It's the second night of a back-to-back set, so VanVleet will receive his standard maintenance day, but he should return for Monday's meeting with the Celtics. Reed Sheppard (back) is also out for Saturday's game, so Marcus Smart could draw the start at point guard, and Amen Thompson should see some increased playmaking responsibilities.
