Siakam (COVID-19 protocols) will not be available for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
COVID-19 protocols kept Siakam out of the final three games before the break, and he'll now miss at least one more contest -- as will Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn and Patrick McCaw. The hope is that all five will be cleared before the Raptors' Saturday/Sunday back-to-back against Charlotte and Chicago, but as of now, it's unclear when they'll be given the green light. Toronto started Aron Baynes, Stanley Johnson, DeAndre' Bembry, Norman Powell and Kyle Lowry in the final game before the All-Star break.

Siakam (COVID-19 protocols) will not play before the All-Star break, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Due to health and safety protocols, Siakam will miss the Raptors' final three games leading up to the break. With Siakam sidelined Friday against the Rockets, Chris Boucher drew the start, and there's a good chance he'll remain in the lineup across the next three games. DeAndre' Bembry also saw extra time, playing 23 minutes. Yuta Watanabe played 17 minutes.

Siakam is out for Friday's game against the Rockets due to health and safety protocols.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors coaching staff is dealing with COVID-19 protocols, too, and coach Nick Nurse won't be on the sidelines. Without Siakam, look for Chris Boucher, Stanley Johnson and DeAndre' Bembry to see extra run.

Siakam recorded five points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists and two rebounds in the Raptors' 116-108 loss to the Heat on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam had a very underwhelming performance, scoring a season-low five points while also grabbing a season-low two rebounds. Additionally, he didn't play in the fourth quarter leading to a season-low 24 minutes. Despite the rough night, the forward is still having a great month of February, averaging 20.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

Siakam had 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven assists, six rebounds, three steals and a block across 42 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam struggled a bit with his shot from three-point range, but he still delivered a solid performance across the board while also coming close to a double-double. Siakam endured a tough start to the season but has turned things around in recent weeks, scoring at least 20 points in seven of his last nine games.

Siakam scored 23 points (8-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding eight assists, seven rebounds and one steal over 41 minutes in Sunday's victory over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam has added at least five rebounds and five assists in five straight games while extending his consecutive games streak with a steal to 13. He's struggled with his shot, hitting under 45 percent in four of his last five games but is on par with his shooting percentage for all of last season.

Siakam totaled 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and three blocked shots in an 86-81 victory versus the Timberwolves on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam was uncharacteristically quiet on the offensive end, finishing with his lowest point total in over a month. However, the forward made his mark on the glass with nine rebounds and dished six assists while registering a season-best three blocks. Siakam's scoring is down a bit this season at 20.8 points per game, but he is posting career-high per-game marks in boards (7.7), dimes (4.5) and steals (1.2).

Siakam provided 27 points (9-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two blocked shots and a steal across 38 minutes in Thursday's 110-96 win over the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam turned in a great all-around performance despite an odd night off the glass . The team netted only two offensive rebounds in the game yet managed a convincing victory anyway. That statistical deficiency is one reason for his slight regression in rebounding numbers after grabbing 13 boards against Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Siakam posted 23 points (8-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 124-113 win over the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam posted his seventh double-double of the season Tuesday, and it marked his third double-double of the season with at least six assists. The performance adds to a great streak of games that Siakam has been on. In the six games prior to Tuesday, Siakam was averaging 24.5 points on 17.8 shots, 6.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.8 combined steals-plus-blocks.

Siakam finished with 18 points (6-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block Sunday in the Raptors' 116-112 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam's ability to check off every column of the box score salvaged what was a poor night on the offensive end. Fantasy managers should grant Siakam some leeway after he had been red hot from the field over his last three games, averaging 27.0 points while converting on 62.5 percent of his three-point attempts and 56 percent of his shots overall.
