Siakam notched 22 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT) while adding six rebounds, three assists and a block across 33 minutes in Monday's 126-114 loss against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Siakam fouled out in his previous appearance and had already missed a game due to punishment from the coaching staff, so he's been under scrutiny in the early going of the season. He bounced back admirably in this one, though, as he put up his best scoring effort of the season. He will try to build off this performance when the Raptors visit the Suns on Wednesday.

Siakam produced 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, an assist and a steal across 25 minutes in Saturday's 120-116 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Siakam made an early exit, committing his sixth foul with 8:30 left in the fourth quarter. It was a rocky return for the forward after missing his last game for disciplinary reasons. Although he's currently in a rough patch, Siakam should get back to his usual numbers sooner rather than later, especially with Toronto's current deficiencies at the center position.

Siakam (not injury related) will play Saturday against the Pelicans, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Siakam will play Saturday after sitting out Thursday's win over the Knicks due to disciplinary reasons. In three games, he is averaging 18.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 39.0 minutes.

Siakam (not injury related) is not on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Siakam was a late scratch for Thursday's game against the Knicks due to disciplinary reasons, and it's a good sign that he's not on the injury report for Saturday's game. It's still a good idea to keep an eye out for his status, but it would be surprising if his punishment lasted more than one game.

Raptors head coach Nick Nurse said after Thursday's 100-83 win over the Knicks that Siakam didn't dress for the contest due to a "disciplinary thing for an internal matter," Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Nurse didn't say so explicitly, Siakam's health scratch was likely the result of him electing to head to the locker room in Tuesday's loss to the 76ers rather than joining his teammates on the bench after he fouled out with 25 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. According to Lewenberg, Siakam "accepted the action [the team] chose to take" for his actions, and the expectation is that the All-Star forward will be back in the lineup Saturday in New Orleans. Those planning on using Siakam in DFS or season-long leagues with daily lineup changes will still want to confirm the 26-year-old is back in the starting five ahead of Saturday's 7:30 p.m. ET opening tip.

Siakam won't dress for Thursday's game against the Knicks for a non-injury related reason, Mike Ganter of the Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Siakam was surprisingly left out of the Raptors' starting five Thursday, but he was still listed as active by the team. However, he'll reportedly be in street clothes for the contest, so he won't appear on the floor. Norman Powell will start in his place against the Knicks, and it's not yet clear whether Siakam could return against the Pelicans on Saturday.

Siakam is technically active for Thursday's game against the Knicks but will be in street clothes, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is an odd, last-minute decision by coach Nick Nurse, and Norman Powell will get the start. More information may arrive after the game.

Siakam is coming off the bench for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Luca Rosano of Raps Report reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear why Siakam isn't in the starting five. He hasn't been deemed out. There's a chance it's disciplinary after he left the court early during Tuesday's loss to the 76ers.

Siakam scored 20 points (8-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt) while adding six rebounds, two steals and a block in 35 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 100-93 loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

It's the second time in three games Siakam has hit for 20 points, and he registered a double-double in the one in which he missed that mark. Despite the solid scoring numbers, the 26-year-old has struggled to find his shot to begin the season, suggesting even more impressive performances are on the horizon. Siakam will look to help the Raptors collect their first win of the season when they host the Knicks on Thursday.

Siakam posted 16 points (6-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 15 rebounds, eight assists, a steal and a block across 43 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Siakam ended the game as Toronto's third-highest scorer, but he paced the team in rebounds while being one of three players that registered eight or more dimes -- that speaks volumes of how well the Raptors moved the ball despite the loss. Siakam can be an effective two-way player and has started the season with two strong performances. He will try to keep this up Tuesday at Philadelphia.
