Siakam managed 33 points (13-24 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes during Monday's 133-113 win over the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam scored at least 30 points for the 10th time and also drained five treys (career high) for the fifth time through 26 appearances this season. He posted 30 or more five times across 80 appearances in 2018-19, and moreover Siakam continues to showcase substantial improvement across most categories, with career-high per-game averages in points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks and threes.

Siakam scored a game-high 30 points (10-26 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-10 FT) while adding 10 rebounds, five assists, three steals and three blocks in 35 minutes during Saturday's 110-102 win over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors had uncharacteristically lost three straight games at home, but Siakam made sure that mini-slump came to an end with an impressive effort at both ends of the court. The double-double was his ninth of the season, and he's also popped for 30 points or more nine times in 25 games as he emerges as a true star, not just a supporting player, in Toronto.

Siakam scored 22 points (7-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT) while adding six rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block in 39 minutes during Monday's 93-92 win over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old led all scorers on the night as he dropped 20 or more points for the sixth time in the last 10 games. Siakam is averaging 23.0 points, 8.2 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.2 threes, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks over that stretch, slightly down from his numbers on the season. He'll need to be at his best Wednesday when Kawhi Leonard and his new Clipper teammates come to Toronto.

Siakam managed 16 points (7-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 110-104 loss to the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam struggled offensively, as the 76ers did a decent job keeping him outside of the paint plus he couldn't buy a bucket from deep. Monday's bout versus the Bulls projects as a much friendlier matchup, and it's possible Siakam will be relied upon even more than usual if Fred VanVleet (knee) is held out.

Siakam posted 24 points (9-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 36 minutes during Thursday's 119-109 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam struggled from the field but contributed across every category. Last year's Most Improved Player is somehow among the most improved players once again, raising his level of play and stepping up to the challenge of being a number one option offensively. While he has endured three subpar shooting performances in his last four appearances, Siakam remains of the league's most versatile and high-level players.

Siakam totaled 35 points (14-22 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 130-110 victory over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam torched the Jazz, pouring in 35 points including five triples. The Raptors blew this game out early and were never troubled during arguably their most impressive victory of the season. Despite Kyle Lowry (thumb) and Serge Ibaka (ankle) missing extended periods, the Raptors still sit second in the Eastern Conference, much to the surprise of many basketball fans. Siakam is putting up second-round value and has to be in consideration for his second consecutive most-improved player award.

Siakam scored a team-high 25 points (9-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT) while adding seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal in 40 minutes during Monday's 101-96 win over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors trailed for much of the game, but when crunch time came Siakam stepped up -- he took the ball into the lane on a spinning drive, drew contact from Joel Embiid and converted the three-point play to give Toronto the lead with just over a minute left, then ended the night with a massive dunk at the buzzer. One season after being named the league's Most Improved Player, Siakam is blossoming into a true superstar, posting numbers comparable to those former teammate Kawhi Leonard is currently giving the Clippers.

Siakam accounted for 34 points (11-18 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal across 40 minutes Saturday against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam topped 30 points for the sixth time this year, emerging from a minor three-game slump in which he shot just 35.7 percent. He's taken a huge leap forward in his fourth professional season and is on pace to average nearly eight points and two rebounds more than he did a year ago. Siakam's inserted himself into the MVP conversation by virtue of his remarkable leap and has provided season-long averages of 25.1 points, 8.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 36.7 minutes per game so far.

Siakam scored 18 points (7-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt. 3-4 FT) while adding 11 rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 113-97 win over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Unfortunately for Orlando, Nik Vucevic and Aaron Gordon both left the game in the second quarter with ankle injuries, giving the team few options to match up against Siakam in the second half. The double-double was the 25-year-old's sixth of the season, but it's Siakam's consistency on offense that's been truly impressive -- he's scored at least 15 points in every game so far, while sinking at least one three-pointer in every game but one.

Siakam tallied 36 points (15-28 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 41 minutes Wednesday in the Raptors' 114-106 win over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors' taxing schedule of late seemed to wear on Siakam, who put up a combined 35 points in Toronto's Sunday/Monday back-to-back set with the Los Angeles teams, but shot just 35.7 percent from the field while handling 40-plus minutes in both contests. Siakam's workload was heavy again Wednesday, but the day off beforehand seemed to be beneficial, as he responded nicely with an efficient outing from the field. With Kahwi Leonard now with the Clippers and Kyle Lowry (thumb) sidelined, Siakam has predictably seen his field-goal percentage fall this season while commanding more attention from the opposition, but his 49.1 percent mark is still quite useful.
