EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
It was the 28-year-old's best scoring performance since he erupted 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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam didn't have his best shooting performance, but he still delivered a decent overall fantasy line and scored at least 19 points for a ninth straight contest. It remains to be seen if the Raptors will part ways with Siakam before the Feb. 9 trade deadline, and a potential change of scenery could certainly impact his fantasy value. However, as long as he remains Toronto, he'll be the Raptors' best fantasy asset. Siakam is averaging 22.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 0.7 blocks per game since the start of January (19 games).

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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 unlikely to lose his role as the Raptors' go-to playmaker anytime soon.

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.
EDGE 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.

EDGE Analysis
Siakam wasn't shy on the offensive end and put up a game-high 29 points. 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.

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.
EDGE 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 give 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.
