Siakam had 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes during Friday's 130-105 victory over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Siakam saw additional playing time along with much of the bench, collecting 13 points along the way. He has shown some glimpses of what he can do this season when given the opportunity but seems to be relegated to a bench role behind both Jonas Valanciunas and Jakob Poeltl. Coach Dwane Casey can change his rotations with little notice and if this occurs, Siakam could hold some value. At this stage, however, he should remain unowned in most league formats.

Siakam finished with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 30 minutes during Saturday's 112-78 victory over the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Siakam looked good again Saturday, coming off the bench in the blowout victory. He has been backing up Serge Ibaka, however, has outplayed him on numerous occasions. Ibaka has been disappointing so far this season, and whether he can hold onto the starting spot remains to be seen. However it plays out, Siakam is in line for consistent minutes. He will not have any outrageous stat lines, but can contribute across the board. He could be worth a look in deeper leagues for his defensive upside.

Siakam will return to the bench for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Siakam drew the start on Friday with Serge Ibaka (knee) sitting out, posting a solid 13 points, four rebounds, five assists and three blocks across 34 minutes. However, Ibaka has been cleared for a return on Sunday and he'll take back the starting power forward role, which sends Siakam to the bench. Look for Siakam's playing time to take a hit, which should restrict his fantasy value to just those in the deepest of leagues.

Siakam totaled 13 points (6-11 FG), four rebounds, five assists and three blocks across 34 minutes of action in a 107-84 win over the New York Knicks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

If Siakam didn't test out his three-ball tonight (0-5 3PT), his impressive line would have looked even better. The reason he played so many minutes is because Serge Ibaka (knee) couldn't suit up, , as his role is still way up in the air. He's played more than 21 minutes only once this month coming into this matchup and he'll remain irrelevant for fantasy unless Ibaka's absence is extended.

Siakam will get the start at power forward Friday against the Knicks, Rebecca Haarlow of MSG Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Serge Ibaka sidelined, the Raptors will go with Siakam, who's been an improved contributor off the bench this season. Through 13 games, Siakam is averaging 7.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game while shooting 56.4 percent from the field.

Siakam will move back to the bench for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

With injuries to both Jonas Valanciunas and Serge Ibaka over the last week, Siakam picked up three straight starts, averaging 14.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals across 24.0 minutes during that span. However, both Valanciunas and Ibaka are back to full strength and returning to the top unit Wednesday, which sends Siakam back to the bench. Siakam had played a total of 13 minutes over the first three games of the season, so look for him to take on a substantially smaller role with the Raptors' frontcourt healthy.

Siakam scored 18 points (8-10 F, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding five rebounds, two steals and an assist in 25 minutes during Friday's 101-92 win over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Getting another start at power forward while Jonas Valanciunas nurses a sprained ankle, Siakam had his second straight impressive performance. Valanciunas should be back in the lineup very soon, returning the second-year player to the bench, but Siakam has made a strong case for a bigger role in the frontcourt rotation after he saw only 13 minutes of action through the first three games of the season.

Siakam managed 20 points (9-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes in Wednesday's 117-112 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Siakam entered the starting five with both Jonas Valanciunas and Lucas Nogueira suffering from ankle injuries and he produced a career-best scoring total in the process. The second-year big man seemingly couldn't miss, even draining a pair of long distance shots. Siakam's tenure with the first unit should only last until Valanciunas' return to the lineup at most, as that development would shift Serge Ibaka back over to the starting power forward spot that Siakam occupied Wednesday.

Siakam will enter the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Raptors are going to be without both Jonas Valanciunas (ankle) and Lucas Nogueira (ankle) on Wednesday, so they'll shift Serge Ibaka over to center, while pushing Siakam into the starting lineup at power forward. Despite Siakam's promotion to the top unit, it is worth it to note that he averaged a meager 4.8 points and 3.7 rebounds across 18.5 minutes in 38 starts last season, so he likely isn't the best plug-and-play option. More likely, center Jakob Poeltl will be the main beneficiary and see extended minutes off the bench in the frontcourt.

Siakam will draw the start at power forward during Friday's preseason finale against the Bulls, Mike Ganter of the Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The coaching staff seemingly wants to get a look at their prospect in different lineup scenarios. Last year, he posted 4.2 points and 3.4 rebounds across 15.6 minutes per game.
