VanVleet is being held out to manage a hip injury he suffered earlier in the season.
Anunoby has missed three games with a sore left calf, Boucher hasn't played in eight games due to a sprained MCL in his left knee, and Watson Jr. has been out for nine consecutive games because of left knee tendinitis. Watanabe missed Thursday's game due to right ankle soreness.
