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.
EDGE 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, but he's still averaging 24.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists over six games.

Siakam (back) is available for Friday's game against the Jazz, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE 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.

Siakam (back) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game versus the Jazz.
EDGE 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.

Siakam (back) went through shootaround ahead of Friday's game versus the Jazz, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam is officially listed as questionable for Friday's contest due to back spasms. However, the 29-year-old forward's participation in the team's morning shootaround is a good sign of his availability against Utah.

Siakam (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
EDGE 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.

Siakam is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to back spasms, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE 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 unavailable.

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.
EDGE 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 have 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.

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.
EDGE 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 forward 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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam led all players in Monday's contest in scoring and threes made while logging a team-high minutes 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, and he has surpassed the 35-point mark in four outings.
