Battling the flu against the Mavs on Wednesday, Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry did anything but stuff the stat sheet as he scored just three points on 0-for-10 shooting and added five assists and four rebounds.
Making up for that dud and obviously feeling better, Lowry had the fourth triple-double of his career on Friday night against the Sixers.
Lowry finished with 18 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds.
Before his triple-double tonight, there were 16 double-doubles by 12 other players this season. Pacers shooting guard Lance Stephenson leads the league with three triple-doubles this season.

Consensus NBA Power Rankings, Week 11
More than one-third of the way through the 2013-14 season, I decided to take a look at the odds to win the NBA Championship (via Sportsbook.ag).
While it should come as no surprise that the Miami Heat (3/2) have the lowest odds to win it all and the Pacers (3/1) are second, I am surprised a little bit by the Eastern Conference team that is third.
Before I get to that, the next seven teams (after the Heat/Pacers) all reside in the Western Conference: Thunder (6/1), Spurs (8/1), Clippers (12/1), Rockets, Blazers and Warriors (all 15/1) and Timberwolves (50/1).
Next in line are the Grizzlies and Mavs (60/1), who are tied with the Toronto Raptors.
After a slow start, a horrible one for the Atlantic Division as a whole, the Raptors are 16-16 and currently lead the division.
Even though they lost Sunday night to the Heat, the Raptors had won their previous five games and have won seven of their past nine games. The Raptors will get another tough game as they head to Indiana on Tuesday to take on the Pacers.
Shooting guard DeMar DeRozan continues to develop his game as he leads the team in scoring with a career-high 21.1 points per game. In addition, point guard Kyle Lowry is averaging 7.6 assists per game, which ranks ninth in the league, and 15.7 points per game, both of which are career highs.
Despite their horrible starts, however, the Nets are 2-0 and the Knicks are 2-1 so far in January. (The Knicks' loss was a two-point loss to the Rockets in Houston.)
It will be interesting to see if the Nets and/or Knicks can continue to turn around things now that the calendar has turned to 2014. Going into the season, the expectations for both teams were certainly much higher than those for the Raptors.
Right now, however, the Nets and Knicks both have 150/1 odds to win the NBA title.

Jose Calderon has season-high 18 assists
Toronto Raptors point guard Jose Calderon had a season-high 18 assists in today's win over the Magic.
With the exception of only nine assists last night, Calderon has double-digit assists in four of his past five games. He has three double-doubles, one of which was his first-ever triple-double, during that stretch.
During those five games, Calderon is averaging 13.2 points and 11.6 assists per game.
Until Kyle Lowry returns, he should continue to be a great source of assists for fantasy owners.

Andre Iguodala had a triple-double vs. Pistons
With their 14th win in their first 20 games, the Sixers got a big performance from Andre Iguodala against the Pistons tonight.
Iguodala only took seven shots, but he finished with a very efficient triple-double: 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
Boston's Rajon Rondo and Houston's Kyle Lowry had triple-doubles earlier this month. Iguodala's triple-double was the third by any player this season.
In his career, Iguodala had seven triple-doubles entering this season including three of them last year.
On the season, Iggy is averaging 13.0 points, 6.2 points and 4.7 assists per game.
