Siakam went for 26 points (8-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), eight rebounds and two assists in Sunday's loss to Portland.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam continues to score the ball well, as he's topped 20 points in four straight games and five of his last six. He's worked his way to the line effectively of late, attempting 30 free throws (and hitting 26) over his last three games alone. Siakam can be prone to inconsistency, but he should remain a strong fantasy option throughout the second half as the Raptors chase a playoff spot.

Siakam totaled 26 points (8-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes Friday in the loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam has been on fire over his last three games, though it hasn't translated to wins for the Raptors. Still, for fantasy managers, three straight 20-point outings along with two double-doubles and two games with six assists has to feel good. One negative for Siakam has been his shooting from distance. In this three-game span, he's shot just 25.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Siakam registered 27 points (8-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in 34 minutes during Wednesday's blowout 135-111 victory over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old posted a gem stat line while helping the Raptors snap a nine-game losing streak on Wednesday. Siakam has been posting high-end numbers since returning from a six-game absence due to COVID-19 protocols, averaging 19.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.0 steals over his last five games. Siakam should continue playing heavy minutes for a Raptors team that's fighting for a playoff spot.

Siakam produced 21 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, a steal and a blocked shot across 36 minutes in Monday's 117-99 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
It was a nice bounce-back game for Siakam after a tepid game against the Cavaliers. Siakam has had some issues with consistency since his six-game absence, but it isn't a huge concern for those who depend on Siakam in fantasy formats. He should return to steadier production in short order as the team seeks to end their nine-game skid.

Siakam tallied 13 points (3-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 116-112 loss to the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors welcomed back a host of players including Siakam who was playing his first game in almost a month. The rust was evident but the fact he played in excess of 30 minutes is an indication that his conditioning is at a reasonable level. It will take him a few games to get back to where he was prior to the enforced layoff, although, the Raptors need to start winning some games and so he should be activated in all formats.

Siakam (COVID-19 protocols) has been cleared to return for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam was cleared to take part in practice Tuesday, and he'll be one of four Raptors to rejoin the roster after missing the last six games due to COVID-19 protocols. Given that Siakam hasn't played since Feb. 24, he'll have a minutes restriction, but coach Nick Nurse did not set a particular number.

Siakam (COVID-19 protocols) has been cleared to practice with the Raptors on Tuesday night and is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam hasn't played since Feb. 24 while going through protocols, but his return is imminent. Along with Siakam, Patrick McCaw and Malachi Flynn are questionable, while Fred VanVleet is doubtful and OG Anunoby is out -- all due to health and safety protocols. If Siakam is cleared Wednesday, it's possible he'll be on a minutes limit.

Siakam (COVID-19 protocols) will not play Sunday against the Bulls, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam wasn't expected to play Sunday, but his absence became official with the team ruling him out of his sixth consecutive game. Chris Boucher should be in line for an increased workload once again with Siakam out.

Siakam (COVID-19 protocols) isn't expected to be available Sunday at Chicago, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old is missing his fifth straight game Saturday against the Hornets, and the absence is expected to extend to six contests Sunday. Siakam is one of five Toronto players sidelined due to the health and safety protocols, and none of them are expected to return against the Bulls. Their next chance to return to action will be Wednesday at Detroit.

Siakam (COVID-19 protocols) is out for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam will miss his fifth straight game while working through the league's health and safety protocols. Lewenberg reports that it's unlikely he'll be available Sunday, for the second game of Toronto's back-to-back against Chicago. Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn and Patrick McCaw are all in the same boat and have also been ruled out for Saturday.
