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 preseason win over the Kings.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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. 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.

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.

Siakam is out for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to rest.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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 a team-high four steals. The veteran big man has been racking up a lot of thefts lately, averaging 2.5 per game in the month of April.

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.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam notched a double-double for the seventh time in his last 11 appearances and is starting to see his efficiency trend back up again after his shooting had been a bit off the mark when the calendar flipped to 2023. He's converted on 52 percent of his field-goal tries and 79.4 percent of his trips to the free-throw line over that 11-game stretch, well up from his rates of 46.2 and 76.1 percent through the first two and a half months of 2023.

EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam's scoring was inconsistent in March, partially due to poor three-point shooting (25.9 percent). However, his floor remains high because he can stuff the stat sheet. Closing out the month, he averaged 19.9 points, 8.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 37.7 minutes.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.
