Atlanta with 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes off the bench.
Jordan Nwora got the start Friday with RJ Barrett (knee) sidelined, but it was Dick who benefitted most from the absence. The rookie guard led the Toronto bench in scoring on a night when eight different Raptors scored in double digits. Dick is beginning to get his shot off consistently in the NBA, making at least one three-pointer in eight straight games and averaging 12.3 points and 2.4 threes in 21.1 minutes a contest while shooting 56.7 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent (19-for-38) from long distance. As yet, however, the 20-year-old offers little else as a fantasy asset.
