Siakam (rest) will not play Friday against Orlando, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

Siakam will not play in Saturday's game against the Cavaliers for rest purposes, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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 on Wednesday, so Siakam and his teammates may be able to right the ship.
