Siakam scored 10 points (2-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT) with seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in a 116-103 loss to the Nets on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam had scored 20-plus points in five consecutive games prior to Tuesday's inefficient showing. Statistically, it was the forward's worst shooting performance of the season, though he did shoot a perfect percentage from the line for the first time since April 11. Expect Siakam to bounce back in his next game, as he has averaged 23.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists across his last six contests.

Siakam went for 25 points (11-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and a block in Monday's win over the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors made some strange personnel decisions earlier in April, but with most of their regulars available Monday, they were able to bounce back from an ugly, 17-point loss so the Knicks on Saturday. Siakam has scored at least 25 points in three straight games -- something he's done only one other time this season.

Siakam accumulated 26 points (8-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Saturday's 120-103 loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old has been on fire since returning from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury, averaging 26.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 3.5 three-pointers and 1.5 steals while shooting 47.4 percent from the field. With the Raptors slipping to the twelfth seed in the Eastern Conference, Siakam is in danger of sitting out more games down the stretch. With Toronto playing in back-to-back sets starting Monday, it wouldn't be surprising to see the fifth-year forward sit out at least one of those games.

Siakam notched 27 points (10-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old sat out the past two games due to a combination of rest and inflammation in his left shoulder, but he didn't seem bothered and carried Toronto offensively -- he led the team in minutes played, points, rebounds, assists and steals. Siakam has now scored at least 20 points in seven of his last eight contests.

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.
