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.
EDGE 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 in the road for the star forward, however, who remains the best player for the Raptors this season. Siakam is averaging 25.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game across seven December games.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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 the 2022-2023 campaign.

Siakam (adductor) 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.
EDGE Analysis
Suiting up for the first time since Nov. 4 against Dallas, Siakam delivered a solid all-around fantasy line. Siakam has now scored 15 or more points with five or more rebounds and assists in nine straight games.

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.
EDGE 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 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.

Siakam (adductor) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's matchup against the Cavaliers, Danny Cunningham of 850 ESPN Cleveland reports.
EDGE 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.

Siakam (adductor) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE 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.
