Scores 23 in win
Siakam chipped in 23 points (10-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 116-105 victory over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has been on quite the scoring tear recently, averaging 26.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.8 threes on a 40.7 percent clip across 32.2 minutes in his last six appearances. While Indiana continues to deal with a slew of injuries, Siakam and other key contributors within the starting lineup like Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin are healthy and have prompted the team to string back-to-back wins.
Dec 6, 2025
Nets season-high 36 points in win
Siakam notched 36 points (13-24 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 31 minutes during Friday's 120-105 victory over Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was scoreless through the first quarter of Friday's win, but he couldn't be stopped once his shot started falling and he finished with a new season high in points. Siakam helped the Pacers snap a two-game skid as they earned their first road win of the season.
Dec 1, 2025
Team-high 26 points in loss
Siakam tallied 26 points (11-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during the Pacers' 135-119 loss to the Cavaliers on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Siakam put together another solid stat line Monday as he led the Pacers in both points and rebounds (including five offensive boards). The veteran forward has scored at least 22 points in eight of his last nine outings, and over that span he has averaged 24.0 points (on 52.6 percent shooting), 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.7 threes, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks over 33.6 minutes per game.
Nov 29, 2025
Sinks game-winning shot
Siakam accumulated 24 points (11-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 103-101 win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was the hero for the Pacers after draining the game-winning shot, but he did more than that, as he also posted an excellent fantasy line with at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. Siakam has surpassed the 20-point mark in seven of his last eight games, and his role as the Pacers' go-to weapon on offense is not under any threat. Expect the star forward to continue holding a very high floor in all formats due to his elevated usage rate.
Nov 24, 2025
Scores 24 points with full line
Siakam accumulated 24 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-14 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 122-117 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
This was just the third game this season that Siakam failed to connect from three-point range, but he delivered in every other statistical category. He's having a big year as the main man in Indiana, posting averages of 24.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.9 triples and 1.2 steals per game.
Nov 22, 2025
Sniffs double-double
Siakam provided 26 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 120-109 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam finished just one rebound away from recording what would've been his first double-double since Oct. 29. The big man opened the season with three double-doubles in his first four appearances, but he hasn't been able to repeat that feat. He'll remain above-average fantasy value as long as he remains a capable scorer, as Siakam is firmly entrenched as the Pacers' primary scoring alternative. He's putting up 24.9 points per game since the beginning of November.
Nov 20, 2025
Leads pacers to 2nd win
Siakam logged 22 points (9-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 127-118 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Wins have been few and far between for this Pacers squad without Tyrese Haliburton, but 22 points and seven assists from Siakam was enough to guide the Pacers to victory over Charlotte. In his 10th season, Siakam is averaging a career-best 24.9 points per game as Indiana's lead man. He's suited up in 13-of-14 games for the Pacers, and should maintain the elite production.
Nov 17, 2025
Scores 29 points in loss
Siakam registered 29 points (8-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 10-12 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and three turnovers in 34 minutes during Monday's 127-112 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Siakam again led his team in points in a losing effort, as the Pacers collected their eighth straight loss. Last year's Easter Conference champions have opened the 2025-26 season 1-13, which currently stands as the worst record in the league.
Nov 15, 2025
Scores 30 points
Siakam notched 30 points (10-19 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 36 minutes in Saturday's 129-111 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was the leading scorer for a depleted Pacers team, and he was one of two players who notched double-digit points. The star forward has been the Pacers' go-to option on offense regularly, so his numbers aren't surprising, especially when considering his sky-high usage rate.
Nov 12, 2025
Scores team-high 27 points
Siakam chipped in 27 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 152-128 loss to Utah.
ANALYSIS
Although Siakam's final results were fine on paper, the Pacers showed no defensive mettle in the interior and allowed the Jazz to walk all over them. Indiana's 1-10 record shows just how badly they are struggling. Despite the poor start, Siakam's high usage and opportunity make him a worthy fantasy candidate every time he takes the floor.
Nov 10, 2025
Not listed on injury report
Siakam (rest) is not listed on the injury report head of Tuesday's game in Utah, Jeremiah Johnson of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam sat out the second leg of a back-to-back Sunday for rest purposes, but he'll be back in action Tuesday night without any restrictions. The Pacers don't have any back-to-backs in Week 4, so Siakam should be available for all three of Indiana's games.
Nov 9, 2025
Resting Sunday
Siakam (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Siakam will sit out the second leg of Indiana's back-to-back set, marking his first absence of the season. With the star forward sidelined, Jarace Walker, Jay Huff and Tony Bradley are candidates for increased minutes. Siakam's next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Jazz.
Nov 5, 2025
Fills stat sheet against BKN
Siakam generated 23 points (10-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-6 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 36 minutes of Wednesday's 112-103 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has been tasked with a massive offensive role while the Pacers navigate a slew of injuries. The forward led the team in points and assists during the loss, though he did commit seven turnovers. Through eight games this season, Siakam is averaging what would be a career-high 25.6 points while averaging what would be his most assists (5.8) and rebounds (8.1) in several years.
Nov 3, 2025
Paces Indiana in loss
Siakam supplied 32 points (11-24 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 9-12 FT), eight assists, five rebounds, three steals and one block across 38 minutes in Monday's 117-115 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam delivered his third performance with at least 30 points through seven regular-season appearances, albeit in a losing effort. However, the star forward struggled from three-point range and has shot just 23.5 percent from downtown in his last three outings. Still, he dished out a game-high mark in assists and will likely continue to take on increased playmaking duties until Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) and T.J. McConnell (hamstring) return.
Nov 1, 2025
Pours in 27 points
Siakam produced 27 points (12-23 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 38 minutes during Saturday's 114-109 win over Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Siakam posted an improved final line Saturday after struggling to find his groove Friday evening. He willed his team to their first win of the season, logging a season-high 38 minutes while finishing second in scoring behind Aaron Nesmith's 31-point outburst. Siakam will likely continue to be asked to shoulder much of the scoring load for Indiana until Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) and Bennedict Mathurin (toe) can get healthy.
Nov 1, 2025
Paces scoring attack
Siakam recorded 18 points (5-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-10 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 128-108 loss against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam didn't have a great night shooting the basketball after going 15-for-24 from the field over his previous two appearances. However, he still managed to reach 18 points to lead Indiana in scoring. Siakam is averaging 24.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists through his five five appearances of the 2025-26 campaign.
Oct 29, 2025
Double-doubles in loss
Siakam went off for 27 points (9-23 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-12 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, two steals and three turnovers in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 107-105 loss to the Mavs.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has been rolling this season, hitting career-highs across the board behind averages of 26.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.5 triples, 1.5 steals, 0.5 swats and 2.0 turnovers per contest His usage rate has skyrocketed to 29.7 sans Bennedict Mathurin (toe), as he's the only guy on this Pacers' team who can consistently create his own offense. Expect the big stat lines to continue.
Oct 26, 2025
Flirts with triple-double in loss
Siakam recorded 33 points (11-24 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, three steals and two turnovers in 37 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was held to just 13 points his last time out, but he surpassed that total before the first half of Sunday's game, and he also ripped away three steals after failing to get any during Saturday's loss. He's going to be the primary point of Indiana's attack while Bennedict Mathurin (foot) is sidelined, so he should have some big stat lines coming his way.
Oct 26, 2025
Tallies 13p/6r/6a in loss
Siakam totaled 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one block across 26 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Following his 32-point, 15-rebound performance in the Pacers' season opener on Thursday, Siakam was limited to just 26 minutes in their 25-point loss to the Grizzlies on Saturday. Memphis jumped out to a double-digit lead in the second quarter and never relinquished it, going up by as many as 30 points during the final frame. If Bennedict Mathurin (foot) misses any time moving forward, Siakam becomes the focal point of Indiana's offense.
Oct 24, 2025
Goes for 32-and-15 in loss
Siakam totaled 32 points (12-25 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-12 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 44 minutes during Thursday's 141-135 double-overtime loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Siakam stood tall for the Pacers, despite the loss, producing a balanced performance, outside of the poor free-throw shooting. With Tyrese Haliburton likely to miss the entire season due to an Achilles injury, Siakam is going to be front and center when it comes to production. Barring injury, it wouldn't be surprising to see Siakam put together the best fantasy season of his career.
Oct 14, 2025
Puts up 17 points in preseason
Siakam logged 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two stealsin 24 minutes of Monday's 124-108 preseason loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Siakam rested in Saturday's preseason win over the Thunder, but he was back in action with a modest workload Monday. With Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) out of the equation, and with T.J. McConnell (hamstring) sidelined to open the season, Siakam has a chance to see a career-high usage rate in 2025-26.
Oct 13, 2025
Returning to lineup Monday
Siakam is starting Monday's preseason game against the Spurs, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam rested in Saturday's preseason win over the Thunder, but he'll get some exhibition reps Monday. Obi Toppin will revert back to the bench against San Antonio.
Oct 12, 2025
Sits out Saturday
Siakam (rest) did not play in Saturday's preseason win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
The Pacers didn't mention an injury for Siakam, and this appears to have been a planned maintenance day for the veteran. His next chance to play comes in Monday's exhibition against the Spurs.
Oct 7, 2025
Chips in 14 points in preseason win
Siakam supplied 14 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 14 minutes in Tuesday's 135-134 preseason victory over the Timberwolves in overtime.
ANALYSIS
Siakam saw limited action in the Pacers' preseason opener but still finished as the team's second-leading scorer. The star forward also tied the team-high mark in steals. The 31-year-old is expected to serve as Indiana's clear top option with Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) sidelined for the entire season.
Apr 12, 2025
Downgraded to out Sunday
Siakam has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to right elbow injury management.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was initially listed as available for Sunday's game, but the Pacers flipped his status and have decided to rest the star forward, which makes sense given that the Pacers have already secured a spot in the playoffs. Siakam will end the season with averages of 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 steals per game. In his absence, Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker should see more minutes Sunday.
Apr 12, 2025
Available to play Sunday
Siakam (elbow) is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam didn't play Friday against the Magic, but it seems the injury wasn't severe, and the power forward will see minutes in the regular-season finale, which will work as the team's final tune-up before the start of the playoffs. This means Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin are likely to return to their regular roles on the bench.
Apr 11, 2025
Won't play Friday
Siakam won't play Friday against the Magic due to right elbow injury management.
ANALYSIS
With the Pacers locking down home-court advantage in the postseason, they will rest their entire starting lineup for the second leg of this back-to-back set. It remains to be seen if Siakam will suit up Sunday against the Cavaliers. Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin could step into larger roles in Siakam's absence.
Apr 9, 2025
Double-doubles in return
Siakam chipped in 24 points (11-19 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 104-98 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Siakam returned from a one-game absence following an elbow injury and delivered a solid showing while notching his first double-double since March 11. Siakam is averaging 19.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and a combined 1.6 steals-plus-blocks per game in 19 contests since the beginning of March.
Apr 8, 2025
Will play against Wizards
Siakam (elbow) will play in Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam will overcome an elbow issue to suit up and send Obi Toppin to the bench, with the former returning from a one-game absence Sunday against the Nuggets. Provided Tuesday's soft matchup against Washington stays competitive, the star forward should see his normal allotment of minutes. Siakam has hit the 20-point mark in just one of his last seven games, during which he's averaged 14.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 29.3 minutes
Apr 7, 2025
Iffy for Tuesday
Siakam (elbow) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Siakam missed Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to an elbow injury, and his status remains uncertain for Tuesday. If the star forward needs to sit out once more, the Pacers should give Obi Toppin the start at power forward. Toppin has averaged 28.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 5.5 three-pointers in 35.7 minutes over two appearances as a starter this season.
Apr 5, 2025
Won't play Sunday
Siakam is out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to right olecranon bursitis.
ANALYSIS
The Pacers will be without one of their best players due to an elbow injury, and the Pacers are willing to deploy a conservative approach with Siakam if that helps him be close to 100 percent for the playoffs. Siakam is averaging 16.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in his last 10 appearances, and if he's out, expect Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin to see more minutes in the frontcourt alongside Myles Turner. Siakam's next chance to play will come against the Wizards on Tuesday.
Apr 4, 2025
Set to play against Utah
Siakam (elbow) is available for Friday's game versus the Jazz, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite dealing with right elbow bursitis. Siakam is averaging 16.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 31.9 minutes across his previous 10 appearances.
Apr 3, 2025
Added to injury report
Siakam is questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz due to right elbow bursitis, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam didn't shoot all that well in his last appearance Wednesday against the Hornets, though it's unclear if the issue was bothering him during the matchup. If he's unable to go Friday, look for Jarace Walker, Bennedict Mathurin and Obi Toppin to see an increase in minutes.
Apr 3, 2025
Scores 15 points on 15 shots
Siakam totaled 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 119-105 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Siakam's numbers have been trending in the wrong direction over the last few weeks. The veteran big man remains one of the Pacers' go-to options on offense, but his numbers have been subpar of late, and the last three games have been particularly worrisome -- he's averaging 12.3 points per game while shooting 34.1 percent from the field in that span. There's a chance this is nothing but a cold stretch for the star big man, however, as he's averaging 19.3 points per game while shooting 49.9 percent from the floor since the All-Star break.
Apr 1, 2025
Cold shooting in close win
Siakam closed with 11 points (4-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists and three rebounds in Monday's 111-109 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Siakam struggled from the field Monday, but his team still managed to pull out a victory. The 30-year-old shot below 40 percent for the second consecutive game and third time in his past five outings. Despite this mini-slump, Siakam has been incredibly impactful for the Pacers, making his third All-Star Game in 2025 and helping position the team for a high seed in the playoffs.
Mar 28, 2025
Efficient in limited run Thursday
Siakam had 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Thursday's 162-109 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Siakam scored an efficient 13 points Thursday, logging a season-low 23 minutes in the blowout win. The Pacers have won five of their last six outings, during which the star forward has averaged 17.2 points, 4.5 assists and 4.0 rebounds across 32.2 minutes per contest. He has shot 51.3 percent from the field in that six-game span.
Mar 20, 2025
Quiet offensively in overtime win
Siakam finished with six points (2-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 35 minutes in Thursday's 105-99 overtime win over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Siakam had an uncharacteristically quiet performance offensively in Thursday's contest, posting a season-low point total though he handed out a team-high assist total in the overtime battle. Siakam failed to reach double figures in scoring for just the second time this season, his other such performance occurring Dec. 8 when he posted a then season-low nine points.
Mar 19, 2025
Flirts with 30 points in return
Siakam amassed 29 points (11-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, five assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 135-131 win over Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Siakam returned Wednesday after missing Monday's contest for personal reasons, leading all Indiana players in scoring while connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three in a near 30-point showcase. Siakam has posted at least 29 points in seven contests, having scored north of 25 points in four straight outings.
Mar 19, 2025
Returning Wednesday vs. Dallas
Siakam (personal) is available for Wednesday's game against hte Mavericks, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam missed Monday's win over the Timberwolves due to personal reasons, but he will be back on the court for Wednesday's interconference clash. He has averaged 23.4 points on 54.7 percent shooting, 6.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 blocks over 32.4 minutes per game since the beginning of March. Siakam's return will mean one of Obi Toppin or Jarace Walker retreats to a reserve role.
Mar 18, 2025
Questionable against Dallas
Siakam is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks for personal reasons.
ANALYSIS
Siakam is in jeopardy of missing consecutive outings Wednesday. With Jarace Walker (ankle) also questionable against Dallas, the Pacers could lean on Obi Toppin for the bulk of the minutes at power forward after he made his first start of the season Monday.
Mar 16, 2025
Won't play Monday
Siakam won't play in Monday's game against the Timberwolves due to personal reasons.
ANALYSIS
Siakam will miss his first game of the season, which also marks his first absence as a member of the Pacers. Obi Toppin will likely see increased minutes with Siakam out of the lineup, while Jarace Walker could see some run in a reserve role.
Mar 16, 2025
Hits for 26 in loss
Siakam closed Saturday's 126-119 loss to the Bucks with 26 points (12-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old forward keeps rolling, scoring at least 25 points for the third straight game. Siakam has found another gear in March as the Pacers try to lock up a playoff spot, and he's averaging 23.4 points, 6.4 boards, 3.4 assists, 1.5 threes and 0.9 blocks on the month while shooting 54.7 percent from the floor.
Mar 15, 2025
Scores 27 points in win
Siakam ended with 27 points (12-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday's 112-100 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was listed as questionable for Friday's game due to an elbow injury, and while he was reportedly deemed as sore and not 100 percent healthy to play, the injury didn't appear to bother him in this matchup. Siakam has been playing at a high level since the calendar flipped to March, scoring at least 20 points five times across seven contests and averaging 23.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in that stretch.
Mar 14, 2025
Upgraded to available
Siakam (elbow) is available for Friday's game against the 76ers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam isn't 100 percent healthy and is dealing with some soreness, but the big man will give it a go Friday. He's averaging 22.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and a combined 1.2 steals-plus-blocks across 31.8 minutes per game in six outings this month.
Mar 14, 2025
Late addition to report Friday
Siakam is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers due to right olecranon bursitis.
ANALYSIS
The right elbow inflammation is a new concern for Siakam, who has yet to miss an outing on the season. If the star forward is sidelined, Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker are candidates for an increased role. Siakam has averaged 22.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists across 32.0 minutes per game in his last five appearances.
Mar 11, 2025
Leads Indiana in victory
Siakam provided 25 points (10-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 115-114 victory over Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Siakam led the Pacers with a game-high 25 points, logging his 10th double-double on the season. Additionally, the star forward was efficient from beyond the arc after shooting 2-for-9 from downtown over his last two appearances. Siakam has been a consistent scorer for Indiana through 64 regular-season games, and he recorded his 36th outing with at least 20 points in the win.
Mar 9, 2025
Hits for 23 in Atlanta
Siakam chipped in 23 points (8-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 120-118 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
It's the fourth time in the last five games that Siakam has delivered at least 20 points. The veteran forward is averaging 26.4 points, 5.8 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.6 threes and 0.8 steals during that surge while shooting 53.8 percent from the floor and 41.9 percent from beyond the arc, as the Pacers try to lock up a playoff spot -- they currently sit fifth in the Eastern Conference, just one game back of the Bucks for fourth.
Mar 6, 2025
Strong offensively in 35-point game
Siakam posted 35 points (12-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes in Thursday's 124-118 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Siakam led the way for Indiana offensively and on the boards Thursday, leading all Pacers in scoring and shots made while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total and coming up one board shy of a double-double. Siakam has been hot as of late, tallying 35 or more points in two of his last four outings.
Mar 1, 2025
Knocks down eight triples in loss
Siakam amassed 36 points (13-21 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Friday's 125-120 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Siakam sank a season-high eight triples en route to his second-highest scoring performance of the 2024-25 campaign, albeit in a losing effort. The ninth-year forward has logged three 30-plus-point outings this season, with all such occurrences having happened within the club's last 13 outings. Additionally, Siakam recorded multiple steals for the 16th time through 58 regular-season appearances. Over his last 10 games, the 30-year-old has averaged 20.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 steals in 32.6 minutes per contest.
Feb 27, 2025
Solid display in win
Siakam ended Wednesday's 111-91 victory over the Raptors with 15 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner led the way for the Pacers in this win, but there's no question Siakam posted a solid showing on both ends of the court as well, ending just two boards shy of what would've been his third double-double of the month. Siakam is averaging 19.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals per game since the beginning of February.

Hits for team-high 23 in loss

The veteran forward has delivered at least 15 points in every game since the calendar flipped to 2025, averaging 22.5 points, 7.7 boards, 3.5 assists, 1.2 threes, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks over the last 17 contests.
Feb 7, 2025
Huge double-double in comeback win
Siakam recorded a game-high 33 points (13-19 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Thursday's 119-112 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward took control of the game for the Pacers after the visitors staggered through a brutal first quarter that saw the Clippers build a 42-22 lead, in part because Myles Turner (concussion) left the court after only six minutes. The double-double was Siakam's eighth of the season, and it was the 10th time in the last 13 games that he's delivered at least 20 points -- a stretch in which he's averaging 23.7 points, 7.6 boards, 3.5 assists, 1.5 threes, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 57.9 percent from the floor.
Feb 4, 2025
Fuels comeback win Monday
Siakam provided a game-high 22 points (8-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Monday's 112-111 victory over Utah.
ANALYSIS
Ten of Siakam's 22 points came in the fourth quarter as the Pacers erased a 12-point deficit with less than seven minutes left. The veteran forward has raised his game over the last month, scoring 20-plus points in nine of the last 11 games while averaging 23.5 points, 7.5 boards, 3.9 assists, 1.3 threes, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 steals and shooting 58.0 percent from the floor.

Pours in season-high 37 in win
Siakam registered 37 points (15-21 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 133-119 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward led all scorers on the night, and the 37 points were a season high for Siakam. In fact, it was his first time producing 30 or more points since Apr. 23, 2024 against the Bucks. Siakam's numbers have taken a step forward in January, and through 12 games on the month he's averaging 22.4 points, 7.8 boards, 3.7 assists, 1.3 threes, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting 56.3 percent from the floor.
Jan 25, 2025
Double-doubles in victory

ANALYSIS
Siakam stuffed the stat sheet in an efficient performance, posting his seventh double-double across 45 regular-season appearances. The star forward also tied the game high in blocks, recording a season-best mark in swats to go along with two swipes in his 11th outing with multiple steals. Siakam has racked up 20-plus points in four of his last five outings, shooting 56.6 percent from the field in that five-game span.
Jan 19, 2025
Comes close to double-double
Siakam had 21 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-14 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 35 minutes during Saturday's 115-102 victory over Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Siakam finished just two rebounds shy of recording what would've been his first double-double since Jan. 2. The star big man has found ways to remain productive even if the double-doubles have been lacking, though. He's reached the 20-point plateau five times over his last six appearances, a span in which he's averaging 23.2 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game.
Jan 15, 2025
Logs team highs in loss
Siakam ended Tuesday's 127-117 loss to Cleveland with 23 points (10-16 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam led the Pacers in both points and rebounds in an extremely efficient outing, albeit in a losing effort. The 30-year-old posted 21 of his 23 points in the first half, during which he shot 9-for-11 from the field. However, Siakam was silent from the offensive end in the second half, as he posted two points while putting up only five shots. The ninth-year pro has scored at least 18 points in each of his last five outings, though he has yet to score 30-plus over 41 regular-season appearances.
Jan 13, 2025
Just misses double-double Sunday
Siakam accumulated 18 points (8-21 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 108-93 victory over Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
For the third time in the last five games, Siakam has fallen one board short of a double-double, leaving him stuck on six for the season. The veteran forward has scored at least 14 points in 15 straight games, averaging 20.2 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.9 threes over that stretch while shooting 51.5 percent from the floor and 40.3 percent from beyond the arc.
Jan 11, 2025
Drops 25 against Golden State
Siakam logged 25 points (12-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and 11 rebounds across 30 minutes during Friday's 108-96 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward tied Tyrese Haliburton for the team lead in scoring while delivering his sixth double-double of the season. Five of them have come in the last 12 contests, a stretch in which Siakam is averaging 20.0 points, 9.2 boards, 2.8 assists and 2.0 threes while shooting 51.4 percent from the floor and 40.7 percent from beyond the arc.
Jan 7, 2025
Scores 19 points Monday
Siakam provided 19 points (7-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Monday's 113-99 victory over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Siakam reached the 15-point plateau for the fifth straight game, but that's the only noteworthy outcome out of his performance in this win over the Nets. He's recorded just one double-double in that span, though, so he hasn't been doing much outside of scoring. Siakam is averaging 17.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game over that five-game stretch, but even if his numbers are a bit down compared to his regular-season averages, he should remain a reliable offensive weapon for the Pacers going forward.
Jan 5, 2025
Another well-rounded statline in win
Siakam logged 15 points (7-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt), nine rebounds and four assists during 34 minutes of play in Saturday's 126-108 win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
The forward has put together a string of nice performances of late, averaging 16.8 points, 8.8 boards and 3.8 assists while shooting 49 percent from the field and 40.9 percent from deep over his last five games. It seems as though he flirts with double-doubles on an almost nightly basis, but has only recorded six on the season, four of which have come since the start of December. His next outing takes place Monday against the Nets.
Jan 3, 2025
Posts double-double
Siakam chipped in 18 points (8-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes during Thursday's 128-115 win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Even though Tyrese Haliburton stole the show with his 33-point, 15-assist performance Thursday, Siakam made his presence felt on both ends of the court en route to posting his second double-double across his last five appearances. The star big man has notched seven double-doubles this season.
Jan 1, 2025
All-around production
Siakam ended Tuesday's 120-112 loss to the Bucks with 20 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-8 FT), seven rebounds and four assists over 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS

Dec 29, 2024
Well-rounded showing in victory
Siakam recorded 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals in 31 minutes during Sunday's 123-114 win over Boston.
ANALYSIS
Siakam did a little bit of everything for Indiana in Sunday's victory, leading all players in steals while tallying team-high-tying marks in rebounds and blocks to go along with a double-digit scoring total.

ANALYSIS
Siakam led the way for Indiana from deep Thursday, pacing all players in shots made from three while concluding as one of two Pacers with 20 or more points in a double-double performance. Siakam has connected on five or more threes in three outings, posting his sixth double-double of the 2024-25 campaign.
Dec 24, 2024
Scores 20 points Monday
Siakam chipped in 20 points (9-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 111-105 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Even though Tyrese Haliburton has been fueling the Pacers' ongoing five-game winning streak, Pascal Siakam has posted impressive numbers in his own right as well. He's reached the 20-point mark in four of those five victories, notching two double-doubles and shooting 51.9 percent from the floor in that span. Siakam is firmly entrenched as the Pacers' primary offensive weapon alongside Haliburton. He's putting up 18.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game since the beginning of December.
Dec 23, 2024
Double-double in Sunday's win
Siakam ended with 19 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists across 28 minutes during Sunday's 122-95 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
The double-double was his fourth of the season, but two of them have come in his last two games. Siakam hasn't been able to put together a prolonged hot streak yet in 2024-25, but he may be catching fire -- over the last four contests he's averaging 22.3 points, 10.3 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.5 threes, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting 52.4 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent (10-for-20) from beyond the arc.
Dec 20, 2024
Dominant double-double in win
Siakam ended Thursday's 120-111 win over Phoenix with 25 points (9-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 18 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam stuffed the stat sheet while leading the Pacers with a team-high mark in points and a game-best 18 rebounds. The 30-year-old logged his fourth double-double of the season Thursday, and he also racked up 20-plus points for the 16th time. Over his last five outings, Siakam has averaged 20.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals across 35.6 minutes per contest.
Dec 16, 2024
Leads charge in Sunday's win
Siakam finished with a game-high 22 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The veteran forward topped 20 points for the third time in the last four games, although he managed only nine points in the fourth. Siakam still hasn't returned to the level of production he enjoyed at his peak in Toronto due to lower usage, but he's begin to make up for it by being busier at the defensive end of the court. Over the last nine games, Siakam is averaging 18.8 points, 6.8 boards, 2.6 assists, 1.7 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks while shooting 50.4 percent from the floor.
Dec 14, 2024
Gets back on track Friday
Siakam racked up 23 points (9-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 121-107 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Following a season-low nine points in Sunday's defeat to the Hornets, Siakam wasted no time getting right back on track with a highly efficient 23 points to go with a full box score Friday. Siakam has been a model of consistency for the Pacers in 2024-25, averaging 19.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.4 three-pointers per game over his last 14 games. The 30-year-old star forward has hit double scoring figures in 25 of his 26 appearances this year, and while his usage may be down since being traded from the rebuilding Raptors to Indiana last season, Siakam is burying a career-high 42.2 percent of his three-point attempts on the campaign as a whole.
Dec 9, 2024
Pulls down 11 rebounds
Siakam contributed nine points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 113-109 loss to Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Despite a quiet night offensively, Siakam made up for it by tying his season-best mark of 11 rebounds. He's had a tough start to December by his standards, averaging 14.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.4 three-pointers through his last five outings.
Dec 5, 2024
Hits double scoring figures again
Siakam logged 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 99-90 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
It was just the second time in 22 games that Siakam failed to tally an assist for the Pacers this year, but the forward has now scored at least 13 points in each of those appearances. The Pacers have struggled to a 9-14 record after making the Eastern Conference Finals a year ago, but Siakam has remained productive throughout the team's slow start, averaging 20.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.4 three-pointers in 35.1 minutes per game over his last 11 contests. The 30-year-old star forward should continue to be a steady fantasy contributor going forward, and a soft matchup with a Bulls team allowing the most points per game (123.2) in the NBA awaits him Friday.
Nov 30, 2024
Falls just short of double-double
Siakam recorded 21 points (9-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Friday's 130-106 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Siakam led the Pacers in scoring and was the only member of his squad to reach the 20-point threshold. He also found success on the glass, posting his best rebounding performance since Nov. 18 against the Raptors. Siakam is now averaging 22.4 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists over his last seven appearances.
Nov 24, 2024
Surpasses 20 points as top scorer
Siakam amassed 22 points (7-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 115-103 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Siakam once again provided a lift to Indiana on the offensive end, leading all players in scoring while ending second on the team in rebounds and assists. Siakam, who handed out his second-highest assist total this year, has tallied at least 15 points, five boards and five dimes in six outings this season.
Nov 23, 2024
Extends scoring run Friday
Siakam provided 25 points (9-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 129-117 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was one of the few standout performers for the Pacers in an NBA Cup contest where the team had to come from behind time and time again, only to come up short in the end. The veteran forward has been one of the most reliable scoring threats for Indiana and has reached the 20-point mark in his last four appearances, a span where he's averaging 23.5 points per game while shooting 57.4 percent from the floor.
Nov 19, 2024
Second double-double of season
Siakam finished with 25 points (9-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Monday's 130-119 loss to Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Siakam recorded a double-double for the first time since Oct. 30, and while he's lacked a bit of consistency on a game-to-game basis, he's been very productive in recent weeks. Since the beginning of November, the star forward is averaging 20.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.7 steals across 34.7 minutes per contest on nine appearances.
Nov 13, 2024
Leads from deep as top scorer
Siakam closed Wednesday's 94-90 loss to Orlando with 25 points (8-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam continued his trend of shooting well from deep in Wednesday's contest, leading all players in threes made while pacing Indiana in scoring in a losing effort. Siakam has connected on at least four threes in three outings this season, including in two of his last three contests. He has now tallied at least 25 points on four occasions this year.
Nov 9, 2024
Efficient in loss to Charlotte
Siakam posted 27 points (11-17 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 103-83 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was one of the top performers for the Pacers in a game where the entire offense struggled after scoring a season-low 88 points. The veteran forward endured a relatively slow start to the campaign, but he's turned things around quickly and has scored at least 20 points in four of his last six contests. He's putting up 23.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game in that six-game stretch.
Nov 5, 2024
Posts 23 points in victory
Siakam contributed 23 points (10-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 36 minutes during Monday's 134-127 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam is off to a solid start, averaging 20.3 points, 7,0 rebounds and 5.1 assists through the first seven games. He's also converting 55.8 percent of his shots and is dropping three-pointers at a 45.2 percent clip.
Oct 30, 2024
Double-double vs. Boston
Siakam registered 29 points (11-20 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists over 37 minutes in Wednesday's 135-132 overtime win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Siakam finished as the Pacers' second-leading scorer Wednesday behind Bennedict Mathurin (30), and the former was able to log his first double-double of the 2024-25 regular season. Siakam struggled from the charity stripe, but he made up for it from deep as he connected on six triples, which tied a career high. Through the first five games of the regular season, Siakam is averaging 20.6 points on 54.7 percent shooting, 7.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists over 33.4 minutes per game.
Oct 28, 2024
Team-high 26 points vs. Orlando
Siakam supplied 26 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 119-115 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was the Pacers' leading scorer Monday and he was the second-leading scorer for the game behind Paolo Banchero (50). It was Siakam's first game of the regular season where he scored 20-plus points, and through the first four games of the year he's averaging 18.5 points on 54.5 percent shooting, 6.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.0 steals across 32.3 minutes per game.
Oct 27, 2024
Efficient in defeat
Siakam recorded 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists, five rebounds, and one block over 40 minutes during Sunday's 118-114 overtime loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The forward finished the game with an efficient 17 points, making him the second-highest scorer behind Tyrese Haliburton (22). Siakam has been extremely efficient to begin the regular season, though he has yet to eclipse 20 points thus far. The 30-year-old will serve as the club's No. 2 option behind Haliburton, and Siakam's ability to stuff the stat sheet will be crucial in fantasy formats.
Oct 24, 2024
Flirts with triple-double in win
Siakam ended Wednesday's 115-109 win over Detroit with 19 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Tyrese Haliburton wasn't at his best in this season opener, but Siakam picked up the slack from a playmaking perspective. Not only he led the Pacers in assists, but he also finished just two rebounds and one dime away from recording a triple-double. Siakam should benefit from a full offseason and training camp with the Pacers, and on most games, he should operate as the team's second go-to player on offense behind Haliburton.
Oct 17, 2024
Returns to starting lineup
Siakam (rest) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
The Pacers rotated their first unit in the previous preseason contest, but they're trending toward what looks like their lineup for the regular-season opener against the Pistons next Wednesday. Siakam should see a steady role in the Pacers' final tune-up before the start of the 2024-25 campaign.
Oct 14, 2024
Unavailable Monday
Siakam won't play in Monday's preseason game against Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Siakam, Tyrese Haliburton, Aaron Nesmith and T.J. McConnell will all get the night off but should return to action for Thursday's preseason finale against the Hornets. Siakam posted seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists in 16 minutes during last Thursday's win over the Cavaliers.
Oct 9, 2024
Efficient in preseason debut
Siakam posted 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and a steal across 16 minutes in Tuesday's 131-130 preseason loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The Pacers limited their starters to just 16 minutes in this preseason opener, but Siakam was undoubtedly one of the top performers for Indiana. The star forward signed a four-year, $189.5 million maximum contract with the Pacers in the offseason and figures to be one of the team's go-to players on offense alongside Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner, so he should be a popular pick across all fantasy formats ahead of his first full season in Indiana.

Stays in Indiana on four-year deal
Siakam agreed Wednesday with the Pacers on a four-year, $189.5 million maximum contract, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS

Siakam and the Pacers are nearing an agreement on a long-term contract extension, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Both sides are motivated to get a deal done after Siakam had a successful half-season in Indiana after coming over in a Jan. 17 trade with the Raptors. The terms of the proposed deal aren't known yet, but Siakam is likely getting a maximum deal or close to it.

Siakam posted 19 points (8-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists over 39 minutes during Monday's 105-102 loss to Boston in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
Siakam did what he could to avoid the elimination and the sweep, but the Pacers didn't have a realistic chance to complete the comeback without Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) leading the offense. Despite the woes the team had in the final two games of the series, Siakam was productive, scoring at least 20 points in all but one of the games in the series vs. Boston and posting two double-doubles in that span.

Leads Pacers in scoring Thursday
Siakam registered 28 points (13-17 FG, 2-2 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Thursday's 126-110 loss to the Celtics in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was Indiana's best player by a wide margin, as he missed just four of his 17 shots and also made his presence felt on the glass in a game where the Pacers looked outmatched in terms of physicality and intensity. Siakam should remain one of Indiana's primary offensive weapons in Game 3, and he would be in line for an even more prominent role in case Tyrese Haliburton (leg) doesn't play Saturday.
May 22, 2024
Nearly triple-doubles
Siakam contributed 24 points (12-23 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Tuesday's 133-128 overtime loss to Boston in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
This was one of the best games of the postseason for Siakam, and he's now scored at least 20 points in four straight outings. He's had quite an impact in these playoffs, posting averages of 21.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists.
May 14, 2024
Scores 22 points in Game 5
Siakam notched 22 points (7-for-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes in Tuesday's 121-91 loss to the Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was the only Pacer to score 20-plus points in Game 5 on Tuesday, and he was the second-leading scorer for the game behind Jalen Brunson. Siakam managed to reach 20-plus points for the second time in three games, and he got some of those from the charity stripe after not attempting a single free throw in Game 4. Siakam is averaging 19.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
May 11, 2024
Goes for 26 points in Game 3 win
Siakam logged 26 points (9-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 31 minutes during Friday's 111-106 win over the Knicks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was remarkably efficient during Friday's win, and even though Tyrese Haliburton grabbed most of the headlines with his 35-point effort, Siakam's impact on offense can't be overlooked. The star big man could be in line for another solid showing in Game 4 of the series Sunday, as the Knicks are extremely depleted in the frontcourt while missing key defensive contributors such as Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and OG Anunoby (hamstring).
Apr 28, 2024
Well-rounded showing in Game 4
Siakam notched 13 points (6-14 FG< 0-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block over 40 minutes in Sunday's 126-113 win over the Bucks in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has been outstanding for Indiana all series against Milwaukee, posting a well-rounded performance in Sunday's Game 4 while helping the Pacers take a commanding 3-1 series lead. Siakam struggled shooting a bit from the field, but still reached double figures in scoring while ending one rebound and three assists short of a triple-double. Siakam has tallied at least 10 points, eight rebounds and five assists in two games this series, and we should expect him to continue to shine for Indiana in a potential series-clinching Game 5 in Milwaukee.
Apr 24, 2024
Double-double onslaught continues
Siakam closed with 37 points (16-23 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds and six assists over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 125-108 win over Milwaukee in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
The last player to open a postseason with two 35-point, 10-rebound performances was Wilt Chamberlain, which gives you an idea of how rare Siakam's run of production is in the playoffs. Siakam was the unquestioned offensive engine for the Pacers, shooting a deadly 69.5 percent from the floor while adding 11 rebounds. If Giannis Antetokounmpo's (calf) absence continues, Siakam should be able to keep his double-double streak intact.
Apr 22, 2024
Leads all scorers in loss
Siakam finished Sunday's 109-94 loss to Milwaukee in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals with 36 points (15-25 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-10 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 40 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam scored a game-high 36 points, doing everything he could to keep the Pacers competitive during Sunday's Game 1 loss to the Bucks. It was arguably his best game since arriving in Indiana, a performance he will need to replicate should they hope to steal Game 2 before heading home.
Apr 14, 2024
Nears 30 points in victory
Siakam finished with 28 points (13-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 25 minutes during Sunday's 157-115 victory over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam provided a nice lift to Indiana offensively in a high-scoring regular-season finale win, ending two points shy of the 30-point mark to go along with a half-dozen rebounds. Siakam concluded the regular season by posting 14 games with 28 or more points, adding at least six boards in eight of those outings.
Apr 4, 2024
Misses out on double-double
Siakam recorded 26 points (12-27 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 115-111 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Despite leading Indiana in points and rebounds during Wednesday's loss, Siakam was one board shy of logging his 15th double-double of 2023-24. The star forward is struggling from the charity stripe as of late, converting just 67.2 percent of his 5.8 free-throw attempts per contest over his last 10 appearances.
Mar 30, 2024
Team-high 22 in win
Siakam had 22 points (8-16 FG, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 109-90 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
The former Raptor led the Pacers in scoring on the night as he topped 20 points for the eighth time in the last 12 games. Over that stretch, Siakam has averaged 23.3 points, 9.4 boards, 3.5 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting 54.0 percent from the floor.
Mar 28, 2024
Held in check against Chicago
Siakam registered 14 points (2-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 9-11 FT), eight rebounds and five assists across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 125-99 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Siakam's season-low seven field-goal attempts led to one of his lowest-scoring outputs of 2023-24 on Wednesday. However, the star forward still was able to lead Indiana in rebounds during their blowout loss. Despite Siakam's poor shooting night, he is still converting 54.0 percent of his field-goal attempts across his 14 appearances in March.
Mar 26, 2024
Propels offense to victory
Siakam closed with 31 points (12-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Monday's 133-116 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam's yin-yang offense with Tyrese Haliburton was on display Monday, as the latter compiled 18 of his 21 points from beyond the arc, while Siakam punished the Clippers with his mid-range jumper and slashes to the basket. Siakam also had moments of easily backing down Paul George, symbolizing how tough and multi-dimensional guarding him can be on a nightly basis.
Mar 26, 2024
Leading scorer in win Monday
Siakam recorded 31 points (12-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Monday's 133-116 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam didn't do much in terms of peripheral stats, but he made a big impact as a scorer, leading all players in the contest with 31 points. It was his second straight performance of 30-plus points after previously failing to reach that mark in 25 straight games. Siakam has reached at least 25 points in four straight contests, marking the first time he has accomplished a streak of that length this season.
Mar 25, 2024
Leads team with 36 points
Siakam totaled 36 points (16-29 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Sunday's 150-145 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam carried the team on his back in the third quarter as they tried to keep pace with the Lakers, and led all scorers in a 46-point final period where he added eight more points. Quiet performances from Tyrese Haliburton have forced Siakam and other playmakers to step up, and the former Raptor should prove to be one of the most productive players in the East as the team makes a final playoff push.
Mar 23, 2024
Posts strong dlouble-double Friday
Siakam finished Friday's 123-111 victory over the Warriors with 25 points (11-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 16 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Tyrese Haliburton played an impressive all-around game Friday, but Siakam certainly made his presence felt with one of his best performances since joining the Pacers. The star big man has been getting more and more comfortable in his new surroundings, and the numbers back that up. He's averaging 22.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game across his last eight appearances.
Mar 20, 2024
Top scorer in balanced outing
Siakam notched 25 points (10-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block over 27 minutes in Wednesday's 122-103 win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Siakam led all players in Wednesday's contest in scoring while leading Indiana in free throws made and ending two board shy of a double-double in a well-rounded performance. Siakam has recorded 25 or more points in 21 games this season, including in two of his last three outings. He has now posted at least 25 points and eight boards in nine contests.
Mar 19, 2024
Double-double against Cleveland
Siakam amassed 19 points (9-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 108-103 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
It's Siakam's 12th double-double of the season, and seventh in 28 games since joining the Pacers. Five of them have come in the last 10 games, a stretch in which the 29-year-old forward is averaging 19.6 points, 8.8 boards, 3.2 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting 52.6 percent from the floor.
Mar 17, 2024
Leads Indiana to victory Saturday
Siakam chipped in 28 points (11-22 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and three steals over 28 minutes during Saturday's 121-100 win over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Siakam delivered a vintage performance Saturday, and he showed the same two-way dominance he used to showcase during his Toronto days, leading the team in both points and rebounds on a night where some of the Pacers' other standout players, mainly Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner, weren't at their best. Siakam has found his role in the Pacers' offensive scheme and has been playing well of late, averaging 19.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game since the beginning of March.
Mar 13, 2024
Double-double in Tuesday's win
Siakam totaled 18 points (6-12 FG, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 121-111 victory over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old forward produced his 10th double-double of the season, and fifth in 25 games since being acquired by the Pacers. Three of those have come in the last seven games, but Siakam still hasn't quite regained the form he typically displayed with the Raptors -- over 10 contests since the All-Star break, he's averaging 19.1 points, 7.8 boards, 3.4 assists and 0.9 threes.
Mar 7, 2024
Scores 24 versus Minnesota
Siakam logged 24 points (10-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes during Thursday's 113-111 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Siakam led the Pacers in scoring Thursday, and the eighth-year forward has been stroking it as of late. He's shot 50.0 percent or better in six of his last eight games and has emphasized interior scoring over three-point attempts. In his last 10 games, Siakam has averaged 19.4 points on 52.6 percent shooting, 7.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists over 32.4 minutes per game.
Mar 4, 2024
Scores 21, grabs eight boards
Siakam amassed 21 points (10-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 38 minutes during Sunday's 117-105 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Siakam finished two rebounds shy of a double-double in Sunday's loss, though he had a tough matchup while dealing with the length of the Spurs' frontcourt of Jeremy Sochan and Victor Wembanyama. Siakam continues to play at a high level for the Pacers, and while the double-doubles have been hard to come by, he's still averaging 19.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 0.5 blocks per game over his last 10 contests.
Feb 29, 2024
Double-double in win over Pels
Siakam contributed 24 points (11-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 victory over New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
The double-double was the seventh of the season for Siakam, and only his second in 19 games since joining the Pacers. The veteran forward may be getting more comfortable with his new club, however -- Siakam has scored 20 or more points in four of the last five contests, averaging 21.2 points, 7.6 boards, 4.4 assists, 1.2 threes and 0.8 blocks over that stretch while shooting 51.2 percent from the floor.
Feb 26, 2024
Shoulders offense to no avail
Siakam produced 27 points (11-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one block over 37 minutes during Monday's 130-122 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Siakam and Bennedict Mathurin (34 points) kept the Pacers afloat amid a quiet showing from Tyrese Haliburton (nine points, 2-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt). Siakam's 22 shot attempts matched his high since being traded to Indiana, and it's safe to say that he's comfortable in the offense.
Feb 15, 2024
Scores 23 in return to Toronto
Siakam finished with 23 points (8-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 127-125 victory over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was among the most productive players for Indiana in this win, and the veteran forward also managed to make an impact on both ends of the court against his former team. Siakam has reached the 20-point mark in four of his eight February appearances, and he enters the All-Star break averaging 21.3 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.5 assists per contest over his last eight outings.
Feb 13, 2024
Consistent production
Siakam amassed 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 111-102 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Siakam entered Monday's contest averaging 17.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists across his last two appearances, and he fell in line with that production once again. He has posted elite efficiency across 13 contests since joining the Pacers, shooting 57.4 percent from the field and 42.3 percent from deep.
Feb 9, 2024
Leads Pacers in scoring
Siakam finished Thursday's 131-109 loss to Golden State with 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was unable to reach the 20-point mark for the fourth consecutive game, but he still delivered an impressive stat line with contributions on both ends of the court and a team-high mark in points. Siakam has surpassed the 15-point plateau in each of his last 10 outings, a span in which he's averaging 22.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists per contest.
Feb 7, 2024
Hits 29-point mark Tuesday
Siakam logged 29 points (11-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 132-129 win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Tyrese Haliburton wasn't at 100 percent due to a nagging hamstring injury, but Siakam picked up the slack offensively and carried the team to victory in this matchup against the Rockets. Siakam struggled to find his place in Indiana's offensive scheme in the early going, but he seems to have adjusted now, and it's fair to consider him a pivotal piece on the offensive end after he posted 22 or more points in four of his last five outings.
Feb 5, 2024
Teases triple-double in Charlotte
Siakam ended Sunday's 115-99 win over the Hornets with 25 points (11-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old forward came close to producing his second triple-double in 10 games as a member of the Pacers. Siakam has hit the ground running with his new club, averaging 21.6 points, 7.3 boards, 5.2 assists, 0.9 threes and 0.8 steals for his new club while shooting 56.2 percent from the floor.
Jan 31, 2024
Hits for 23 in Boston
Siakam had 23 points (9-16 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 129-124 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old forward is looking more and more at home in a Pacers jersey. Over seven games with his new team, Siakam is averaging 21.6 points, 7.4 boards, 5.1 assists and 0.9 threes while shooting 57.4 percent from the floor and 42.9 percent (6-for-14) from long distance. His usage his declined from his Raptors peak and isn't likely to bounce back alongside Tyrese Haliburton, but Siakam's overall package of skills and athleticism still gives him impressive overall fantasy upside.
Jan 27, 2024
Leads Pacers in scoring vs. Suns
Siakam finished with 31 points (14-22 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Friday's 133-131 victory over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Siakam continues his strong start with his new club, as he followed up a triple-double performance Thursday against the 76ers with his first 30-point game with the Pacers on Friday. He's shot 60.0 percent or better in three of his five games in Indiana, and he has averaged 21.8 points on 57.0 percent shooting, 8.0 rebounds, and 5.6 assists across 32.0 minutes per game in that span of time.
Jan 26, 2024
Posts first triple-double in win
Siakam contributed 26 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 13 rebounds and 10 assists across 30 minutes during Thursday's 134-122 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam led all players in Thursday's contest in rebounds and assists while leading the Pacers in scoring en route to posting his first triple-double of the season. Siakam has hauled in 10 or more rebounds in six games this year while handing out 10 or more dimes in two contests. He has now tallied 25 or more points in 15 appearances.
Jan 24, 2024
Double-double against Nuggets
Siakam contributed 16 points (7-16 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old forward is still adjusting to his new teammates and a new system after spending his entire career with Toronto prior to last week's trade, but Tuesday's double-double was his first in three games for Indiana. Siakam's production should pick up once Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) returns to the lineup and the duo can start to develop some chemistry.
Jan 22, 2024
Top distributor in balanced game
Siakam finished with 15 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and seven assists in 30 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 117-110 loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Siakam handed out a team-high assist total while ending as one of three Pacers with 15 or more points despite dealing with foul trouble throughout Sunday's contest. Siakam has tallied seven or more assists in nine games this season, adding 15 or more points in all nine of those outings.
Jan 20, 2024
Scores 21 in Pacers debut
Siakam accumulated 21 points (9-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 118-115 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam had a solid outing in his Pacers debut, and even though Indiana didn't get the win, the power forward looked impressive and showed glimpses of what his partnership with Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner can deliver. Siakam will try to clinch his first win as a Pacer when Indiana takes on the Suns on Sunday.
Jan 19, 2024
Expected to debut Friday
Siakam (recently traded) isn't listed on Indiana's injury report for Friday's game against Portland, and he's expected to make his Pacers debut, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Toronto traded Siakam to the Pacers on Wednesday, but it took a few days to iron out the logistics of the deal. He's with the team in Portland and isn't listed on the injury report, but there's still a chance Indiana opts to hold him out for another game before throwing him into action. However, if available as expected, Siakam should play a leading role in his debut, especially if Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) and Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) are ruled out.
Jan 19, 2024
Travels with team
Siakam (recently traded) traveled with the Pacers to Portland for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers but is uncertain to play, Tony East of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was traded from the Raptors to the Pacers on Wednesday but has yet to make his Indiana debut. Fantasy managers should wait for an official injury report to clarify Siakam's status against Portland.
Jan 18, 2024
Debut date uncertain
Coach Rick Carlisle said Thursday that he isn't certain when Siakam (recently traded) will make his team debut, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
While Carlisle's comments seemingly indicate that Siakam won't be available for Thursday's game against the Kings, the power forward will join the Pacers on their road trip. His next chance to debut will be Friday against the Trail Blazers, but the team also has a matchup in Phoenix on Sunday in which Siakam could have a chance to don his new uniform.
Jan 17, 2024
Headed to Indiana
The Pacers are finalizing a deal to acquire Siakam on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The expected deal has Indiana sending Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora and three first-round picks to the Raptors, while Kira Lewis will also head to Toronto via the Pelicans, who've emerged as a third team in the deal. Siakam should benefit offensively from playing with Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) eventually, but while the All-Star point guard is out for a few weeks, Siakam could be the Pacers' go-to playmaker.
Jan 16, 2024
Shooting woes surface Monday
Siakam posted 17 points (5-15 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Monday's 105-96 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Siakam had a rough outing from the field Monday, missing all six of his three-point attempts and needing 15 shots to barely surpass the 15-point plateau. Siakam has been a consistent scoring threat for the Raptors all season long, however, so he should be able to bounce back -- possibly in the team's very next game against the Heat on Wednesday.
Jan 13, 2024
Posts 27 points in return
Siakam registered 27 points (8-14 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 145-113 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Despite all the new pieces at Toronto's disposal, Siakam turned in an old-school total in the loss. Rumors continue to swirl about Siakam's future with the team, and it's in the interest of both parties to showcase him. His numbers have dipped a bit in January, averaging 24.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists over six games.
Jan 12, 2024
Available for Friday
Siakam (back) is available for Friday's game against the Jazz, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Siakam has the green light to play with no word of any restrictions. Dennis Schroder moved into the starting lineup Wednesday with the Raptors going smaller, but he will likely move back to a bench role.
Jan 12, 2024
Upgraded to probable
Siakam (back) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game versus the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was also able to participate in the morning shootaround, so it sounds like he'll be getting the green light to return from a one-game absence. If Siakam is cleared, there could be less opportunities for Dennis Schroder and Jalen McDaniels based on the rotation the Raptors used against the Clippers on Wednesday.
Jan 12, 2024
Participates in shootaround
Siakam (back) went through shootaround ahead of Friday's game versus the Jazz, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam is officially listed as questionable for Friday's contest due to back spasms. However, the 29-year-old forward's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability against Utah.
Jan 11, 2024
Questionable for Friday
Siakam (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam missed Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to back spasms, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return Friday. If he remains out, Thaddeus Young, Chris Boucher and Jontay Porter are candidates to see increased run once again.
Jan 10, 2024
Officially ruled out
Siakam (back) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Clippers, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday due to back spasms. Thaddeus Young, Chris Boucher and Jontay Porter are candidates to receive extended minutes in his absence. Siakam's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Utah.
Jan 10, 2024
Questionable for Wednesday
Siakam is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to back spasms,Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was a late addition to the injury report which is usually a bad sign. Presumably, Siakam will warm up before a decision is made on his status. With Jakob Poeltl (ankle) already sidelined, the Raptors will need guys like Thaddeus Young, Chris Boucher and Jontay Porter to step up if Siakam is sidelined.
Jan 6, 2024
Near double-double in loss
Siakam accumulated 18 points (6-11 FG, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 135-130 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was one assist away from registering his first double-double since Dec. 27. Shams Charania of The Athletic reported before Friday's game that the Kings emerged as a serious suitor to trade for Siakam, but trade talks have stalled for the time being. Over his last 10 games, Siakam is averaging 25.7 points on 56.5 percent shooting, 5.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists over 36.4 minutes per game.
Jan 4, 2024
Efficient in win over Memphis
Siakam racked up 24 points (9-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley carried the Raptors to victory Wednesday, but Siakam's contributions can't go overlooked, as he was efficient from the field and also made his presence felt on the glass. The star big man has been playing well of late and has scored at least 20 points in his last five games, a span in which he's averaging 28.8 points per game while shooting 60.4 percent from the floor.

Lights it up from deep to lead team
Siakam notched 36 points (13-20 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 40 minutes in Monday's 124-121 win over Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Siakam led all players in Monday's contest in scoring and threes made while taking the court in a team-high minute total and securing his second straight game with 30 or more points. Siakam has connected on at least five threes in three games this year, surpassing the 35-point mark in four outings.
Dec 31, 2023
Leads all scorers Saturday
Siakam notched 35 points (14-24 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 40 minutes during Saturday's 129-127 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Siakam scored a game-high 35 points and was always there when the Raptors needed him to put up a fight down the stretch, but his efforts were not enough to complete the comeback in the fourth quarter. Siakam has been playing very well in recent weeks and is averaging 24.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game in December.
Dec 27, 2023
Double-double in Wednesday's win
Siakam recorded 22 points (9-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 132-102 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
While Scottie Barnes lined up at point guard to begin the night, it was Siakam who wound up leading the Raptors in assists as he put together just his fifth double-double of the season. The 11 dimes were a season high for the veteran forward, and through 11 games in December, Siakam is averaging 23.7 points, 6.0 boards, 5.4 assists, 0.9 threes and 0.9 steals while shooting 55.8 percent from the floor.
Dec 24, 2023
Sniffs double-double again
Siakam contributed 19 points (7-20 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Siakam didn't have his best shooting performance and needed 20 shots to score 19 points, but he also delivered decent numbers in other categories. Siakam is averaging 21.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game this season while shooting above 50 percent from the field -- the latter is a mark he hadn't achieved since the 2018-19 campaign.
Dec 23, 2023
Hits for 31 in Friday's loss
Siakam closed Friday's 121-111 loss to the 76ers with a team-high 31 points (10-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 11-12 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block over 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
No other Toronto player even delivered 20 points on the night as Siakam carried the scoring load for his club. The 29-year-old is back in All-Star form, averaging 24.4 points, 5.7 boards, 4.7 assists, 1.1 threes and 0.9 steals over nine games in December while shooting 58.4 percent from the floor, and if the struggling Raptors elect to shake up the roster before the trade deadline, Siakam is only increasing his value.
Dec 19, 2023
Efficient performance in win
Siakam ended with 27 points (11-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Monday's 114-99 victory over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Siakam took advantage of Charlotte's depleted frontcourt and nearly posted a double-double. His eight assists tied a season high, and his 27 points were his sixth-highest mark of the campaign. Siakam's offensive numbers are down slightly compared to last year, but he's playing fewer minutes per game.
Dec 9, 2023
Boosts offensively in 25-point game
Siakam posted 25 points (11-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 119-116 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Siakam shot 73.3 percent from the field while finishing second on the team in scoring to go along with a handful of rebounds in a losing effort. Siakam has scored 25 or more points in six games this season, including in two straight outings. He has paired those performances with at least five rebounds on five occurrences.
Dec 6, 2023
Drops 30 in loss
Siakam recorded 30 points (9-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 11-11 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one block over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 112-103 loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
Siakam led the Raptors in scoring for the first time since Nov. 22 and has scored 20-plus points in three straight games. He entered Wednesday's game averaging 20.0 points per game across 34.3 minutes, each of which are his lowest since the 2018-19 season as he adjusts to the expanded roles of O.G. Anunoby and Scottie Barnes. Siakam will look to build off his scoring momentum Friday against the Hornets.
Nov 30, 2023
Falls just short of double-double
Siakam ended Wednesday's 112-105 victory over Phoenix with 22 points (9-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
After failing to reach 20 points in three straight games, Siakam upped his shot volume but not his efficiency Wednesday. The 29-year-old is flailing from three-point range, shooting an appalling 9.8 percent (4-for-41) from beyond the arc over the last 12 games, but he's maintained a solid fantasy floor by averaging 22.6 points, 7.7 boards, 5.2 assists and 1.0 steals over that stretch. Siakam's career 32.1 percent three-point shooting isn't among the league's elite, but he's better than what he's shown so far, and his shot should begin to fall with more frequency at some point.
Nov 23, 2023
Paces team in scoring
Siakam ended Wednesday's 132-131 victory over Indiana with 36 points (13-24 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one block over 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam topped 30 points for the third time this season during Wednesday's matchup while also posting his third double-double of the year. The Raptors needed every bit of his contributions during the narrow victory, and he's averaged 24.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 32.3 minutes per game over his last eight appearances.
Nov 18, 2023
Drops 23 points
Siakam contributed 23 points (11-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 29 minutes during Friday's 108-105 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
This was a solid bounce-back performance for Siakam after he was held to 11 points against the Bucks on Wednesday. Overall, Siakam is definitely trending up with averages of 24.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 steals over his last five games.
Nov 16, 2023
Takes nine shots in decisive loss
Siakam posted 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one block across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
After a slow start to the season where Siakam shot just 41.2 percent from the field for 15.4 points through seven games, he put together a three-game run of 29.0 points per game on 54.5 percent. The impressive play came to an end Wednesday. Toronto lost decisively to the Bucks without Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Siakam's nine field-goal attempts were his second-lowest mark of the season. In addition to posting his lowest usage rate (25.0 percent) since 2018-19 (20.8 percent), the forward is a horrendous 1-for-22 (4.5 percent) from distance over his past six games while only making 65.6 percent of his free throws during the same stretch.
Nov 14, 2023
Monster performance in win
Siakam notched 39 points (15-24 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-14 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 38 minutes during Monday's 111-107 victory over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Siakam had been struggling massively in the first two weeks of the season, but he bounced back admirably in this one and delivered his best outing of 2023-24 thus far. While the Raptors are still trying to find their identity on offense, it's worth noting that if Siakam can return to his 2022-23 form, or something even close to it, that'd be a boost to both his fantasy value, and the Raptors' overall upside as a team.
Nov 12, 2023
Stuffs stat sheet Saturday
Siakam produced 17 points (6-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and three steals in 28 minutes during Saturday's 117-94 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Siakam had a tough matchup while dealing with one of the best defenses in the entire league, but he managed to stuff the sheet despite the 23-point loss. While this was a decent outing for Siakam, it has been an underwhelming start to the season for the star forward. He has hit the 20-point mark just three times and only has one double-double to his name after putting up 24.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game during the 2022-23 season.
Nov 9, 2023
Bounces back against Dallas
Siakam finished with 31 points (15-25 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 12 rebounds and five assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 127-116 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam posted a season-high 31 points after scoring just eight in his previous outing. The star forward also recorded his first double-double of the season. However, Siakam continues to struggle with his three-point shot, as he is shooting 29.3 percent on 5.1 attempts across his first eight appearances in 2023-24.
Nov 6, 2023
Quiet against Spurs
Siakam provided eight points (2-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 123-116 overtime victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Siakam couldn't get much going offensively, while Dennis Schroder, OG Anunoby and Scottie Barnes picked up the slack by combining for a whopping 78 points. Siakam hasn't been at his best so far this season, averaging 15.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists with minimal production in steals and blocks .
Nov 2, 2023
Leading scorer in Wednesday's win
Siakam logged 26 points (9-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and seven assists across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 130-111 victory over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old big man put together a season-high scoring effort in a surprising blowout win over one of the Eastern Conference heavyweights. Siakam's had a bumpy start to the campaign, but he may be heating up, scoring at least 20 points in back-to-back contests. Fantasy GMs are still waiting for his usual production on the defensive end, however -- through five games, Siakam has a total of just two steals and one block.
Oct 31, 2023
Struggles with shot in loss
Siakam posted 20 points (9-21 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 99-91 loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
Despite his volume-aided scoring numbers it was a rough night for Siakam, and for the Raptors as a whole from long range -- the team went just 4-for-29 on three-point attempts. The 20 points were still a season high for the veteran forward, who is averaging just 16.0 points on 39.3 percent shooting from the floor through four games. His numbers will come around, but with Scottie Barnes emerging as the Raptors' top option, Siakam's usage could take a slight step back in 2023-24.
Oct 27, 2023
Struggles from three in loss
Siakam finished Friday's 104-103 overtime loss to the Bulls with 18 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 41 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam had 12 of his 18 points in the second half, though he struggled to produce in OT as he missed both of his field goal attempts and bricked his two free throws in the loss. His 41 minutes played was the highest on the team in a night where both squads combined for 40 turnovers and struggled to score in the first half. Siakam's heavy usage Friday may impact how much time he's on the court in their back-to-back matchup against reigning MVP Joel Embiid and the 76ers Saturday.
Oct 21, 2023
Strong finish to preseason
Siakam scored 19 points (7-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT) while adding eight rebounds, three assists and a block in 26 minutes during Friday's 134-98 preseason win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old forward closed out the exhibition schedule in fine fashion after he dropped 22 points on the Bulls on Tuesday. Siakam has averaged better than 20 points, seven boards and five assists in each of the last two seasons, and his distribution skills could play an even bigger factor in the Raptors' offense in 2023-24 with Fred VanVleet in Houston.
Oct 18, 2023
Gets full workload Tuesday
Siakam posted 22 points (8-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and three steals in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 preseason win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Aside from Jakob Poeltl's (illness) absence, the Raptors had their expected starters play heavy minutes during the team's penultimate preseason contest, and Siakam led the way. He tied Scottie Barnes with a team-high 22 points and delivered solid defensive production. This is exactly the type of performance Siakam is capable of delivering on a consistent basis during the regular season.
Oct 9, 2023
Plays 20 minutes in opener
Siakam recorded eight points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block in 20 minutes during Sunday's 112-99 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Siakam struggled from deep and committed two turnovers, but he was otherwise solid during Toronto's preseason opener. With Fred VanVleet gone, Siakam is expected to take over as the Raptors' go-to player on both ends of the court. If that's the case, the veteran forward should see statistical increases across the board, but his efficiency may take a hit, which is important to monitor when playing in category leagues.
Apr 13, 2023
Eliminated despite 32-point game
Siakam notched 32 points (13-22 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-11 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal over 42 minutes during Wednesday's 109-105 play-in game loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was excellent Wednesday and was Toronto's best player through prolonged stretches, but his efforts were not enough to lift the Raptors past the Bulls in this one. The seventh-year forward ends the regular season as one of the best power forwards in The Association, averaging career highs in points (24.2) and assists (5.8) to go along with 7.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks in 37.4 minutes per game.
Apr 12, 2023
Will play Wednesday
Siakam (rest) isn't listed on the Raptors' injury report for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Siakam didn't play in Sunday's regular-season finale for rest purposes, but as expected, he'll be available for Toronto's Play-In Tournament matchup against the Bulls. Across 71 regular-season appearances, the seventh-year forward averaged career highs in points (24.2) and assists (5.8) to go along with 7.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks in 37.4 minutes per game.
Apr 8, 2023
Ruled out Sunday
Siakam is out for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to rest.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors will rest some of their stars, so Siakam is set to miss the season finale as Toronto wants to keep him at 100 percent for the Play-In matchup against the Bulls on Wednesday. Siakam ends the 2022-23 regular season averaging a career-best 24.2 points per game while also adding 7.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists per contest.
Apr 8, 2023
Leads team with 19 points
Siakam ended Friday's 121-102 loss to the Celtics with 19 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and four steals in 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was the only Toronto starter to hit more than four field-goal attempts in Friday's loss. His 19 points led the team, and he tallied four steals which was also a team high. The veteran big man has been racking up the steals lately, averaging 2.5 per game in the month of April.
Apr 6, 2023
Records double-double
Siakam supplied 28 points (10-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 97-93 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
Siakam recorded a second double-double and reached that threshold for the seventh time in his last 11 appearances, as he's fully entrenched as a reliable two-way threat for a Raptors team that continues to push for a play-in berth. One of the most versatile power forwards in the league, Siakam is averaging 24.8 points, 9.7 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game during that 11-game stretch.
Apr 2, 2023
Leading scorer in all-around outing
Siakam registered 36 points (16-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 128-108 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Siakam led all players in Sunday's game in scoring while finishing three rebounds and three assists short of a triple-double. Siakam, who was four points short of the 40-point mark, has tallied at least 35 points nine times this year.
Apr 1, 2023
Up-and-down scoring continues
Siakam racked up 14 points (5-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and seven assists in 42 minutes during Friday's 117-110 loss to Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Siakam's scoring was inconsistent in March, partially due to poor three-point shooting (25.9 percent). However, his floor remains high due to his ability to stuff the stat sheet. Closing out the month, he averaged 19.9 points, 8.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 37.7 minutes.
Mar 27, 2023
Records double-double Sunday
Siakam finished Sunday's 114-104 victory over the Wizards with 19 points (7-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam didn't have his best shooting performance Sunday after needing 17 shots to score 19 points and couldn't extend his streak of 30-point performances. However, the star big man recorded a double-double for the fifth time over his last six outings, and he continues to be an asset on both ends of the court for the Raptors. He's averaging 19.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game in March.
Mar 25, 2023
Posts back-to-back 30-point games
Siakam had 32 points (12-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-10 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 118-97 victory over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Saturday's performance marked Siakam's first set of back-to-back 30-point games since Feb. 8 and 10. Prior to this outburst, the forward had struggled in March, averaging 17.3 points but shooting just 43/29/69. He'll have another relatively soft matchup coming up Sunday against the Wizards.
Mar 23, 2023
Big double-double in loss
Siakam accumulated 31 points (11-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one block over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 118-114 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
It's the 21st double-double of the season for Siakam, but the first time he's produced 30 or more points in over a month. His March swoon has been a big factor in the Raptors threatening to slide out of the play-in tournament, and through 10 games on the month he's averaging 18.7 points, 8.3 boards, 5.7 assists, 1.0 threes and 0.9 steals.
Mar 19, 2023
Back to back double-doubles
Siakam finished Saturday's 122-107 win over the Timberwolves with 27 points (11-22 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds and six assists in 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam finished with at least 25 points, 10 rebounds and six assists for a second consecutive contest. The dynamic forward hasn't missed a game since the end of November and appears to be getting hot for the stretch run. Across eight March appearances, Siakam is averaging 17.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 0.9 steals in 37.4 minutes.
Mar 15, 2023
Approaches double-double Tuesday
Siakam ended Tuesday's 125-110 win over the Nuggets with 12 points (6-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was held under 15 points for a second consecutive game Tuesday, but he saw an uptick in rebounds during the comfortable victory. The 28-year-old has maintained plenty of playing time in March but hasn't been as sharp on the scoreboard, averaging 15.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 38.3 minutes per game over six appearances this month.
Mar 9, 2023
Reaches 20-point mark
Siakam accumulated 20 points (9-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals across 41 minutes during Wednesday's 108-100 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam had a decent night shooting the ball and managed to reach the 20-point threshold for the first time since Feb. 28. However, his scoring numbers have been down in the early stages of March, as he's averaging 16.8 points through his first four games after putting up 26.3 points per night over 11 February appearances.
Mar 2, 2023
Struggles to shoot in loss
Siakam racked up 13 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 11 rebounds, six assists and one block over 39 minutes during Thursday's 119-108 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Siakam had scored at least 20 points in eight straight games entering Thursday. But Siakam made just six shots on a disappointing scoring night. For the first time this season, he didn't attempt a free throw. However, the two-time All Star still had a productive night. He has grabbed eight or more rebounds in three straight games. He matched his season average with six assists and even swatted a shot. Siakam will have better offensive games, and he will get another shot at Washington on Saturday.
Feb 28, 2023
Top scorer in near double-double
Siakam accumulated 20 points (7-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 104-98 win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Siakam led the Raptors in scoring and rebounds while finishing two boards shy of a double-double performance in Tuesday's win. Siakam has posted at least 20 points and eight rebounds in three straight contests.
Feb 26, 2023
Continues to shoot well from three
Siakam chipped in 25 points (10-24 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and five assists over 33 minutes during Sunday's 118-93 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has been a scoring machine for the Raptors, as he has at least 25 points in seven straight games. His three-point shooting has been excellent during this streak, with a 54.8 percent mark. Unfortunately, the All-Star forward made just six of his 17 two pointers. Plus, he tied a season low with just one free-throw attempt, to prevent a monster offensive output. The Raptors' leading scorer has yet to score less than 10 points in a game this season and should continue to provide consistent scoring the rest of the way.
Feb 26, 2023
Drops 29 points in win
Siakam had 29 points (9-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 10-13 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 95-91 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Siakam turned in a strong scoring performance by getting to the charity stripe with ease. He also impressed on the defensive end by swatting away a pair of shots and registering three steals. Siakam is now averaging 30.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals over his last six games.
Feb 12, 2023
Strong showing in Sunday's win
Siakam supplied 28 points (10-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 38 minutes during Sunday's 119-118 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
With OG Anunoby (wrist) still sidelined and Gary Trent (calf) unavailable, the Raptors went with a big starting lineup that featured Jakob Poeltl at center and three forwards, but the shift didn't slow down Siakam. The 28-year-old has scored more than 20 points in five of six games in February, missing in the sixth game by a single point, and on the month so far he's averaging 27.2 points, 7.0 boards, 5.2 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.2 steals.
Feb 11, 2023
Drops 35 points in loss
Siakam finished with 35 points (12-21 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals over 39 minutes during Friday's 122-116 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was one of the most frequently mentioned names on the rumor mill leading up to the deadline, but the Raptors held on tight and added some reinforcements up front in Jakob Poeltl. Siakam's role on the Raptors remains unchanged, and that's totally fine with his fantasy managers. In his previous 15 games, Siakam put up 23.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.5 assists.
Feb 9, 2023
Big double-double against Spurs
Siakam chipped in 37 points (15-21 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 112-98 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
It was the 28-year-old's best scoring performance since he erupts for 52 against the Knicks on Dec. 21. Siakam hasn't scored less than 19 in any of the last 10 games, averaging 24.3 points, 7.2 boards, 5.2 assists and 1.4 threes over that stretch, but his role and production could be impacted with the Raptors having traded for Jakob Poeltl after Wednesday's win -- Siakam has primarily played center this season, but it seems unlikely Toronto will have Poeltl come off the bench given the price the team paid to repatriate him.
Feb 6, 2023
Scores 19 points with 17 shots
Siakam contributed 19 points (7-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 106-103 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Siakam didn't have his best shooting performance, but he still delivered a decent fantasy performance after putting up solid stats in other categories and scoring at least 19 points for the ninth straight contest. It remains to be seen if the Raptors will part ways with Siakam before the trade deadline, and a potential change of scenery would definitively impact his fantasy value, but as of now, he remains Toronto's best fantasy asset. He's averaging 22.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 0.7 blocks per game since the start of January.
Feb 2, 2023
Comes alive after rough start
Siakam fouled out of Wednesday's 131-128 loss to the Jazz after recording 21 points (9-22 FG, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists over 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam couldn't buy a bucket in the first quarter, going 0-of-6 from the field while adding four boards and two assists. He found his groove from the second quarter on, knocking down nine of 16 shots for 19 points over that stretch as the Raptors dropped their second straight game on the road. Siakam was one of three Toronto players to finish with double-digit rebounds on the night and he trailed only Fred VanVleet for the team lead in assists with five. The power forward has now scored 20 or more points in eight of his last 10 games, though he did foul out of Wednesday's contest for the fifth time this season.
Jan 31, 2023
Struggles with efficiency again
Siakam racked up 19 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 38 minutes during Monday's 114-106 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Siakam hasn't shot over 50 percent from the field in five straight games, but he's still been able to supply quality production during that stretch, posting 22.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 37.2 minutes. The efficiency struggles are certainly concerning, but the veteran forward is in no danger of losing his role as the Raptors' go-to playmaker anytime soon.
Jan 26, 2023
Records robust stat line Wednesday
Siakam racked up 26 points (11-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 113-95 win over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Siakam put his well-rounded skill set on full display against the Kings, leading his team in points and boards while finishing second in assists. The talented center also registered a pair each of steals and blocks, marking just the third time this season he's posted more than one of each stat in a game. Through 13 contests in January, Siakam is averaging 22.7 points, 8.1 boards, 6.3 dimes, 1.2 three-pointers and 1.0 blocks while playing a hearty 38.8 minutes per game.
Jan 22, 2023
Leads scoring effort
Siakam logged 29 points (14-23 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and one block across 43 minutes during Saturday's 106-104 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Siakam put up a game-high 29 points and wasn't shy on the offensive end. He attempted his most shots from the field since Dec. 27, and he also missed a triple-double by one rebound. Siakam has now reached the 20-point threshold in three of his last four games.
Jan 20, 2023
Shooting woes continue Thursday
Siakam finished Thursday's 128-126 loss to the Timberwolves with 13 points (6-16 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists and one block in 41 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam struggled from the field in the loss, shooting under 38 percent for the third time in his past four games. Despite being a top 50 player this season, he is outside the top 150 over the past two weeks. The Raptors continue to play their starters' heavy minutes, something that could catch up with them at some point. Siakam should turn things around sooner rather than later, although perhaps this is a bit of a buy-low opportunity for anyone interested.
Jan 16, 2023
Secures impressive final line
Siakam produced 20 points (7-19 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and three blocks in 46 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 123-121 overtime win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam did it all in Monday's victory, as he flirted with a triple-double and protected the rim by swatting away three shots. He's now recorded a block in three straight matchups, and he's scored 20 or more points in four of his last five.
Jan 15, 2023
Struggles in loss
Siakam supplied 15 points (5-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one block across 34 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 114-103 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam didn't look like himself from the field in this one, knocking down only 31.3 percent of his attempts while going 0-for-4 from downtown. He'd been making 47.4 percent of his field-goal attempts and 43.5 percent of his attempts from deep through his first six appearances in January, so this performance seems to be a one-off for the New Mexico State product.
Jan 13, 2023
Paces Raptors in scoring
Siakam racked up 35 points (11-13 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 10-12 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 38 minutes during Thursday's 124-114 victory over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has had a particularly dominant stretch on the scoreboard recently, as he's scored at least 25 points in 11 of the last 13 matchups, and he's posted three double-doubles during that time. He fell three rebounds short of a double-double Thursday but led the Raptors on the scoreboard during the victory. Over his last 13 appearances, the 28-year-old has averaged 28.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 39.9 minutes per game.
Jan 11, 2023
Strikes for 28 in Tuesday's win
Siakam finished Tuesday's 132-120 victory over the Hornets with a team-high 28 points (10-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-9 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists over 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors' offense woke up in this one, with Siakam, OG Anunoby and Gary Trent all delivering more than 20 points and the team as a whole shooting 45.5 percent from three-point range. Siakam at least has been rolling for longer than just one night, scoring at least 25 in 10 of his last 12 games and averaging 28.3 points, 8.1 boards, 5.9 assists and 1.6 threes over that stretch.
Jan 8, 2023
Top scorer in all-around outing
Siakam closed Sunday's 117-105 win over Portland with 27 points (8-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-11 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam led Portland in scoring while finishing three points short of the 30-point mark. Siakam has posted at least 25 points in 16 games this year, including in three of his last five outings.
Jan 7, 2023
Double-doubles in loss
Siakam had 18 points (4-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 13 rebounds and five assists over 40 minutes during Friday's 112-108 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam seems to have taken a step back offensively, given the emergence of Fred VanVleet and Gary Trent as one of the most dynamic offensive backcourts in the Eastern Conference in recent weeks, but the star big man continues to make an impact and remains a valuable asset in fantasy even when he has off nights such as Friday's. He's averaging 28.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game across his last 10 appearances.
Jan 5, 2023
Struggles from field in loss
Siakam had 11 points (4-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 104-101 overtime loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam had one of his worst shooting performances in recent memory, which also means he snapped his run of games with at least 25 points at eight contests. This might have been nothing more than an off night for the star forward, however, as he's averaging 27.2 points per game while shooting 47 percent from the floor since the beginning of December.
Jan 3, 2023
Hits for 26 in Monday's loss
Siakam contributed 26 points (9-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists across 39 minutes during Monday's 122-114 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old forward remains locked in, scoring 25 or more points for the eighth straight game. Siakam is averaging 32.0 points, 8.0 boards, 6.1 assists, 1.8 threes and 0.9 steals over that stretch while shooting 50.3 percent from the floor, and if he can stay healthy he's making a strong push for his second All-Star appearance.
Dec 31, 2022
Puts up 26 in victory
Siakam supplied 26 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), two rebounds and six assists in 41 minutes during Friday's 113-104 victory over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Siakam continues to thrive on offense for the Raptors, and while Gary Trent led the way Friday with his 35-point explosion, Siakam had a strong game as well and managed to extend his streak of games with at least 25 points to seven outings. The star big man is averaging 32.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game while shooting 50 percent from the field and 35.3 percent from deep during that seven-game stretch.
Dec 30, 2022
Double-doubles, fouls out
Siakam fouled out of Thursday's 119-106 loss to Memphis after recording 25 points (8-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam reached the 25-point mark for the sixth game in a row and also recorded his second double-double in that span, so he delivered another excellent fantasy outing despite the fact that he fouled out in the fourth quarter. Siakam has been one of the best players in the Eastern Conference this month and is averaging 28.5 points, 8.1 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game across 14 December outings.
Dec 28, 2022
Explodes for 36 points
Siakam finished with 36 points (13-24 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 10-15 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes during Tuesday's 124-113 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has been on a tear of late, and the star big man has eclipsed the 30-point plateau in three of his last four games while surpassing the 25-point mark in each of his last five appearances. One of the most productive power forwards in The Association, Siakam's ability to impact the game on both ends of the count makes him a valuable fantasy asset as well. He's averaging 28.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 48.7 percent from the field across 13 December appearances.
Dec 23, 2022
Strong all-around game in win
Siakam finished with 26 points (9-22 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 42 minutes during Friday's 118-107 victory over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
While Siakam didn't shoot particularly well Friday, he made up for it with a strong all-around performance. He's hoisted up at least 20 shots in seven of his last 10 games and is averaging 28.8 points per game while making 47.4 percent of his shots in that span. He's averaging 6.9 assists through 23 appearances -- the most of his career by 1.6 assists per game.
Dec 22, 2022
Pours in career-high 52
Siakam finished with a career-high 52 points (17-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 16-18 FT) to go with nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 41 minutes in Wednesday's 113-106 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam carried the load for Toronto and helped the Raptors snap a six-game losing streak while also ending the Knicks' eight-game winning streak in the process. The production in the counting categories would have been satisfying enough for fantasy managers, but the fact that Siakam achieved his production on elite shooting from the field and the free-throw line was an added bonus. He's now shooting 78.4 percent from the charity stripe on eight attempts per game on the season, making him more of a neutral contributor in that category after he shot 74.9 percent on 5.6 attempts per contest in 2021-22.
Dec 20, 2022
Huge double-double in OT loss
Siakam finished with 38 points (13-27 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 48 minutes during Monday's 104-101 overtime loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The 38 points and 15 boards were both season highs for Siakam, who was nearly single-handedly responsible for Toronto even getting to OT as none of his teammates managed more than 13 points. The 28-year-old is averaging a strong 26.0 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.5 threes and 1.0 steals through 10 games in December.
Dec 19, 2022
Puts up 27 points in loss
Siakam chipped in 27 points (9-20 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and six assists in 37 minutes during Sunday's 126-110 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Siakam didn't have his best shooting performance, but he still delivered a strong stat line thanks to his contributions on the glass and as a playmaker. One of the most versatile big men in The Association, Siakam has been outstanding since returning from a 10-game absence in late November. Since then, the forward is averaging 23.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 35.5 minutes per game in 11 contests.
Dec 16, 2022
Decent all-around effort
Siakam ended with 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 119-116 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The scoring figures are not in line with what Siakam has been producing this season, but he seems to be trending in the wrong direction after putting three straight contests with less than 20 points. The versatile big man is still having an excellent season, however, as he's currently posting career-best marks in both points and assists per game.
Dec 15, 2022
Scores 19 with 19 shots
Siakam closed Wednesday's 124-123 loss to the Kings with 19 points (7-19 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds and six assists over 43 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam went on a tear and scored 20-plus points in six straight games between Nov. 30 and Dec. 9, but he's failed to reach that threshold in each of his last two games. That should be nothing more than a bump on the road for the star forward, however, who remains the best player -- both in fantasy and real life -- for the Raptors this season. Siakam is averaging 25.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game across seven December games.
Dec 10, 2022
Nears triple-double Friday
Siakam had 36 points (13-27 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 113-109 loss to Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was dynamic despite the loss, flirting with a triple-double for the fourth consecutive game. It's been a stellar campaign thus far for Siakam, putting up top-20 value for the season. While his production has been exemplary across the board, his assist numbers have been arguably the highlight, averaging a career-high 7.1 per game. Given that the Raptors are pushing for a high playoff seed, Siakam should be locked in for what could be a career year.
Dec 7, 2022
First double-double of December
Siakam registered 25 points (10-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 126-113 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam turned in a strong all-around showing, registering his first double-double of the month and his second in six games. The forward continues to serve as one of Toronto's top options on the offensive end, putting up between 15-to-20 shot attempts on a nightly basis. Siakam is averaging 24.5 points, 8.9 rebounds and 7.1 assists through 15 contests.
Dec 6, 2022
Strong all-around performance
Siakam notched 29 points (9-20 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-13 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists across 39 minutes during Monday's 116-110 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Siakam came quite close to securing what would've been his third double-double over his last five appearances since returning to action. Still, even if he didn't accomplish that feat, the star big man didn't miss a step despite being out for more than three weeks due to a groin injury. He's scored at least 20 points in four games in a row and is averaging 24.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.2 steals per game during that five-game streak.
Dec 3, 2022
Paces scoring effort
Siakam supplied 24 points (7-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 9-11 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 114-105 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was able to get to the charity stripe with ease in this one and ended the night with the team scoring lead. He continues to serve as one of Toronto's top options on the offensive end, averaging 22.7 points over his last six matchups.
Dec 1, 2022
Scores 23 points in loss
Siakam notched 23 points (9-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 126-108 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was aggressive shooting the ball early, going 5-of-8 from the field with 11 points in the first quarter as Toronto struggled to keep pace with the Pelicans. He took only two shots in the second quarter, missing both, before going 4-of-6 from the field in the second half for another 11 points to go along with four rebounds and three assists. The Raptors power forward has scored 20 or more points in all but two games this season and also recorded two blocks in Wednesday's contest for just the third time in his 2022-2023 campaign.
Nov 28, 2022
Returns with all-around showing
Siakam finished Monday's 100-88 victory over the Cavaliers with 18 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists across 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam (adductor) returned for the first time since Nov. 4 against Dallas, finishing with an all-around outing while recording a double-double in points and rebounds. Siakam has now scored 15 or more points with five or more rebounds and assists in nine straight games.
Nov 28, 2022
Cleared to play with restrictions
Siakam (adductor) will be available for Monday's game against the Cavs, though he'll likely face an unspecified minutes restriction, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
While the minutes limit may put a short-term cap on Siakam's fantasy upside, his return to the lineup is a welcomed sight for managers who've been holding him in an IR spot for the last few weeks. Siakam last played on Nov. 4 at Dallas, so Monday's game will end a string of 10 consecutive absences. Prior to the injury, Siakam was off to a fantastic start, averaging 24.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.5 blocks/steals per game through nine appearances.
Nov 28, 2022
Now listed as probable
Siakam (adductor) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's matchup against the Cavaliers, Danny Cunningham of 850 ESPN Cleveland reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam hasn't placed since Nov. 4 due to a right adductor strain, but he's appears on track to return Monday. The star forward may be limited during his first game action in nearly a month, but he'll likely still reclaim a spot in the starting five. Over his first nine appearances of the campaign (all starts), Siakam posted 24.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 7.7 assists in 35.7 minutes per game.
Nov 27, 2022
Receives questionable tag
Siakam (adductor) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After practicing Sunday for the second time in three days, Siakam looks like he'll have a chance to make it back for the start of the Raptors' four-game week. The Raptors will presumably re-evaluate Siakam following Monday's morning shootaround before updating his status, but if he can't make it back for the game against the Cavaliers, he should have good odds of suiting up Wednesday in New Orleans. Siakam has missed the last 10 games with a right adductor strain.
Nov 27, 2022
Inching closer to return
Siakam (groin) has a chance to play Monday against Cleveland, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam practiced again Sunday but said he'll leave the decision to return to game action up to the medical staff. The star forward hasn't played since Nov. 4 due to a groin injury, so even when he's available, he'll likely be worked back to full speed slowly. If Siakam remains out Monday, his next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against New Orleans.
Nov 25, 2022
Cleared for contact
Siakam (groin) has been cleared for contact in practice but is out for Saturday's game against Dallas, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was a full participant in Friday's practice and is targeting next week for his return. Siakam has missed the last nine games due to a groin strain.
Nov 22, 2022
Targeting return next week
The Raptors hope to have Siakam (groin) back in the fold sometime next week, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam appears to be progressing toward a return after suffering a grown injury early in November. Siakam's expected to be re-evaluated next week, at which point there should be a better feel for when the star big man can retake the floor.
Nov 18, 2022
Out at least another week
Siakam (groin) has resumed on-court activities and will be re-evaluated in approximately a week, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has already missed seven games due to a Grade-2 adductor strain. Thaddeus Young and Juancho Hernangomez should continue to see extended minutes in Siakam's absence.
Nov 6, 2022
Out for at least two weeks
Siakam will be re-evaluated in two weeks after being diagnosed with a right adductor strain, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
After suffering a strained groin during Friday's loss to the Mavericks, the team doctors have concluded that the injury is somewhat serious which will keep him sidelined for multiple weeks. With the All-Star forward out of the lineup, expect Otto Porter, Christian Koloko, and Chris Boucher to usurp his minutes. His best chance to return will be on Nov. 23 against Brooklyn.
Nov 5, 2022
Doubtful vs. Bulls
Siakam (groin) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam is expected to miss his first game of the season after suffering a strained groin during Friday's loss to the Mavericks. Fred VanVleet (back) is questionable, so the Raptors could be down two key playmakers. If one or both are absent, more minutes could be in store for Otto Porter, Christian Koloko, Chris Boucher and other players across the roster.
Nov 5, 2022
Night cut short
Siakam (groin) amassed 18 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 111-110 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam (groin) was being relatively contained by Dallas prior to leaving Friday's contest due to injury. He entered the outing averaging 25.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 7.9 assists in 36.1 minutes per night. The Raptors next take the court Sunday, with Siakam's availability a notable storyline.
Nov 4, 2022
Will not return
Siakam strained his groin in Friday's matchup with the Mavericks and will not return, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam accumulated 18 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 3PT, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds six assists and one steal across 31 minutes before exiting the contest. His availability for Sunday's game against the Bulls is uncertain, but some combination of Precious Achiuwa, Chris Boucher and Christian Koloko would be th prime beneficiaries if he ultimately misses some time.
Nov 3, 2022
Posts triple-double in victory
Siakam tallied 22 points (10-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 assists, 10 rebounds and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 143-100 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Siakam's numbers could have been even more staggering had the game not been a blowout. Wednesday marked Siakam's second triple-double of the season in just eight games. The all-star forward is averaging 25.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 0.9 steals in 36.1 minutes and is showing no signs of slowing down.
Nov 1, 2022
Steps up with huge double-double
Siakam generated 31 points (8-21 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 13-16 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 35 minutes Monday in the Raptors' 139-109 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam only noticed a slight bump in usage (32.7 percent) from his season-long rate (30.4 percent) with Fred VanVleet (back) out of the lineup, but that was enough for the seventh-year big man to deliver one of his better all-around lines of the young campaign. The 31 points were his second-best total of the season and were fueled by uncharacteristically strong shooting from the free-throw line for Siakam, who had been shooting 69.6 percent from the charity stripe heading into Monday's game. According to Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca, VanVleet is being listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game in San Antonio, so Siakam could be in store for another turn as Toronto's clear go-to option on offense.
Oct 29, 2022
Another double-double
Siakam recorded 26 points (9-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds and six assists over 36 minutes during Friday's 112-90 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has been Toronto's best player this season by a wide margin, and aside from being a reliable scoring threat, he's also putting up solid figures in other categories to be considered a reliable all-around threat. Scoring figures aside, this was Siakam's third double-double of the season, and he's averaging 25.3 points, 9.2 rebounds and 7.7 assists per contest.
Oct 26, 2022
Shines as playmaker
Siakam contributed 20 points (7-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds and 13 assists over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
While Siakam is one of the best passing big men in the league, he's known for his scoring prowess and ability on the glass, not so much for being a passer that can hand out double-digit dimes. With that being said, this is his second game with 10-plus assists in just five appearances this season, and a consistent uptick in this department would solidify his case even more to become a fantasy stud -- if he isn't already one. He's averaging 25.2 points, 9.0 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game to start the season.
Oct 25, 2022
Fills stat sheet Monday
Siakam recorded 23 points (7-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals across 42 minutes during Monday's 98-90 win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
One of the most versatile and productive big men in the league, Siakam's ability to contribute in several categories was on full display here as he recorded multiple tallies in all six major categories while also ending just one rebound short of a double-double, and four assists shy of what would've been a triple-double. Siakam has fallen just short of reaching that feat in the last two games and kicked off the campaign with a double-double and a triple-double in the opening two contests, so there's no question he's been an absolute stud to begin the season in most fantasy formats.
Oct 23, 2022
Teases triple-double Saturday
Siakam posted 23 points (8-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes during Saturday's 112-109 loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
After going off with a massive 37-12-11 line Friday, Siakam nearly notched a second straight triple-double one day later, falling one assist and two boards short. The star big man also contributed a steal and a block on the defensive end while turning the ball over just once. Siakam was generally taken in the third round of fantasy drafts this season, but he's playing like a first-rounder thus far, averaging 27.7 points, 10.3 boards, 7.0 dimes and 1.3 steals through three games.
Oct 21, 2022
Triple-double in loss to Nets
Siakam ended with 37 points (15-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 12 rebounds and 11 assists across 37 minutes during Friday's 109-105 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old put together an incredible night in Brooklyn en route to his fourth career triple-double, but Toronto got only nine total points from its bench and Siakam's efforts were wasted. He vowed in the offseason to become a top-five player in the NBA, and so far through two games this season he's off to an excellent start toward that goal.
Oct 19, 2022
Big double-double against Cavs
Siakam chipped in 23 points (9-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and three steals across 34 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 108-105 win over Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old led the Raptors in scoring and rebounding on the night in a strong start to the campaign. Siakam could have had an even better line, but his teammates had trouble cashing in his passes. Expect his assist total to rise as the team's offense gets into a rhythm, especially after Siakam set a career high with 5.3 assists a game last season.
Oct 14, 2022
Sitting out Friday
Siakam (rest) will not play in Friday's preseason game against the Celtics, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam is not expected to miss any regular season action after sitting out Friday's game. The 28-year-old forward led the Raptors in points and rebounds last season and should provide similar production this season.

Scores 18 points in loss
Siakam compiled 18 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block in 27 minutes in a 115-98 loss Sunday against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Siakam's offense was more quantity than quality Sunday as he missed 10 shots and three free throws. His nine rebounds and two assists were both preseason highs. Typically a good free-throw shooter, he has struggled from the charity stripe in the early going, making just nine of his 18 attempts. The 28-year-old has averaged 22.4 points over the last three seasons and is likely to find his way offensively soon.

Totals 13 points in preseason win
Siakam scored 13 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and added six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes Wednesday in a 125-119 win over Boston.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was one of a trio of Raptors to tie for the team lead with 13 points. He upped his playing time by seven minutes over the preseason opener as he gears up for another season as a focal point of Toronto's offense. Siakam led the team with 22.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game last season and added a career-high 5.3 assists per contest.

Stuffs stat sheet Sunday
Siakam had nine points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and a steal across 16 minutes in Sunday's 114-82 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
The stat line doesn't look surprising and the shooting figures were below average, but that's still a solid performance given he played less than half of the game. No Toronto starter scored in double digits here, but Siakam shouldn't have problems reaching that threshold on a regular basis once the season starts. He projects to operate as Toronto's go-to player on offense as long as he remains healthy.

Strong showing in Game 6
Siakam fouled out of Thursday's 132-97 loss to the 76ers after recording 24 points (9-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 44 minutes.
ANALYSIS
It was another big performance by Siakam as he tried to keep the Raptors' season alive, but the team's defense couldn't slow down the Sixers. The 28-year-old averaged 22.8 points, 7.2 boards, 5.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks over six games in the first round, and he'll remain a key piece for the Raptors next season as they look to return to the top of the Eastern Conference.
Apr 26, 2022
Near triple-double in win
Siakam put up 23 points (10-17 FG, 2-4 3PT, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and seven assists in the 103-88 win over Philadelphia on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was Toronto's leading scorer for the third time this series. The sixth-year forward has put up 27.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.6 blocks on 53.7 percent shooting from the field in those contests.
Apr 23, 2022
Erupts for 34 to avoid elimination
Siakam amassed 34 points (10-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 13-15 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 44 minutes during Saturday's 110-102 victory over Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors were staring at the possibility of getting swept out of the playoffs, but Siakam made sure that didn't happen with a huge scoring effort. The 28-year-old big is averaging 22.5 points, 6.5 boards, 5.3 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals so far in the first round, but Siakam will likely need to be in top form again Monday for Game 5 if Toronto is going to stay alive.
Apr 19, 2022
Double-double in loss
Siakam finished with 20 points (7-20 FG, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal in the 112-97 loss to Philadelphia on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Siakam extended his streak of 20-plus points to six straight games including 19 of his last 22. Toronto will need to continue relying on the sixth-year forward offensively as Gary Trent Jr. (non-COVID illness) and Scottie Barnes (ankle) nurse their injuries.
Apr 17, 2022
Team-high 24 in Game 1 loss
Siakam totaled 24 points (9-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and three blocks across 40 minutes during Saturday's 131-111 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors were running a very short rotation by the end of the game with Scottie Barnes (foot). Thaddeus Young (thumb) and Khem Birch (face) all picking up injuries, but Siakam remained a steady presence in the lineup. He's scored at least 24 points in five straight games, averaging 30.0 points, 9.2 boards, 7.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks over that stretch, and Toronto will continue leaning heavily on the 28-year-old as they try to come back from the early series deficit.
Apr 10, 2022
Will rest Sunday
Siakam will be rested for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Aaron Rose of Sports Illustrated reports.
ANALYSIS
Both Siakam and Fred VanVleet will be held out of action as the Raptors wind down the regular season with what's essentially a meaningless matchup. Toronto is locked into the No. 5 seed in the East and will face either Boston or Philadelphia in Round 1.
Apr 9, 2022
Sniffs triple-double in win
Siakam accumulated 29 points (12-24 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals across 40 minutes during Friday's 117-115 victory over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Another game, another outing in which Siakam looks unstoppable and dominant on both ends of the court. While he couldn't match up the 37-point triple-double he posted against the 76ers on April 7, it's worth noting that Siakam has recorded two triple-doubles and four double-doubles across his last seven games. He's averaging 27.7 points, 11.1 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game over that seven-game stretch.
Apr 7, 2022
37-point triple-double
Siakam amassed 37 points (14-28 FG, 1-7 3PT, 8-10 FT), 12 assists, 11 rebounds and two steals in a 119-114 win over Philadelphia on Thursday.
ANALYSIS

Apr 5, 2022
Continues stuffing stat sheet
Siakam produced 31 points (12-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 118-108 victory over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Siakam is in the midst of a career year and is putting up gaudy numbers seemingly night after night down the stretch. Since March 3, he's averaging 26.0 points on 18.7 shots, 8.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 39.2 minutes. Tuesday's effort also marked his 28th double-double on the year.
Apr 4, 2022
Near double-double in loss
Siakam finished with 29 points (11-18 FG, 1-3 3PT, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals in a 114-109 loss to Miami on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
After two straight disappointing offensive performances, Siakam bounced back to lead Miami in points while shooting over 60 percent from the field. The sixth-year forward has seen 173 minutes of action in his last four games, putting up 24.3 points, 10,5 rebounds and 5.5 assists in those contests.
Mar 31, 2022
Dishes out career-high 13 dimes
Siakam produced 12 points (5-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, 13 assists, one block and one steal in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 125-102 victory over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Siakam followed up his season-high 40 points against the Celtics on Monday with a career-high 13 assists and his first triple-double of the season. The 2016 first-round pick continues to evolve into one of the best all-around players in the game, which should bode well for any fantasy managers who have invested heavily into the talented forward. Over his last six games, Siakam has averaged 26.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 37.3 minutes per game.
Mar 29, 2022
Posts season-high 40 points
Siakam had 40 points (17-29 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals over 47 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 115-112 overtime victory over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Siakam logged 47 minutes on the floor and provided most of the offensive muscle for the Raptors. He also led the team in rebounds. Thanks to Toronto's tight rotation, Siakam will continue to enjoy massive usage and productivity.
Mar 27, 2022
Does it all in win
Siakam registered 23 points (10-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 131-91 win over Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Siakam registered his most steals since Feb. 28 and finished with at least 20 points, six rebounds and six assists for just the second time during his last 14 appearances. During that stretch, he's averaged 25.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 37.8 minutes per game.
Mar 25, 2022

ANALYSIS
The 35 points tied his season high, while the six made three-pointers tied his career-best mark. Siakam has been in peak form down the stretch as the Raptors try to climb out of the play-in tournament and into a guaranteed playoff spot, averaging 26.8 points, 7.7 boards, 4.8 assists and 1.8 threes over the last 12 games.
Mar 17, 2022
Registers big double-double in win
Siakam registered 31 points (13-22 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 103-100 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam led Toronto in both scoring and rebounding in the contest, finishing with his second straight double-double and 23rd overall this season. The star forward did much of his damage in the third quarter, when he went off for 14 points and six boards. Siakam is hitting his stride at the ideal time for his fantasy managers, scoring 20-plus points in each of his past eight games and averaging 27.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.0 steals over that stretch.
Mar 15, 2022
Produces double-double in win
Siakam logged 27 points (9-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 114-103 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam continued his recent run of strong play, finishing with 20-plus points for the seventh straight game. The big man also grabbed 11 boards en route to his 22nd double-double of the campaign. Siakam is averaging 23.2 points, 8.4 boards, 5.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.2 three-pointers since the start of February.
Mar 13, 2022
Big night in Denver

ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old continues to come up big for the Raptors. Siakam has scored at least 20 points in six straight games, averaging 27.3 points, 7.2 boards, 4.7 assists, 1.5 threes and 1.0 steals over that stretch as Toronto tries to climb out of the play-in tournament and lock up a playoff spot.
Mar 12, 2022
Drops 10 dimes in win
Siakam finished with 25 points (10-24 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 assists, seven rebounds and one steal across 41 minutes Friday in the Raptors' 117-112 win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Though he failed to hit at least half of his shots from the field for the third game in a row, Siakam relied on heavy volume to extend his streak of 20-plus-point outings to five. While Siakam's season-long percentages from the field (48.1 percent) and the free-throw line (74 percent) lag behind most starting big men in the league, he's been an excellent fantasy option thanks largely to his ability to put up stats in a variety of ways. On a night where he finished below his season averages in rebounds, steals and blocks, Siakam salved his line by posting his most assists since Jan. 25.
Mar 10, 2022
Flirts with double-double
Siakam finished with 20 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 119-104 victory over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Siakam ended just two boards shy of delivering what would've been his 18th double-double of the campaign. He has been scoring at a strong clip of late and has registered at least 20 points in each of his last four contests, though he only has one double-double to show for in that span.
Mar 5, 2022
Strong double-double in loss
Siakam recorded 34 points (13-20 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 14 rebounds and two assists across 40 minutes during Friday's 103-97 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Siakam had been limited to single-digit boards in each of his last three appearances, but he bounced back Friday en route to his second double-double in the last five games. Across those five appearances, he's averaged 20.4 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 37.0 minutes per game. While Siakam's fantasy upside has been limited by his inconsistency on the boards, he's maintained a relatively solid floor due to his well-rounded production.
Mar 1, 2022
Improved effort in narrow win
Siakam accumulated 18 points (7-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal in 35 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 109-108 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Siakam got things back on track, at least to some degree, with a reasonably strong performance Tuesday. After rolling out one of the best stretches of his career to end the month of January, Siakam has seen his offensive game suffer since returning from the All-Star break. Luckily for fantasy managers, he is usually able to compensate by delivering on the defensive end of the floor. As soon as he figures out a way to combine his talents, he should go back to being an elite fantasy asset once again.
Feb 26, 2022
Will play Saturday
Siakam (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam still isn't feeling 100 percent due to flu-like symptoms that caused him to land on the injury report, but it appears that he feels good enough to play Saturday against Atlanta. The 27-year-old is averaging 21.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.3 steals in 37.6 minutes per game this season.
Feb 26, 2022
Questionable against Atlanta
Siakam is questionable for Saturday's game against Atlanta due to a non-COVID illness, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam served in his usual starting role during Friday's loss to Charlotte, and he logged eight points, three rebounds, two assists and a steal in 27 minutes. If he's unavailable for the second half of the back-to-back set, Precious Achiuwa, Khem Birch and Thaddeus Young should see increased roles.
Feb 17, 2022
Sniffs triple-double in win
Siakam finished Wednesday's 103-91 victory over the Timberwolves with 17 points (7-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 41 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam didn't have his best shooting output, but he ended just one rebound and away assist away from recording what would've been his first triple-double of the campaign. The ability to contribute at both ends has always been there for Siakam, though, and he's averaging 25.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game over his last nine appearances.
Feb 15, 2022
Struggles with shot in loss
Siakam recorded 18 points (7-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 33 minutes during Monday's 120-90 loss to New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Siakam might have ended with a decent stat line, but he delivered a woeful shooting performance and ended with more field-goal attempts than points scored. The star big man ended a streak of six games with at least 20 points, a span in which he also recorded four double-doubles.
Feb 13, 2022
Continues to dominate
Siakam finished Saturday's 110-109 loss to the Nuggets with 35 points (16-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 42 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam scored 30-plus points for a second consecutive game and grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds en route to his sixth double-double over his last nine games. During that stretch, he's averaged 26.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks in 41.7 minutes. Siakam will look to maintain his stellar play Monday against the Pelicans.
Feb 11, 2022
Domination continues
Siakam produced 30 points (13-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 139-120 victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Siakam missed the first 10 games of the season and was ramped up slowly, but he is nonetheless returning top-five value in fantasy production per game at the power forward position. Siakam ranks as a top-20 scorer in the league and falls within the top-40 for player efficiency rating. He's averaging a career-high 5.2 assister per game to boot.
Feb 10, 2022
Grabs 16 boards in win
Siakam posted 27 points (13-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 16 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes during Wednesday's victory over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS

Feb 8, 2022
Near triple-double in win

ANALYSIS
Siakam scored at least 20 points for the fifth time over his last six games and registered his fourth double-double during that stretch. Since the beginning of January, he's averaged 22.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.9 steals in 40.5 minutes per game. Siakam will look to continue his strong play during Toronto's upcoming back-to-back that starts Wednesday in Oklahoma City.
Feb 5, 2022
Excellent scoring effort
Siakam accumulated 33 points (11-16 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds and four assists across 40 minutes during Friday's 125-114 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam only missed five of his 16 field goals en route to one of his best scoring performances of the campaign -- this was the first time he surpassed the 30-point mark since scoring 33 points on Jan. 5 against the Bucks. Siakam has scored 20-plus points in four of his last five games while recording three double-doubles in that stretch.
Feb 2, 2022
Double-doubles in win
Siakam amassed 16 points (5-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and three steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was inefficient from the field but was still able to score 16 points and added a team-high 14 rebounds en route to his second double-double in his last three contests. He also recorded multiple steals four the fourth straight game. Over his last 19 games, the star forward has averaged 22.6 points, 9.3 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 2.0 steals in 40.3 minutes. He'll look to continue his superb play against the Bulls on Thursday.
Feb 1, 2022
All-around performance in win

ANALYSIS
Siakam scored 20-plus points for the sixth time in his last seven games. During that stretch, the star forward has averaged 21.6 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.1 blocks in 42.7 minutes per game, which includes a 57-minute outing during a triple-overtime victory over Miami. Siakam will look to continue his strong play during the Raptors' upcoming three-game home stand that features three potential playoff squads.
Jan 30, 2022
Huge night in triple overtime win
Siakam produced 21 points (7-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists, four blocks and four steals across 57 minutes during Saturday's 124-120 triple-overtime victory over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was a man possessed on the defensive end of the floor Saturday, racking up a combined eight steals and blocks. It was yet another spectacular performance by Siakam who is beginning to look like the player we saw during his breakout campaign a couple of years ago. He was typically available at a discount this season given his shoulder injury and for anyone who managed to snag him in the middle rounds, life is pretty good.
Jan 26, 2022
Comes close to triple-double
Siakam registered 24 points (9-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds, 12 assists and one block across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 125-113 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Siakam operated as the small forward in a big lineup for the Raptors, since Chris Boucher and Precious Achiuwa were also in the starting lineup, but he thrived in that role and operated quite well as a playmaker -- something that was backed up by the fact that his 12 dimes represented a season-high mark for him. Don't expect Siakam to be this active as a playmaker going forward, but he should remain one of Toronto's main scoring weapons as long as he remains healthy.
Jan 24, 2022
Carries Raptors in defeat
Siakam ended Sunday's 114-105 loss to the Trail Blazers with 28 points (13-20 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes.

The star big man has scored at least 20 points in seven of his last eight appearances, averaging 23.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 6.3 assists per contest in that eight-game stretch.
Jan 22, 2022

He's averaged 23.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 2.3 steals per game in that seven-game span, a stretch in which he's also recorded four double-doubles.

ANALYSIS
The triple-double was a rare feat for Siakam, whose assist numbers are shaky at best, but he managed to drop 10 dimes in the narrow win. He's already put up four double-doubles this month. and as long as he keeps logging 40-minute games, Siakam will continue to be a top producer for Toronto,

Averaging 23.7 points, 11.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game, he's hit a blistering 52.6 percent of his threes over that stretch. Although unsustainable, he's knocking down open looks and also displaying some of the best passing of his career.

ANALYSIS
Siakam saw his double-double streak come to an end, but he did an excellent job of filling out the stat sheet while also recording his best scoring output of the campaign.

ANALYSIS
This was the third straight game in which Siakam had a double-double, and the star big man has also scored at least 15 points in each of his last six appearances. Siakam missed the start of the season but didn't need too many games to recover his form. He's averaging 21.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks since the start of December.
Jan 2, 2022
Keeps on sizzling
Siakam notched 20 points (7-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 120-105 victory over New York.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old is starting to play some of the best basketball of his career since returning from a brief stint in the league's health and safety protocols. In his three appearances since rejoining the team, Siakam is averaging an impressive 24.3 points, 13.0 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game. While the New Mexico State product most likely won't keep these numbers up the rest of the season, Siakam is still locked in as a solid play in all fantasy formats this year.
Jan 1, 2022
Dismantles Clippers
Siakam posted 25 points (10-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-9 FT), 19 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two blocks in 40 minutes during Friday's 116-108 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam matched his career-high 19 boards while coming up just one assist shy of his season-high eight assists. While his three-point shooting still leaves something to be desired, Siakam continues to have big games by stuffing the stat sheet as one of the team's primary options. Over his past four appearances, he's averaged 23.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 39.0 minutes.
Dec 28, 2021
Season-high eight assists in return
Siakam accumulated 28 points (11-21 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 42 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam wasted no time getting back in the groove after last playing Dec. 14. The 27-year-old forward registered a season-high eight assists while shooting efficiently and hitting both defensive stats. He should continue to see bloated usage while key teammates remain sideline due to protocols.
Dec 28, 2021
Returning to action Tuesday
Siakam (conditioning) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam cleared the health and safety protocols and was initially considered questionable for Tuesday due to conditioning, and he's ready to retake the court. The 27-year-old hasn't seen game action since Dec. 14, so he may face a minutes restriction in his first game back.
Dec 28, 2021
Upgraded to probable
Siakam (conditioning) is listed as probable for Tuesday's contest against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam cleared the league's health and safety protocols Monday, but he was initially listed as questionable. The star forward hasn't played in a game since Dec. 14, so it's possible he garners a minute restriction during his return to game action. In 12 contests before his absence, Siakam was averaging 21.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists across 35.3 minutes per game.
Dec 27, 2021
Questionable Tuesday
Siakam has cleared the league's health and safety protocols and is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam missed the last two games due to the league's COVID-19 protocols but will now be able to return to practice. If he's cleared to return to game action Tuesday, it's possible that he could have a minutes restriction.
Dec 18, 2021
Placed in protocols
Siakam has entered health and safety protocols, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam is a late scratch for Saturday's game and stands to potentially miss even more time. In his absence, his minutes will presumably be replaced by OG Anunoby (hip), who is making his return Saturday.
Dec 15, 2021
Scores efficient 25
Siakam had 25 points (12-21 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 44 minutes during Tuesday's 131-129 overtime loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Siakam continues to put up strong scoring numbers, despite an 0-of-10 slump from three. A career-high 7.6 rebounds per game is also furthering his value. For the season, Siakam is averaging 18.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists over 17 contests.
Dec 13, 2021
Thursday's game vs. Bulls postponed
The NBA has officially postponed Thursday's game between the Raptors and Bulls, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bulls are dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak that's landed 10 players in health and safety protocols, so the league has postponed Thursday's game in an effort to limit potential exposure. The Raptors will still have three games on their Week 9 schedule, including a back-to-back starting Monday against Sacramento. The last time Siakam faced the Kings, he dropped a season-high 32 points during a 108-89 win.
Dec 6, 2021
Shines with 31 points
Siakam chipped in 31 points (10-21 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 10-12 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 102-90 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Siakam didn't have his best shooting effort, but he still provided an excellent stat line and was able to lead the way in scoring for the Raptors. The star forward has scored at least 20 points in three straight games.
Dec 1, 2021
Continues scoring run
Siakam provided 20 points (9-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, five assists, three blocks and a steal across 30 minutes in Tuesday's 98-91 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Siakam is producing equal to nearly all of his career averages -- signifying a realistic expectation of his rest-of-season value. However, it is worth noting that he is currently performing at a career-best player efficiency rating. Siakam is a high-floor asset on a retooling Raptors team.
Nov 27, 2021
Posts double-double in loss
Siakam accumulated 17 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's 114-97 loss to Indiana.
ANALYSIS
This was Siakam's second double-double of the season, but he seems to be on the rise following a slow start to the campaign and the fact that he missed Toronto's first 10 games due to injury. He's now scored at least 15 points in four games in a row.
Nov 22, 2021
Paces Raptors on scoreboard
Siakam mustered 21 points (8-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 loss to Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Siakam stayed hot in Sunday's loss and was the only player to record 20-plus points for the Raptors. The 27-year-old has scored at least 20 points in four of the last five games, and he's averaged 20.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 33.8 minutes per contest during that time.
Nov 20, 2021
Stellar production in victory
Siakam recorded 32 points (10-12 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 30 minutes during Friday's 108-89 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Siakam bounced back after a poor performance in the Raptors' previous game, delivering fantasy managers what was well and truly his best performance thus far. The efficiency was back, both from the floor and the charity stripe, erasing memories from just 48 hours prior. He is still early in terms of his return to action, and so there are going to be a few bumps in the road. With that being said, he should be able to keep the arrow pointing in the right direction moving forward, making him a valuable asset in every format.
Nov 16, 2021
Posts 20-6-6 in loss
Siakam recorded 20 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one block across 39 minutes during Monday's 118-113 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
It's understandable that Siakam took a few games to get his legs under him after missing Toronto's first 10 contests this season -- in his first two games back, he averaged just 11.5 points on 42.1 percent shooting. The forward has been considerably better over his subsequent pair of contests, posting per-game averages of 22.5 points, 9.0 boards and 6.5 dimes. He has also played at least 35 minutes in each of those contests, so it looks like Siakam has shed his minutes limit and is ready to roll without restrictions.
Nov 14, 2021
Best game of season thus far
Siakam ended Saturday's 127-121 loss to the Pistons with 25 points (9-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Siakam remains on a minutes' limit, but that wasn't noticeable considering he logged 35 minutes while ending just three assists away from a triple-double. The versatile big man has seen his minutes ramp up with each passing game, and his upside should only increase as the minutes' restriction disappears while the season progresses.
Nov 13, 2021
Starting Saturday, still on limit
Siakam is starting Saturday against the Pistons, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports. He remains on a minutes limit.
ANALYSIS
Siakam played 30 minutes in his latest appearance, so the minutes limit appears to be pretty loose. Still, don't expect him to see 35-plus minutes even if the game goes into overtime.
Nov 11, 2021
Ruled out Thursday
Siakam (rest) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam logged eight points and seven rebounds in 30 minutes during Wednesday's loss to Boston, and he'll get a breather for the second half of the back-to-back set. Precious Achiuwa and Chris Boucher should see increased playing time Thursday.
Nov 10, 2021
Likely sitting Thursday
Coach Nick Nurse said after Wednesday's loss to the Celtics that he doesn't expect Siakam (rest) to play the second half of the back-to-back set Thursday against the 76ers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Wednesday's contest was Siakam's second of the season after missing the start of the campaign while recovering from offseason surgery, so it's not a major surprise he won't immediately be playing in both ends of a back-to-back set. The 27-year-old had a quiet showing in Boston with eight points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals in 30 minutes.
Nov 10, 2021
Making another start next to Barnes
Siakam will start at center in Wednesday's game against Boston, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Siakam will remain in the lineup as he plays in his second game of the season after missing time while recovering from offseason surgery. In his debut against Brooklyn on Sunday, Siakam posted 15 points, four rebounds, two blocks and an assist in 25 minutes. Heading into a back-to-back, coach Nick Nurse called Siakam questionable for Thursday's game against the Sixers.
Nov 9, 2021
Questionable for Thursday
Coach Nick Nurse said Siakam will play Wednesday, but is questionable for Thursday, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam saw his first action of the season Sunday after dealing with a shoulder injury to start the year. Nurse said the plan is for the 6-foot-9 forward to play Wednesday in Boston, but his status for Thursday in Philadelphia is to be determined. If he is sidelined Thursday, then Scottie Barnes and Precious Achiuwa would likely see increased run against the Sixers.
Nov 7, 2021
Starting in return
Siakam is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Nets, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was known to be returning Sunday, however, head coach Nick Nurse would not confirm whether he would be starting or not. The 2020 All-Star will, in fact, return to the starting five for his 2021-22 NBA debut, knocking Precious Achiuwa to the bench. It's unclear how much Nurse plans to play him but his in-game activity will certainly ramp up as the week progresses.
Nov 6, 2021
Will return Sunday
Siakam (shoulder) will make his season debut Sunday against the Nets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
There was some growing optimism that Siakam could return Sunday or by Wednesday at the latest. Head coach Nick Nurse confirmed Saturday that Siakam will be making his 2021-22 debut Sunday afternoon. The 2020 All-Star should be expected to slot right into the starting lineup, although it's unclear if he'll be on some sort of minutes restriction in his first taste of action.
Nov 6, 2021
Could return this weekend
Siakam (shoulder) is close to a return and could be back as soon as Sunday against the Nets, if not then Wednesday versus the Celtics, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam's agent gave him a two-week window this past Tuesday to return to game action. It seems as though that could happen quite soon with the Nets on tap to come into town Sunday. The 27-year-old forward had shoulder surgery in early June and has been making some noticeable strides in his rehab progression over recent weeks. Siakam has performed remarkably over the last two seasons, averaging 22.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and four assists per game. His return to the lineup will be an immediate boost on both ends of the floor and likely will push either Scottie Barnes or Precious Achiuwa out of the starting five.
Nov 2, 2021
Will debut within two weeks
Siakam will return to game action within the next two weeks, per his agent, Todd Ramasar, Justin Termine of Sirius XM NBA reports.
ANALYSIS
Ramasar did not provide a target return date, but this is excellent news for Siakam and his fantasy managers alike. Even if he remains out for the full two additional weeks, that would mean he'd only be set to miss seven more contests. The 5-3 Raptors have been able to tread water without last season's leading scorer, who averaged 21.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 made three-pointers per game. The hope is that Siakam will bounce back as a long-range shooter afters hitting just 29.7 percent of his attempts last season -- down from 35.9 percent in 2019-20.
Oct 29, 2021
Joining G League for rehab
Siakam (shoulder) was assigned to the Raptors 905 of the G League on Friday to continue his rehab, and he may not make his season debut for Toronto until mid-November, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was able to practice with no restrictions earlier this week, but his return to game action apparently isn't on the immediate horizon. The G League doesn't start its season for another week, so the 27-year-old has joined the affiliate to continue his practice work this weekend since the Raptors have a back-to-back set Friday and Saturday. Rookie Scottie Barnes has started the first five games of the season for Toronto and should remain in that role until Siakam reaches game readiness.
Oct 26, 2021
Practices with no restrictions
Siakam (shoulder) went through a full practice Tuesday with no restrictions, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was expected to be out for at least a few weeks to start the season, but he continues to progress well and may make a return to the court soon. The 27-year-old forward averaged 21.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals across 35.8 minutes last year. His return to the Raptors' lineup would be a huge plus, as they have dropped three out of their first four game, but Toronto will likely be extremely cautious with one of its top players.
Oct 23, 2021
Starts some contact work
Siakam (shoulder) has been practicing with some contact, Eric Smith of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was always expected to miss a few weeks at the start of this season, but it's encouraging that he's upped his work to include contact less than one week into the year. However, a firm timetable for his return has yet to be established, so fantasy managers are still somewhat in the dark regarding when he'll suit up for a game.
Oct 12, 2021
May start contact work this week
Coach Nick Nurse said Tuesday that Siakam (shoulder) should start contact work this week and may only be a few weeks from a return, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Nurse added that Siakam has "been going 100 percent for 4-6 weeks," but he has just been practicing against air. Toronto's star forward underwent shoulder surgery in July and was initially expected to miss the first few weeks of the season. While his progress is encouraging, he will likely still be unavailable for the season opener against the Wizards on Oct. 20.
Sep 27, 2021
Hasn't been cleared for contact
Siakam (shoulder) is yet to be cleared for contact as training camp begins, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Given that Siakam underwent surgery in July and was initially slated to miss the first few weeks of the regular season, it's really no surprise that he's yet to return to contact work. For now, Siakam has been limited to 1-on-0 workouts at the Raptors' facility, and the team is encouraged by his progress. "He looks good," GM Bobby Webster said Monday. "He's in a really positive head space. I think he's happy and ready to go." The Raptors have not handed down a concrete timetable for the talented wing, but the expectation remains that he could be back in action sometime in early November.
Jun 11, 2021
May miss first few weeks of season
Siakam (shoulder) received successful surgery last week and will be out for around five months, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam tore his labrum in his left shoulder and is unlikely to be ready for the start of the 2021-22 season. The forward missed time late at the end of the season due to this shoulder injury. He's expected to be fully healthy in early-mid November. His status for the beginning of next season should be known by October.
May 15, 2021
Out for finale
Siakam (shoulder) will not play in Sunday's finale against the Pacers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
A shoulder strain will end up sidelining Siakam for the final four games of the season. He ends his fifth season with the Raptors by averaging 21.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 35.8 minutes.
May 14, 2021
Out again
Siakam (shoulder) will not play Friday against the Mavericks, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam will sit for the third straight game, and it would be a major surprise if he appears in Sunday's finale against Indiana.
May 12, 2021
Ruled out Thursday
Siakam (shoulder) will not be available for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam is dealing with a strained shoulder, but at the same time the Raptors have very little incentive to play their starters with a postseason spot out of reach. With two games remaining on the schedule, it's unclear if Siakam will see the court again before the end of the regular season.
May 10, 2021
Unavailable Tuesday
Siakam (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam exited Saturday's matchup with Memphis with a strained left shoulder and will remain sidelined Tuesday. Kyle Lowry (rest), Fred VanVleet (rest) and OG Anunoby (calf) are among the other players sidelined for the Raptors.
May 8, 2021
Won't return Saturday
Siakam exited Saturday's game against Memphis early with a left shoulder strain and will not return.
ANALYSIS
Siakam played 30 minutes before leaving the court due to the shoulder injury but he's officially done for the night. He finished with 18 points, three rebounds and four assists. Depending on the extent of the injury, his next chance to return will come Tuesday against the Clippers.
May 7, 2021
Explodes for 44 points
Siakam notched 44 points (17-28 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and a steal across 42 minutes in Thursday's overtime loss against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has recorded two double-doubles over his last three appearances and has been playing at a high level of late, scoring at least 24 points in six of his last nine appearances. The talented big man is averaging 24.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists during that stretch, and he seems to be gearing up for a strong end of the season despite the fact that the Raptors are all but eliminated from playoff contention.
May 5, 2021
Nice two-way performance
Siakam posted 24 points (10-24 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three steals and two assists in 42 minutes during Tuesday's 105-100 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
While Siakam wasn't especially efficient and was a bit turnover-prone (four), he was second on the team in scoring and got three steals. Tuesday marked Siakam's fourth performance of the season with at least 20 points and three steals.
May 3, 2021
Explodes for 39 points
Siakam notched 39 points (15-26 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks across 38 minutes in Sunday's win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam topped the 30-point mark for the first time since April 2, when he recorded 36 points against the Warriors, and this one was his best scoring output of the entire campaign. Siakam's numbers have regressed a bit compared to last season, but he remains one of the biggest offensive threats in the Raptors roster.
May 2, 2021
Totals three steals Saturday
Siakam tallied 15 points (7-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and three steals in a loss to the Jazz on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has struggled from the field a bit of late -- he's made just 31.1 percent of his field-goal tries over his past three games -- but the 27-year-old made up for a ho-hum scoring line by tying his season high in steals and collecting seven boards. He didn't dish any assists Saturday but is still in line for a career-best mark with a per-game average of 4.5 dimes on the campaign. Siakam is also averaging 20.6 points, 7.1 boards and 1.1 steals.
Apr 30, 2021
Poor shooting performance
Siakam posted 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in a 121-111 loss to the Nuggets on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has struggled shooting from the floor over the team's past two games, making 7-of-27 and only scoring 21 points. While the forward is having a rough season for his standards, he is making a career-high free-throw percentage of 84 percent, going 6-of-6 in the last two games.
Apr 28, 2021
Struggles with shot in loss
Siakam scored 10 points (2-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT) with seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in a 116-103 loss to the Nets on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Siakam had scored 20-plus points in five consecutive games prior to Tuesday's inefficient showing. Statistically, it was the forward's worst shooting performance of the season, though he did shoot a perfect percentage from the line for the first time since April 11. Expect Siakam to bounce back in his next game, as he has averaged 23.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists across his last six contests.
Apr 26, 2021
Another big night in win over Cavs
Siakam went for 25 points (11-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and a block in Monday's win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors made some strange personnel decisions earlier in April, but with most of their regulars available Monday, they were able to bounce back from an ugly, 17-point loss so the Knicks on Saturday. Siakam has scored at least 25 points in three straight games -- something he's done only one other time this season.
Apr 24, 2021
Scores 26 points with five triples
Siakam accumulated 26 points (8-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Saturday's 120-103 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old has been on fire since returning from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury, averaging 26.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 3.5 three-pointers and 1.5 steals while shooting 47.4 percent from the field. With the Raptors slipping to the twelfth seed in the Eastern Conference, Siakam is in danger of sitting out more games down the stretch. With Toronto playing in back-to-back sets starting on Monday, it wouldn't be surprising to see the fifth-year forward sit out at least one of those games.
Apr 22, 2021
Carries Raptors in win
Siakam notched 27 points (10-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old sat out the past two games due to a combination of rest and inflammation in his left shoulder, but he didn't seem bothered and carried Toronto offensively -- he led the team in minutes played, points, rebounds, assists and steals. Siakam has now scored at least 20 points in seven of his last eight contests.
Apr 20, 2021
Set to return Wednesday
Siakam (shoulder) isn't listed on the injury report Wednesday against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old sat out the past two games while due to a combination of rest and inflammation in his left shoulder, but he'll return to action Wednesday against the Nets. Siakam has averaged 24.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.6 blocks in 38.4 minutes in his last five appearances.
Apr 18, 2021
Out Sunday
Siakam (shoulder) will not play Sunday against the Thunder, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam rested in Friday's game, but it appears he picked up a left shoulder injury in the meantime. He will have a few more days to rest up with the team's next game not until Wednesday.
Apr 15, 2021
Resting Friday
Siakam (rest) will not play Friday against Orlando, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam will join Kyle Lowry and and OG Anunoby as the three are set to rest in Friday's game. The 27-year-old's absence will likely open up more playing time for Stanley Johnson and Yuta Watanabe.
Apr 14, 2021
Another well-rounded line
Siakam scored 20 points (7-20 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT) to go along with 11 rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block across 37 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Siakam led the team in field-goal attempts, but shot inefficiently to hold down his scoring a bit. However, he delivered plenty of production across the board, notching at least six assists for the third consecutive game, aided by the absence of Kyle Lowry (rest) and Fred VanVleet (suspension). Though he's averaging only 0.7 blocks per game for the season, he's managed 1.5 across his last six contests.
Apr 14, 2021
Stuffs stat sheet Tuesday
Siakam had 30 points (13-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and two blocks across 40 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam had recently ended a streak of four games with at least 22 points Sunday, but he bounced back here and missed just six of his 19 field-goal attempts en route to just his second game with at least 30 points since Feb. 10. Siakam's numbers have been slightly disappointing his season, but he seems to be trending in the right direction -- the star forward is averaging 26.3 points per game over his last six outings.
Apr 12, 2021
Puts up 16 points Sunday
Siakam notched 16 points (5-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven assists and two blocks across 36 minutes in Sunday's loss at the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam rested Saturday and looked a bit rusty here, as he needed 18 shots to record his 16-point tally, and he also failed to grab a rebound for the first time in the current season. Siakam should continue to be a key piece for the Raptors going forward, but this game wasn't his best output by any means -- he ended a streak of four straight appearances with at least 22 points.
Apr 10, 2021
Resting Saturday
Siakam will not play in Saturday's game against the Cavaliers for rest purposes, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors are playing the first leg of a back-to-back set and have opted to rest Siakam as a result. In his absence, look for Chris Boucher to be the prime beneficiary, while Stanley Johnson should also see increased run. Barring any unforseen circumstances, he should be back in the lineup Sunday.
Apr 9, 2021
Drops 27 points again Thursday
Siakam tallied 27 points (10-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 3Pt), eight rebounds and three blocked shots across 38 minutes in a loss to the Bulls on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Siakam and Chris Boucher combined for 65 points for a depleted Toronto team, though it wasn't enough to help the Raptors keep pace in the contest. Siakam has scored 27 points in each of his past two contests and has gone for 20-plus eight times in his past 10 games. Over that stretch, he is averaging 24.0 points, 7.7 boards and 3.7 assists.
Apr 6, 2021
Strong performance in loss
Siakam supplied 27 points (7-21 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 13-15 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 41 minutes during Tuesday's 110-101 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
While the Lakers were content letting Siakam fire away from deep, they didn't have an answer for him around the hoop, as he shot a season-high 15 freebies. In addition to his efficient scoring and quality defense, Siakam committed just one turnover. Keeping turnovers low has been a strong part of Siakam's game this season. He's one of only 11 players averaging at least 20.0 points with 2.0 or fewer turnovers.

Scores team-high 22 points
Siakam tallied 22 points (10-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 36 minutes during Monday's win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old followed up Friday's bounce-back performance with another solid all-around outing. Siakam is kicking off the month of April in style, averaging 29.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 three-pointers and 2.0 steals while shooting 60.0 percent from the field over his past two games. The fifth-year forward should continue to carry the offensive load for as long as Kyle Lowry (foot) and Fred VanVleet (hip) remain out of the lineup.
Apr 2, 2021
Solid all-around performance
Siakam totaled 36 points (14-24 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals across 31 minutes in Friday's victory over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
This was a bounceback performance for Siakam who had struggled in his two previous outings when he totaled 28 points on 7-of-23 shooting. Though the game was out of hand, Siakam still managed to tie for the team lead with his 31 minutes. While Siakam has had his struggles this season, he typically rights the ship within two or three outings.
Mar 30, 2021
Struggles with shot in loss
Siakam posted 14 points (5-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 28 minutes in Monday's 118-104 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
It was a slow night from the floor for Siakam, who alternates between prolific stat lines and disappointing results as the Raptors continue to struggle. He was on a nice four-game run of production coming into Monday's game, with scores of 20-plus points in those contests. The Raptors have an easy game coming up against the Thunder Wednesday, so Siakam and his teammates may be able to right the ship.
Mar 28, 2021
Scores 26 in losing effort
Siakam went for 26 points (8-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), eight rebounds and two assists in Sunday's loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
Siakam continues to score the ball well, as he's topped 20 points in four straight games and five of his last six. He's worked his way to the line effectively of late, attempting 30 free throws (and hitting 26) over his last three games alone. Siakam can be prone to inconsistency, but he should remain a strong fantasy option throughout the second half as the Raptors chase a playoff spot.
Mar 26, 2021
Huge double-double in win
Siakam totaled 26 points (8-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes Friday in the loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has been on fire over his last three games though it hasn't translated to wins for the Raptors. Still, for fantasy managers, three straight 20-point outings along with two double-doubles and two games with six assists has to feel good. One negative for Siakam though has been his shooting from distance. In this three-game span, he's shooting just 25.0 percent from beyond the arc.
Mar 24, 2021
Leads team with 27 points
Siakam registered 27 points (8-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in 34 minutes during Wednesday's blowout 135-111 victory over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old posted a gem stat line while helping the Raptors snap a nine-game losing streak on Wednesday. Siakam has been posting high-end numbers since returning from a six-game absence due to COVID-19 protocols, averaging 19.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.0 steals over his last five games. Siakam should continue playing heavy minutes for a Raptors team that's fighting for a playoff spot.
Mar 23, 2021
Ekes out double-double in loss
Siakam produced 21 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, a steal and a blocked shot across 36 minutes in Monday's 117-99 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
It was a nice bounce-back game for Siakam after a tepid game against the Cavaliers. Siakam has had some issues with consistency since his six-game absence, but it isn't a huge concern for those who depend on Siakam in fantasy formats. He should return to steadier production in short order as the team seeks to end their nine-game skid.
Mar 17, 2021
Rusty performance in return
Siakam tallied 13 points (3-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 116-112 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors welcomed back a host of players including Siakam who was playing his first game in almost a month. The rust was evident but the fact he played in excess of 30 minutes is an indication that his conditioning is at a reasonable level. It will take him a few games to get back to where he was prior to the enforced layoff, although, the Raptors need to start winning some games and so he should be activated in all formats.
Mar 17, 2021
Cleared to return Wednesday
Siakam (COVID-19 protocols) has been cleared to return for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was cleared to take part in practice Tuesday, and he'll be one of four Raptors to rejoin the roster after missing the last six games due to COVID-19 protocols. Given that Siakam hasn't played since Feb. 24, it's possible he could have a soft minutes restriction Wednesday.
Mar 16, 2021
Could return Wednesday
Siakam (COVID-19 protocols) has been cleared to practice with the Raptors on Tuesday night and is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam hasn't played since Feb. 24 while going through protocols, but his return is imminent. Along with Siakam, Patrick McCaw and Malachi Flynn are questionable, while Fred VanVleet is doubtful and OG Anunoby is out -- all due to health and safety protocols. If Siakam is cleared Wednesday, it's possible he'll be on a minutes limit.
Mar 14, 2021
Officially ruled out Sunday
Siakam (COVID-19 protocols) will not play Sunday against the Bulls, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam wasn't expected to play Sunday, but his absence became official with the team ruling him out of his sixth-consecutive game. Chris Boucher should be in line for an increased workload once again with Siakam out.
Mar 13, 2021
Unlikely to return Sunday
Siakam (COVID-19 protocols) isn't expected to be available Sunday at Chicago, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old is missing his fifth straight game Saturday against the Hornets, and the absence is expected to extend to six contests Sunday. Siakam is one of five Toronto players sidelined due to the health and safety protocols, and none of them are expected to return against the Bulls. Their next chance to return to action will be Wednesday at Detroit.
Mar 12, 2021
Missing another game
Siakam (COVID-19 protocols) is out for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam will miss his fifth straight game while working through the league's health and safety protocols. Lewenberg reports that it's unlikely he'll be available Sunday, for the second game of Toronto's back-to-back against Charlotte and Chicago. Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn and Patrick McCaw are all in the same boat, and have been ruled out for Saturday.
Mar 10, 2021
One of five Raptors out Thursday
Siakam (COVID-19 protocols) will not be available for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
COVID-19 protocols kept Siakam out of the final three games before the break, and he'll now miss at least one more contest, as will Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn and Patrick McCaw. The hope is that all five will be cleared before the Raptors' Saturday/Sunday back-to-back against Charlotte and Chicago, but as of now it's unclear when they'll be given the green light. Toronto started Aron Baynes, Stanley Johnson, DeAndre' Bembry, Norman Powell and Kyle Lowry in the final game before the All-Star break.
Feb 27, 2021
Out through All-Star break
Siakam (COVID-19 protocols) will not play before the All-Star break, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Due to health and safety protocols, Siakam will miss the Raptors' final three games leading up to the break. With Siakam sidelined Friday against the Rockets, Chris Boucher drew the start, and there's a good chance he'll remain in the lineup across the next three games. DeAndre' Bembry also saw extra time, playing 23 minutes. Yuta Watanabe played 17 minutes.
Feb 26, 2021
Out due to protocols
Siakam is out for Friday's game against the Rockets due to health and safety protocols.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors coaching staff is dealing with COVID-19 protocols, too, and coach Nick Nurse won't be on the sidelines. Without Siakam, look for Chris Boucher, Stanley Johnson and DeAndre' Bembry to see extra run.
Feb 25, 2021
Unproductive in loss
Siakam recorded five points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists and two rebounds in the Raptors' 116-108 loss to the Heat on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Siakam had a very underwhelming performance, scoring a season-low five points while also grabbing a season-low two rebounds. Additionally, he didn't play in the fourth quarter leading to a season-low 24 minutes. Despite the rough night, the forward is still having a great month of February, averaging 20.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
Feb 23, 2021
Scores 22 points Tuesday
Siakam had 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven assists, six rebounds, three steals and a block across 42 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam struggled a bit with his shot from three-point range, but he still delivered a solid performance across the board while also coming close to a double-double. Siakam endured a tough start to the season but has turned things around in recent weeks, scoring at least 20 points in seven of his last nine games.
Feb 21, 2021
Flirts with double-double
Siakam scored 23 points (8-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding eight assists, seven rebounds and one steal over 41 minutes in Sunday's victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has added at least five rebounds and five assists in five straight games while extending his consecutive games streak with a steal to 13. He's struggled with his shot, hitting under 45 percent in four of his last five games but is on par with his shooting percentage for all of last season.
Feb 20, 2021
Quiet night on offense
Siakam totaled 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and three blocked shots in an 86-81 victory versus the Timberwolves on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was uncharacteristically quiet on the offensive end, finishing with his lowest point total in over a month. However, the forward made his mark on the glass with nine rebounds and dished six assists while registering a season-best three blocks. Siakam's scoring is down a bit this season at 20.8 points per game, but he is posting career-high per-game marks in boards (7.7), dimes (4.5) and steals (1.2).
Feb 19, 2021
Pours in 27 points in win
Siakam provided 27 points (9-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two blocked shots and a steal across 38 minutes in Thursday's 110-96 win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam turned in a great all-around performance despite an odd night off the glass . The team netted only two offensive rebounds in the game yet managed a convincing victory anyway. That statistical deficiency is one reason for his slight regression in rebounding numbers after grabbing 13 boards against Milwaukee on Tuesday.
Feb 16, 2021
Well-rounded performance in win
Siakam posted 23 points (8-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 124-113 win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam posted his seventh double-double of the season Tuesday, and it marked his third double-double of the season with at least six assists. The performance adds to a great streak of games that Siakam has been on. In the six games prior to Tuesday, Siakam was averaging 24.5 points on 17.8 shots, 6.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.8 combined steals-plus-blocks.
Feb 15, 2021
Efficiency dips in loss
Siakam finished with 18 points (6-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block Sunday in the Raptors' 116-112 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Siakam's ability to check off every column of the box score salvaged what was a poor night on the offensive end. Fantasy managers should grant Siakam some leeway after he had been red hot from the field over his last three games, averaging 27.0 points while converting on 62.5 percent of his three-point attempts and 56 percent of his shots overall.
Feb 10, 2021
Drops 26 in win
Siakam went for 26 points (9-18 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block over 34 minutes in the Raptors' win over the Wizards on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Siakam had alternated games in which he scored more than 30 points and less than 20 points over his last five games prior to Wednesday's performance. Though he had the two sub-par performances, his last seven games has been his most productive stretch of the season as he is averaging 25.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.0 steals per game
Feb 8, 2021
Another excellent performance
Siakam had 32 points (11-18 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six assists, five rebounds, a steal and a block across 39 minutes in Monday's win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Siakam is going through his most productive stretch of the season, and the talented big man has scored 30 or more points in four of his last six appearances. He is averaging 25.7 points and 6.8 rebounds per game in that span.
Feb 5, 2021
Scores season-high 33 points
Siakam scored 33 points (12-23 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT) while adding 11 rebounds, six assists, three steals and a block across 39 minutes in Friday's win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has been under heavy criticism most of the season and his numbers have been well below the expectations of most fantasy managers almost on a nightly basis, but he's clearly trending in the right direction of late -- he has scored 30 or more points in three of his last four games while posting two double-doubles during that stretch. Siakam is averaging 23.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.6 steals per game over his last five appearances since missing two straight contests in late January.
Feb 2, 2021
Two assists shy of double-double
Siakam added 12 points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and one steal over 36 minutes in Tuesday's 123-108 victory against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Siakam followed up his back-to-back 30-point performances with quiet night on Tuesday, though Fred VanVleet's 54-point performance may have had something to do with it. While Siakam wasn't scoring, he did finish second on the team with eight assists and is averaging a career-high 4.5 assists per game this season.
Feb 1, 2021
Provides huge double-double in win
Siakam supplied 30 points (12-23 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block across 34 minutes Sunday in the Raptors' 115-102 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
With two key rotation options missing in OG Anunoby (calf) and Norman Powell (quadriceps), Siakam helped pick up the slack, reaching the 30-point mark for the second time in as many games. The 26-year-old was also able to get the job done on the defensive end, finishing the day with perhaps his best stat line of the season. Anunoby is expected to miss around a week while Powell is listed as doubtful ahead of Tuesday's rematch with Orlando, so Siakam looks like he could benefit from an uptick in usage for at least one more game.
Jan 30, 2021
Scores 32 points in loss
Siakam scored 32 points (11-20 FG, 0-1 3PT, 10-14 FT) to go along with four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 38 minutes in Friday's loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Siakam posted a 30.9 percent usage rate in the absence of OG Anunoby (calf) and Norman Powell (quadriceps) to match a season-high 32 points. Much of that came from the free-throw line, as he was aggressive getting to the rim. Shouldering that offensive load seemingly caused the rest of Siakam's line to suffer, as he produced little besides points relative to his usual output.
Jan 27, 2021
Quiet in second half
Siakam scored 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt) to go with nine rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes in a 115-108 loss to Milwaukee on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was quiet in the second half after scoring seven points in the first. The forward finished his night shooting just 2-for-6 from the field after halftime. Siakam has scored fewer points in just two other outings this season, and has ultimately seen a scoring dip this season from 22.9 points per game in the 2019-2020 campaign down to 18.6 points per contest this year.
Jan 27, 2021
Cleared to play
Siakam (knee) will play Wednesday against the Bucks, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After a two-game absence, Siakam will take the court. Across his past five appearances, he's averaging 15.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.8 minutes.
Jan 27, 2021
To be game-time call
Siakam (knee) will be a game-time call for Wednesday's matchup against Milwaukee, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Swelling in his left knee has already cost Siakam the last two games, but there's hope that he'll be cleared to return to the lineup Wednesday night. Look for a more definitive update closer to the 7:30 PM ET tip.
Jan 26, 2021
Deemed questionable for Wednesday
Siakam (knee) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has been sidelined for the Raptors' last two games with left knee swelling, but the team is hoping that a few days of rest will be enough for the forward to gain clearance for Wednesday. If Siakam can't make it back for the matchup with Milwaukee, head coach Nick Nurse would likely rely on Stanley Johnson, Yuta Watanabe and Chris Boucher to fill most of the minutes at power forward.
Jan 25, 2021
Remains out Monday
Siakam (knee) won't play Monday against the Pacers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old was a late scratch Sunday due to swelling in his left knee, and he'll be unavailable Monday after being listed as questionable. Stanley Johnson received the start in his place and should have an increased role again at Indiana. Siakam's next chance to play will be Wednesday versus the Bucks.
Jan 25, 2021
Questionable Monday
Siakam (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
A knee issue prevented Siakam from playing in Sunday's win over the Pacers, but there's hope he could be back in the lineup on the second half of the back-to-back set. Siakam admitted that he has been plagued by the knee for several games, which may explain why he's gone five straight contests without reaching 20 points. In that span, Siakam is shooting just 40.0 percent from the floor, while going 3-of-21 from deep.
Jan 24, 2021
Late scratch Sunday
Siakam won't play Sunday against the Pacers due to swelling in his left knee, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old has recently been playing through a groin injury, but it's knee swelling that will prevent him from playing Sunday at Indiana. It's unclear if Siakam will be available for the second half of the back-to-back set Monday. Stanley Johnson and Yuta Watanabe should have increased roles for Toronto, which will also be without Kyle Lowry (toe).
Jan 22, 2021
Posts double-double Friday
Siakam registered 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists and a steal across 33 minutes in Friday's win over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has been battling through a groin issue recently -- skipping out on practice Thursday as a result -- but that stopped him from making a big impact on both ends of the court Friday while also dealing with Bam Adebayo throughout the game. Siakam has underperformed this season but seems to be turning things around of late -- he has four double-doubles over his last eight contests and is averaging 17.5 points and 9.6 rebounds per game over that stretch.
Jan 22, 2021
Ready to roll Friday
Siakam (groin) will dress and start Friday's game against the Heat, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has been battling through a groin issue recently -- skipping out on practice Thursday as a result -- but will apparently avoid missing game action because of it. He seems likely to assume his usual workload barring a setback.
Jan 21, 2021
Officially listed as questionable
Siakam (groin) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has been nursing a groin issue for the last several games, and while he's yet to miss any time, he was held out of practice Thursday. The Raptors will likely wait to see how he feels at shootaround Friday morning before updating his status.
Jan 21, 2021
Doesn't practice Thursday
Siakam (groin) did not practice Thursday and his status for Friday's game against the Heat is uncertain, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam admitted after Wednesday's loss that he was affected by a groin injury during the loss, and he noted that the injury has been bothering him "for a little bit." An All-NBA selection last season, Siakam is having a down year, averaging about four fewer points per game and shooting only 43.9 percent from the field, 25.0 percent from three and 78.6 percent from the charity stripe. If Siakam sits Friday, more minutes would be available for Norman Powell, Stanley Johnson and Yuta Watanabe.
Jan 21, 2021
Acknowledges groin injury
Siakam admitted after Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Heat that he was affected by a groin injury during the contest, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports. "My groin's been bothering me for a little bit, so that was definitely unfortunate," Siakam said.
ANALYSIS
Siakam appeared to get banged up on a dunk attempt Wednesday, but he remained in the game and turned in a serviceable line of 18 points (7-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 36 minutes. Head coach Nick Nurse insisted after the contest that Siakam was fine, so at this stage, he can likely be viewed as probable for Friday's game against the Heat. Siakam notably missed 11 games in 2019-20 due to a groin issue, so it's less than ideal that he's bothered by the same injury, even if it's only a mild concern.
Jan 20, 2021
Struggles continue from deep
Siakam scored 18 points (7-15 FG, 0-3 3PT, 4-4 FT) to go along with six rebonds, two assists and one steal across 37 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was once again empty from three-point range and is now 0-12 from deep across his last three contests. He was able to score well in the paint and near the basket to still salvage a solid line otherwise, though his per game averages continue to lag behind last season's career-best numbers. On the positive side, Siakam has shown improved passing ability, as he failed to top four assists for the first time in four games.
Jan 19, 2021
Manages 19 points on 19 shots
Siakam had 19 points (7-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and five assists across 34 minutes during Monday's 116-93 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Siakam shot 40.0 percent or worse from the field for the third game in a row but it didn't matter as the team still easily strolled past Dallas. This also marked just the third time this season that Siakam has failed to register a single steal or assist. Siakam's overall play has dipped off a bit from his All-Star campaign in 2019-20, but on the bright side he is averaging a career high of 4.9 assists per game across 12 contests.
Jan 12, 2021
Triple-doubles against Blazers
Siakam had 22 points (9-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in Monday's 112-111 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
It took only one quarter for Siakam to reach the 10-point mark Monday. He was quite efficient in rebounding during this four-game road trip, averaging 9.5 rebounds. Siakam's assist tally Monday was rather surprising, considering he averaged 4.5 assists across his first eight games of the season.
Jan 10, 2021
Second straight double-double
Siakam totaled 25 points (9-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists across 40 minutes in Sunday's 106-105 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Siakam started red-hot, making four of his first seven shots and scoring 11 points in the first quarter but was not as effective the rest of the game. He was able to put up his second consecutive double-double and has three now for the season.
Jan 7, 2021
Goes for 32 in loss
Siakam had 32 points (11-21 FG, 1-4 3PT, 9-14 FT), nine rebounds and three assists in Wednesday's loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
The loss dropped the Raptors to a disappointing 1-6 on the season, but it was the best individual effort for Siakam in the early going. Through his first five appearances, Siakam had averaged just 17.6 points on 40.7 percent shooting from the field.
Jan 4, 2021
Bounces back in loss
Siakam notched 22 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT) while adding six rebounds, three assists and a block across 33 minutes in Monday's 126-114 loss against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Siakam fouled out in his previous appearance and had already missed a game due to punishment from the coaching staff, so he's been under scrutiny in the early going of the season. He bounced back admirably in this one, though, as he put up his best scoring effort of the season. He will try to build off this performance when the Raptors visit the Suns on Wednesday.
Jan 3, 2021
Fouls out in loss
Siakam produced 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, an assist and a steal across 25 minutes in Saturday's 120-116 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Siakam made an early exit, committing his sixth foul with 8:30 left in the fourth quarter. It was a rocky return for the forward after missing his last game for disciplinary reasons. Although he's currently in a rough patch, Siakam should get back to his usual numbers sooner rather than later, especially with Toronto's current deficiencies at the center position.
Jan 2, 2021
Officially playing Saturday
Siakam (not injury related) will play Saturday against the Pelicans, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Siakam will play Saturday after sitting out Thursday's win over the Knicks due to disciplinary reasons. In three games, he is averaging 18.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 39.0 minutes.
Jan 1, 2021
Expected to play Saturday
Siakam (not injury related) is not on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was a late scratch for Thursday's game against the Knicks due to disciplinary reasons, and it's a good sign that he's not on the injury report for Saturday's game. It's still a good idea to keep an eye out for his status, but it would be surprising if his punishment lasted more than one game.
Jan 1, 2021
Sits out in disciplinary decision
Raptors head coach Nick Nurse said after Thursday's 100-83 win over the Knicks that Siakam didn't dress for the contest due to a "disciplinary thing for an internal matter," Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Though Nurse didn't say so explicitly, Siakam's health scratch was likely the result of him electing to head to the locker room in Tuesday's loss to the 76ers rather than joining his teammates on the bench after he fouled out with 25 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. According to Lewenberg, Siakam "accepted the action [the team] chose to take" for his actions, and the expectation is that the All-Star forward will be back in the lineup Saturday in New Orleans. Those planning on using Siakam in DFS or season-long leagues with daily lineup changes will still want to confirm the 26-year-old is back in the starting five ahead of Saturday's 7:30 p.m. ET opening tip.

Won't dress Thursday
Siakam won't dress for Thursday's game against the Knicks for a non-injury related reason, Mike Ganter of the Toronto Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was surprisingly left out of the Raptors' starting five Thursday, but he was still listed as active by the team. However, he'll reportedly be in street clothes for the contest, so he shouldn't appear on the floor. Norman Powell will start in his place against the Knicks, and it's not yet clear whether Siakam could return against the Pelicans on Saturday.

In street clothes Thursday
Siakam is technically active for Thursday's game against the Knicks but will be in street clothes, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
This is an odd, last-minute decision by coach Nick Nurse, and Norman Powell will get the start. More information may arrive after the game.
Dec 31, 2020
Coming off bench
Siakam is coming off the bench for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Luca Rosano of Raps Report reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not clear why Siakam isn't in the starting five. He hasn't been deemed out. There's a chance it's disciplinary after he left the court early during Tuesday's loss to the 76ers.
Dec 30, 2020
Pops for 20 in loss
Siakam scored 20 points (8-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt) while adding six rebounds, two steals and a block in 35 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 100-93 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
It's the second time in three games Siakam has hit for 20 points, and he registered a double-double in the one in which he missed that mark. Despite the solid scoring numbers, the 26-year-old has struggled to find his shot to begin the season, suggesting even more impressive performances are on the horizon. Siakam will look to help the Raptors collect their first win of the season when they host the Knicks on Thursday.
Dec 26, 2020
Sniffs triple-double in loss
Siakam posted 16 points (6-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 15 rebounds, eight assists, a steal and a block across 43 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Siakam ended the game as Toronto's third-highest scorer, but he paced the team in rebounds while being one of three players that registered eight or more dimes -- that speaks volumes of how well the Raptors moved the ball despite the loss. Siakam can be an effective two-way player and has started the season with two strong performances. He will try to keep this up Tuesday at Philadelphia.
Dec 23, 2020
Leads Raptors offensively
Siakam scored 20 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3PT, 1-2 FT) to go along with six rebounds and six assists across 39 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Siakam led the way offensively for the Raptors, with the majority of his damage coming from the mid-range and deep. Particularly encouraging was Siakam's assist total, which would be a strong enhancement to his game after he notched 3.5 assists per game last season. The Raptors will take the floor next on Saturday against the Spurs.
Dec 19, 2020
One board shy of double double
Siakam scored 14 points (5-15 FG, 4-7 3PT), had nine rebounds, three assists, and a steal during Friday's 117-105 preseason loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
Siakam led Toronto with his nine boards, finishing just one shy of posting a double double Friday. The big man wasn't great from the floor, but made up for it by shooting over 50% from three point land to finish with the second most points on the team in the loss.
Dec 15, 2020
Plays 23 minutes Monday
Siakam scored 12 pts (5-7 FG, 2-4 3PT), had three assists, and five rebounds during 23 minutes of Monday's 112-109 preseason win over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Siakam played well on Monday, leading Toronto in minutes during the tune up win over the Hornets. The forward is coming off a career year in the 2019-20 season and could be set to improve again as one of the focal points of the Raports' lineup in the new campaign. Siakam finished the game with the second highest amount of rebounds and assists on the team.
Sep 12, 2020
Puts up double-double in loss
Siakam totaled 13 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and a block in 42 minutes of Friday's 92-87 Game 7 loss to Boston
ANALYSIS
Siakam notched his second double-double of the series despite the defeat. In the seven games, he struggled to score as much as he had during the regular season, averaging 14.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists.
Sep 9, 2020
Another rough night in Game 6 win
Siakam had 12 points (5-19 FG, 0-5 3PT, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals in Wednesday's double-overtime Game 6 win over Boston.
ANALYSIS
The Celtics have done well to stifle Siakam for most of the series, and that was the case again Wednesday. Siakam, who played a game-high 54 minutes, missed several key shots late in regulation and overtime and had some untimely turnovers down the stretch. Nonetheless, the Raptors found a way to force a Game 7, so expect Siakam to play a key role Friday night.
Sep 7, 2020
Quiet in blowout loss
Siakam had just 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3PT) and four rebounds in Monday's Game 5 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
Siakam played well in the Raptors' Game 4 victory, but he struggled in Game 5, posting his lowest point total since Nov. 29. For the most part, Boston has been able to contain Siakam, holding him to just 15.8 points per game for the series.
Sep 6, 2020
Posts double-double
Siakam delivered 23 points (10-23 FG, 2-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists in 46 minutes during Saturday's Game 4 win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has notched three double-doubles in the playoffs thus far and he has scored at least 15 points in each of Toronto's last three contests. Siakam should abandon the three-point experiment to boost his scoring figures -- he has made just 16.7 percent of his treys in four games against Boston -- but, all things considered, the star power forward seems to be rounding into form after a slow start to the series in Game 1, where he scored 13 points while shooting 5-for-16 from the field.
Sep 1, 2020
Stuffs stat sheet in loss
Siakam posted 17 points (6-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, three steals and a block in 44 minutes during Tuesday's 102-99 Game 2 loss against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has averaged 15.0 points in the first two games of Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Celtics, but he is making just 34.3 percent of his shots against one of the top defensive units in the NBA during the regular season. The struggles have been there during the entirety of the playoffs, though -- Siakam has topped the 20-point mark just once in six postseason games so far after averaging 22.9 points per contest during the regular season.
Aug 30, 2020
Struggles in series-opening loss
Siakam had 13 points (5-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in Sunday's Game 1 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was never able to settle in offensively, hitting just five of his 16 field goal attempts, while going 0-of-3 from beyond the arc on an afternoon when Toronto shot just 37 percent from the field as a team. It was a rough start to the series, but Siakam was coming off of a strong showing in Round 1, when he posted 20.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game in the Raptors' sweep of Brooklyn.
Aug 27, 2020
Game 1 vs. Boston postponed
Thursday's scheduled game between the Raptors and Celtics has been postponed, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
While the league's players have reportedly opted to resume the playoffs, all three of Thursday's games will be postponed. Shams Charania of The Athletic notes that players expect games to resume as early as Friday.
Aug 23, 2020
Leads starting five with 20 points
Siakam compiled 20 points (9-22 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 assists, six rebounds and two steals across 32 minutes in Sunday's 150-122 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Siakam put up an excellent FP total despite a lukewarm shooting night. His 10 assists marked a season-high for the talented forward, who continues to distinguish himself as one of the most versatile wing players in the league.
Aug 21, 2020
Team-high 26 points
Siakam posted 26 points (11-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 117-92 Game 3 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Siakam scored a team-high 26 points in the decisive victory -- one in which the Nets never led. The performance marked the 19th time this season Siakam has scored at least 26 points.
Aug 19, 2020
Puts up 19 points, six boards
Siakam had 19 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3PT, 5-9 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in Wednesday's Game 2 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Toronto had only two players hit at least 50 percent of their field goal attempts on an afternoon when it shot just 43.7 percent from the field as a team. Siakam's 6-of-14 performance wasn't spectacular, but he added enough supplementary numbers to salvage a solid fantasy performance. In Game 1 on Monday, Siakam finished with an 18-point, 11-rebound double-double in 31 minutes.
Aug 14, 2020
Won't play Friday
Siakam was ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets for rest.
ANALYSIS
Siakam put up 15 points (5-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-7 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one block in 29 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Sixers, and that will be his final regular season game with the Raptors set to take on the Nets in the first round of the playoffs next week. Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet will also rest, while OG Anunoby (knee) and Serge Ibaka (knee) are doubtful, leaving the reserves to fill most of Toronto's minutes Friday.
Aug 10, 2020
Scores 14 in win
Siakam had 14 points (5-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven boards, two assists and two steals in 28 minutes of a 114-106 win against the Bucks on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Siakam played fewer than 30 minutes for just the second time since the restart and saw his points fall in his team's win. But the fourth year pro still managed a well-rounded night across the stat sheet in the rematch of last season's Eastern Conference finals. He'll face the 76ers on Wednesday.
Aug 9, 2020
Scores 26 in win
Siakam went for 26 points (9-16 FG 4-9 3PT, 4-6 FT) in Sunday's win over Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Siakam once again led the way for Toronto, which shot 47.9 percent from the field as a team and hit 15 three-pointers. Siakam also chipped in three assists, one rebound, one steal and one block in 36 minutes.
Aug 5, 2020
Goes for 15 points
Siakam notched 15 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 109-99 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has scored at least 15 points in his three games since the restart, but he hasn't been accurate when doing so -- he is hitting just 39.5 percent of his shots from the field in that span. He should continue to produce, but he needs to improve his shooting percentages as soon as possible to remain a top-notch fantasy asset across most formats.
Aug 3, 2020
Puts up 22 in win
Siakam had 22 points (7-14 FG, 4-7 3PT, 4-4 FT) and six boards in Monday's win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors had only four players in double-figures, with Siakam and Fred VanVleet combining for 58 points to lead the starting unit. Siakam bounced back from the field after hitting just five of 17 attempts in Toronto's win over the Lakers on Saturday.
Jul 28, 2020
Leads team with 17 points
Siakam provided 17 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and an assist across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 117-106 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors sported a slightly different look on Tuesday, shifting Siakam to small forward and putting Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol in the frontcourt together. The switch gave Siakam a few more perimeter looks, and he delivered by rattling in four treys in the contest. If the Raptors employ this scheme more often, it can only help Siakam's numbers with his floor-stretching ability.
Jul 26, 2020
Productive in scrimmage
Siakam had 18 points (5-13 FG, 3-9 3PT, 5-6 FT) and six rebounds in Sunday's scrimmage against Portland.
ANALYSIS
Siakam came out aggressively and took a team-high 13 shots in just 25 minutes of action. The New Mexico product also added an assist, while posting a plus-16 rating.
Jul 24, 2020
Posts 13 in 18 minutes
Siakam produced 13 points (5-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebound and two steals across 18 minutes in Friday's 94-83 scrimmage win over the Rockets in Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was enjoying the best season of his four-year career before play halted in March, averaging 23.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists over 53 games. With the Raptors comfortably seed for the postseason, Siakam will be the cornerstone of their attack on both sides of the ball as they attempt to repeat as NBA champions.
Mar 10, 2020
Double-doubles Monday
Siakam amassed 27 points (9-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds and eight assists in 39 minutes during Monday's 101-92 victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Siakam was magnificent for the Raptors who pulled out one of their more impressive victories of the season. The shorthanded Raptors were already without a number of players and lost Norman Powell (ankle) to an injury after only two minutes. Against all odds, they were able to roll a full-strength Jazz outfit on their own home floor. Siakam continues to put together a fantastic season and is certainly in the discussion for the most-improved player, an award he currently owns.
Mar 4, 2020
Leads way in victory
Siakam amassed 33 points (12-20 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 43 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
The upstart forward topped 30 points for the 15th time this year, drilling five treys in the process. For Siakam, It was a nice rebound from his woeful 6-21 shooting performance in Sunday's loss to Denver. While the fourth-year pro's slowed in his production during the second half of the season, he remains the focal point for the Raptors' offense and continues to generate All-NBA type numbers.
Mar 2, 2020
Inefficient in loss
Siakam ended with 16 points (6-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block in 40 minutes during Sunday's 133-118 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
Siakam's shot went missing Sunday, shooting under 40 percent for the second straight game. He has been called upon to do a lot of the heavy lifting with a number of productive options on the sideline. The increased responsibility has certainly impacted his shot selection; however, his free-throw shooting has certainly improved over time.
Feb 26, 2020
Pops for team-high 22 in loss
Siakam scored a team-high 22 points (6-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-7 FT) while adding six rebounds, three assists and a block in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 108-97 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
It was another big night from beyond the arc for Siakam. He's drained at least five three-pointers in three of his last five games, averaging 26.0 points, 6.8 boards, 3.6 assists, 3.6 threes and 1.2 blocks over that stretch.
Feb 22, 2020
Big double-double in win
Siakam scored a game-high 37 points (12-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT) while adding 12 rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 38 minutes during Friday's 118-101 win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old came out of the break firing after making his first All-Star Game appearance. Siakam's double-double was his first since Jan. 22, while the blocks were his highest total since he swatted away four Jan. 18. He's still been plenty productive lately though, averaging 23.4 points, 7.9 boards, 3.7 assists, 2.0 threes, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks through seven games in February.
Feb 11, 2020
Pours in game-high 34 in wild win
Siakam scored a game-high 34 points (14-21 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT) while adding six rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block in 37 minutes during Monday's 137-126 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
With his first All-Star appearance on the horizon, Siakam isn't taking his foot off the gas. He's hit for 30 or more points three times in the last nine games, averaging 24.3 points, 7.1 boards, 3.3 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.2 steals over that stretch.
Feb 7, 2020
Will return Friday
Siakam (eye) is available to return to Friday's game against the Pacers, Scott Agness of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam exited the contest prior to halftime after getting poked in the eye. He was subsequently given a questionable designation in regards to a potential return. It turns out the issue was not serious and he has been cleared to play.
Feb 7, 2020
Questionable to return
Siakam is considered questionable to return to Friday's game against the Pacers after getting poked in the eye, Mike Ganter of the Toronto Sun reports
ANALYSIS
The severity of Siakam's eye injury is unknown at this time. Expect an update once the team provides more clarity on the situation.
Feb 6, 2020
Pops for 25 against Pacers
Siakam scored 25 points (7-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 10-11 FT) while adding nine rebounds, five assists and three steals in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 119-118 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old isn't resting on his laurels as he heads towards his first All-Star Game appearance. Over the Raptors' current franchise-record 12-game winning streak. Siakam is averaging 21.3 points, 7.1 boards, 3.2 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.3 steals.
Jan 31, 2020
Pours in 30 against Pistons
Siakam scored a game-high 30 points (12-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT) while adding seven rebounds, four assists and a block in 36 minutes during Friday's 105-92 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old drained his first five shots of the night en route to a 13-point first quarter, and the Raptors never looked back. Over the course of the team's current 10-game winning streak, Siakam is averaging 21.4 points, 6.7 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.5 threes, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks.
Jan 30, 2020
Matches career high in steals
Siakam racked up 19 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds, four steals, two assists and one block in 34 minutes during Thursday's 115-109 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Siakam equaled his career high in steals while contributing across every statistical category. Though he has cooled off a bit here in January after an absolutely sensational start to the season, Siakam is still among the top options across all fantasy formats.
Jan 28, 2020
Drops 24 against Hawks
Siakam scored 24 points (8-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-10 FT) while adding nine rebounds, two assists and a block in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 130-114 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The All-Star forward has scored more than 20 points in three straight games, and in nine games since returning from a groin strain, Siakam is averaging 20.0 points, 6.7 boards, 2.9 assists, 1.6 threes, 0.9 blocks and 0.8 steals. Injuries continue to bedevil the Raptors -- Marc Gasol (hamstring) and O.G. Anunoby (shoulder) both left Tuesday's game early -- but as long as Siakam stays healthy he should remain a dynamic fantasy asset, and one of the focal points of the team's offense.
Jan 25, 2020
Scores most points since return
Siakam totaled 23 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and a block across 33 minutes during a 118-112 win over the Knicks on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Siakam received his first All-Star selection after being announced as an Eastern Conference starter on Thursday. The 25-year-old showcased why he deserved the nomination, especially at the end, sinking a three with 22 seconds remaining to cement Toronto another win. The fourth-year forward had been partially restricted since his Jan. 12 return from a groin injury but is now averaging 19 points and 56.6 percent shooting through his last four away games.
Jan 23, 2020
Posts double-double
Siakam scored 18 points (8-23 FG, 1-8 3PT, 1-2 FT) and added 15 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 107-95 win over Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Siakam did not have a good night in terms of field-goal percentage or from three-point land but ultimately did enough to help the team to victory. His 15 boards were the most he's had since the first game of the season.
Jan 20, 2020
Puts up 18 in win
Siakam had 18 points (6-13 FG, 0-4 3PT, 6-7 FT) and six rebounds in Monday's win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Siakam also added one assist, one steal and one block to his ledger in 29 minutes of action. He's been effective in five games since returning from injury, but it's worth noting that the Raptors appear to be keeping a closer eye on his workload. Siakam is yet to exceed 30 minutes in any of those five contests after he averaged 36.7 minutes per game before his injury.
Jan 18, 2020
Scores 14, swats four shots
Siakam put up 14 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in a win over the Timberwlves on Saturday, adding four rebounds, four blocks and three assists in 24 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Through the three games prior to this one since his return from an 11-game absence due to a groin injury, Siakam has put up 16.0 points, 3.7 boards, 3.7 assists, 1.3 triples and 1.3 steals per game on 43.9 percent shooting. This contest was the second game of a back-to-back set, and saw Siakam get 24 minutes on his way to a solid outing in that amount of time. His recent averages should continue to rise as he gets back into form.
Jan 15, 2020
Scores 21 points
Siakam had 21 points (9-15 FG, 1-2 3PT, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 win at the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Siakam improved his efficiency in his second outing returning from an 11-game absence, as he was coming off a 6-of-17 effort Sunday against the Spurs. The star power forward must shake off the rust after being sidelined for more than three weeks, but he has a favorable matchup Friday at home against the Wizards where he could be in line for another strong performance as one of Toronto's main scoring threats.
Jan 12, 2020
Logs 30 minutes in return to action
Siakam had 15 points (6-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Sunday's 105-104 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Siakam returned to the lineup following an 11-game absence with a strained groin and struggled with his shot. Considering he was expected to be on some sort of minutes limit, Siakam saw a pretty heavy load of playing time. He'll now have a couple days to rest and recover in advance of Wednesday's tilt versus the Thunder.
Jan 12, 2020
Will start Sunday
Siakam (groin) will start Sunday against the Spurs but be on a minutes limit, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has missed the last 11 games with the issue. He will see less time than he is accustomed to against the Spurs but will look to get back to his usual routine in short order.
Jan 11, 2020
Considered questionable
Siakam (groin) has been deemed questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam has been sidelined with a groin strain since Dec. 18. He returned to practice Friday, and while his questionable designation for the team's upcoming game is an optimistic sign, coach Nick Nurse indicated it might be, "a bit ambitious." Even if he does not get the green light to play against the Spus it appears as though he is nearing a return.
Jan 10, 2020
Returning to practice Friday
Siakam (groin) is expected to practice Friday and could rejoin the lineup sometime next week, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old was able to partake in light, on-court drills Monday, and a return to practice would be a significant step towards being cleared for game action. Siakam has been sidelined by the groin strain since Dec. 18 and likely will face a minutes restriction upon his return to the lineup, which appears to be on the horizon.
Jan 6, 2020
Goes through on-court work
Siakam (groin) was spotted taking part in light on-court work Monday, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Siakam still has no official timetable for return, his ability to participate in light on-court drills is a positive step in his recovery from a groin strain that's kept him out since Dec. 20th. Barring any setbacks, Siakam could take on more advanced drills later in the week, though the Raptors are expected to treat their star forward with the utmost caution.
Jan 4, 2020
Still 'a ways away' from return
Siakam (groin), according to coach Nick Nurse, is still "a ways away" from returning, Mike Ganter of the Toronto Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
This is discouraging news for fantasy owners who have Siakam on their roster, as there has been essentially no word of Siakam making significant progress in his recovery. He remains without a firm timetable for a return. Siakam is too good to drop in the vast majority of fantasy formats, and those without injured reserve spots in their leagues are essentially just down one bench spot.
Jan 2, 2020
Still out with groin injury
Siakam (groin) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Siakam hasn't played since Dec. 18 due to a strained groin and remains without a concrete timeline to return to the court. Until reports surface suggesting that Siakam has resumed taking full contact in practice, his availability for game action shouldn't be viewed as imminent. Siakam's ongoing absence has opened up extra playing time for Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and OG Anunoby at power forward.
Dec 19, 2019
Out indefinitely with groin injury
Siakam has been ruled out indefinitely after suffering a groin injury Wednesday against the Pistons, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Siakam managed to log 35 minutes Wednesday night, but after being re-evaluated Thursday, the team has announced that he'll remain sidelined until further notice. A timeline for the big man's return should come to light in the near future. With Siakam out of commission, look for Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Serge Ibaka to see more minutes.
