Siakam closed with a game-high 33 points (12-22 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 127-115 win over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old continues to come up big for the Raptors. Siakam has scored at least 20 points in six straight games, averaging 27.3 points, 7.2 boards, 4.7 assists, 1.5 threes and 1.0 steals over that stretch as Toronto tries to climb out of the play-in tournament and lock up a playoff spot.

Siakam finished with 25 points (10-24 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 assists, seven rebounds and one steal across 41 minutes Friday in the Raptors' 117-112 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Though he failed to hit at least half of his shots from the field for the third game in a row, Siakam relied on heavy volume to extend his streak of 20-plus-point outings to five. While Siakam's season-long percentages from the field (48.1 percent) and the free-throw line (74 percent) lag behind most starting big men in the league, he's been an excellent fantasy option thanks largely to his ability to put up stats in a variety of ways. On a night where he finished below his season averages in rebounds, steals and blocks, Siakam salved his line by posting his most assists since Jan. 25.

Siakam finished with 20 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 119-104 victory over San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off two straight games with 20-plus shot attempts and a combined 21 trips to the free-throw line, Siakam saw his usage trend down a bit with Fred VanVleet (knee) returning to action. He still managed to reach the 20-point mark for the fourth game in a row, and the flawless showing from the charity stripe was a welcome sight following a 7-for-13 outing in the Raptors' previous game Sunday.

Siakam recorded 34 points (13-20 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 14 rebounds and two assists across 40 minutes during Friday's 103-97 loss to the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam had been limited to single-digit boards in each of his last three appearances, but he bounced back Friday en route to his second double-double in the last five games. Across those five appearances, he's averaged 20.4 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 37.0 minutes per game. While Siakam's fantasy upside has been limited by his inconsistency on the boards, he's maintained a relatively solid floor due to his well-rounded production.

Siakam accumulated 18 points (7-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal in 35 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 109-108 win over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam got things back on track, at least to some degree, with a reasonably strong performance Tuesday. After rolling out one of the best stretches of his career to end the month of January, Siakam has seen his offensive game suffer since returning from the All-Star break. Luckily for fantasy managers, he is usually able to compensate by delivering on the defensive end of the floor. As soon as he figures out a way to combine his talents, he should go back to being an elite fantasy asset once again.

Siakam (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam still isn't feeling 100 percent due to flu-like symptoms that caused him to land on the injury report, but it appears that he feels good enough to play Saturday against Atlanta. The 27-year-old is averaging 21.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.3 steals in 37.6 minutes per game this season.

Siakam is questionable for Saturday's game against Atlanta due to a non-COVID illness, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam served in his usual starting role during Friday's loss to Charlotte, and he logged eight points, three rebounds, two assists and a steal in 27 minutes. If he's unavailable for the second half of the back-to-back set, Precious Achiuwa, Khem Birch and Thaddeus Young should see increased roles.

Siakam finished Wednesday's 103-91 victory over the Timberwolves with 17 points (7-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 41 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam didn't have his best shooting output, but he ended just one rebound and away assist away from recording what would've been his first triple-double of the campaign. The ability to contribute at both ends has always been there for Siakam, though, and he's averaging 25.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game over his last nine appearances.

Siakam recorded 18 points (7-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 33 minutes during Monday's 120-90 loss to New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam might have ended with a decent stat line, but he delivered a woeful shooting performance and ended with more field-goal attempts than points scored. The star big man ended a streak of six games with at least 20 points, a span in which he also recorded four double-doubles.
