Toronto Raptors power forward/center Pascal Siakam had his entire offensive arsenal clicking in Thursday's win over the Cavaliers, as he tied his season high with 35 points. Siakam shot 12-for-20 overall, including 6-for-7 from deep, soaring past his previous yearly high of three made triples; the last time he knocked down six threes was Feb. 10, 2020. Even with a Most Improved Player Award already under his belt, Siakam has continued to elevate his production in '21-22, averaging 22.2 points and career bests of 8.3 boards and 5.1 assists, all while shooting 49 percent overall. He will jockey alongside Fred VanVleet and Scottie Barnes on a nightly basis for top offensive duties, but Siakam is wrapping up a month of enormous production where he has averaged 26.2 points over 13 outings thus far.

Toronto Raptors power forward/center Pascal Siakam took the reins of the team's offense during Friday's loss to the Magic, finishing with 34 points and 14 rebounds, marking his 20th double-double of the year. With both Scottie Barnes and Gary Trent Jr. scuffling from the field, Siakam went 13-for-20, taking over No. 1 offensive option duties with Fred VanVleet (knee) sidelined. After a rough close to February, Siakam has found his rhythm again and should continue to enjoy an elevated fantasy upside for as long as VanVleet is sidelined. With that said, Siakam faces a difficult matchup Sunday vs. Cleveland, who ranks in the Top 5 in defensive efficiency this year and boasts ample length to combat his skill set.

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (eye) has returned to Monday's game against the New Orleans Hornets. The Raptors star was taken to the locker room in the second quarter of the game after being poked in the eye by the Pelicans' Herbert Jones on a drive the hoop. He instantly fell down after the play and went straight to the locker room. Luckily, he returned to the court just a few minutes later. Siakam has been aggressive offensively so far with a game-high 12 field goal attempts going into halftime.

Toronto Raptors power forward Pascal Siakam helped lead the team to a 116-101 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. He scored 24 points on 10-of-16 shooting from the field and racked up 11 rebounds, eight assists, two three-pointers and a block. The Raptors have been leaning heavily on the 27-year-old lately. He's logged at least 40 minutes in six of his last seven games, including his 57-minute outing in the team's triple-overtime win over the Miami Heat in late January. By most measures, Siakam is having his best statistical season, averaging 21.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 47.7% from the field. Next up for Siakam and the Raptors is a favorable road matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.

He shot 10-for-20 from the field and 4-for-9 at the charity stripe with one made three-pointer. Siakam has finally found some consistency lately, going for 25-plus points in three straight contests with some solid peripheral stats. The Raptors received frontcourt help on Friday, with Khem Birch and Precious Achiuwa returning to action, but Siakam still logged 40 minutes. He'll be battling some demons on Sunday against the Knicks after shooting just 3-for-18 from the field against them in his last appearance in the matchup.

Toronto Raptors center Pascal Siakam and shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. have been given the green light to take the floor for Tuesday's contest against the 76ers. Siakam missed the past two games due to the league's health and safety protocols, while Trent was sidelined for one contest due to the same circumstances. With Toronto still dealing with widespread injuries and absences, Siakam and Trent will garner significant DFS upside as the two go-to options on offense, even as they battle minutes restrictions. Siakam has enjoyed a tremendous December, averaging 21.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 3.7 assists across six contests, while Trent has served as both a three-point dynamo and steal extraordinaire in 2021-22, leading the league with 2.2 swipes per outing.

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. It sounds like he will return to the court after being sidelined due to protocols. Yuta Watanabe will take a hit in value after turning in a wonderful performance his last time out. There could still be some low-end streaming appeal for Watanabe, but it's uncertain how much he'll play now. D.J. Wilson and Chris Boucher will lose most of their streaming appeal with the return of Siakam.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Pascal Siakam is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with Philly. The 27-year-old missed his previous two games because of the COVID-19 health and safety protocols, but he may need time to get back into shape. Nonetheless, with the team still missing several key options on the offensive end, there is a good chance he could be back. However, if he doesn't suit up, Chris Boucher, who had 21 points, five boards and a steal on Sunday against the Cavs, should continue to get plenty of work in the middle. However, Boucher will likely have to deal with Joel Embiid, so his fantasy outlook isn't as promising.

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam has entered the league's health and safety protocols. That means, he won't suit up for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Obviously, a frustrating situation for Toronto especially this close to game time. It's uncertain how long Siakam is going to be sidelined. In the meantime, OG Anunoby (hip) is making his return and should help pick up the slack without Siakam available.

Toronto Raptors power forward Pascal Siakam logged 16 points, eight rebounds, and four assists during a 124-101 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Monday. The 27-year-old shot 8-for-15 from the field, including 0-for-3 behind the arc, and 0-for-1 from the line. The New Mexico State product also posted a block, a steal, and a turnover across 30 minutes. Despite missing the first 10 games of the season recovering from shoulder surgery, the Cameroonian has averaged 18.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.2 triples, and 1.4 stocks per game while shooting 45.7% from the field, 34% from deep, and 75.7% from the line. Siakam boasts an all-around friendly game but with the emergence of small forward Scottie Barnes and guard Fred Van Vleet, his usage rate has taken a small hit.

Toronto Raptors power forward Pascal Siakam produced one of his best games of the season on Sunday, leading the team to a 102-90 victory over Washington with a game-high 31 points. He recorded his second 30-point game with 10-for-21 shooting from the field and with a 10-for-12 effort at the foul line. Siakam picked up six rebounds and handed out three assists with one turnover in 36 minutes. The 27-year-old has started December with very good shooting, and he could really explode in the next matchup against OKC on Wednesday. The Thunder struggle defensively and can't crash the boards either.

Toronto Raptors power forward Pascal Siakam had a good all-around performance in Tuesday's loss to Memphis, leading the team with 20 points on 9-for-19 shooting and recording six rebounds and five assists with one steal, three blocks and two turnovers in 30 minutes. It was a good performance, but it could have been even better if Siakam hadn't gone just 1-for-6 from downtown. Siakam should be able to practice his three-pointers in the next matchup against Milwaukee, as the Bucks are allowing the second-most three-point attempts in the league. He relished the challenge of taking on Giannis Antetokounmpo last season, averaging a 20-9-5 line in three meetings with Milwaukee.

With OG Anunoby (hip) sidelined, the Toronto Raptors needed Pascal Siakam to step up. Unfortunately, that was not the case in a 119-103 loss to the Utah Jazz. On Thursday, Siakam played 31 minutes and was an ice-cold 2-for-14 from the field for four points to go along with five assists, three rebounds, and two steals. Things were looking up for 27-year old with back-to-back 20-point outings, so fantasy managers will hope this is just a minor blip on the radar. However, if you do not roster Siakam and believe better days are ahead, the buy-low window is wide open and off the hinges. This year, the 2016 first-round pick has been frustrating, and his managers may be ready to give up after Thursday's disaster.

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (rest) won't suit up for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This was expected to happen with the Raptors on the second leg of a back-to-back set. The Raptors should use a similar rotation to what they were using when Siakam was sidelined to begin the season. That means, Precious Achiuwa and Chris Boucher should see plenty of minutes. Achiuwa has a bit more streaming appeal right now, but both could be low-end streaming options for Thursday.

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder) is expected to play on Wednesday against the Boston Celtics. Although, it sounds like the team plans to rest him on Thursday, according to head coach Nick Nurse. Siakam played well during his season debut on Sunday. However, the Raptors want to remain cautious with their superstar forward. His absence would mean more run for Precious Achiuwa and Chris Boucher. Both are possible streaming options if Siakam sits out.

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder) will return for Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets, according to head coach Nick Nurse. He underwent offseason surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Siakam has been practicing and will make his return to the floor on Sunday. However, the Raptors are going to limit Siakam while he works his way back. Fantasy managers in season long formats can plug him into their lineups, but Siakam won't have some DFS value right away.

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder) could return as early as next week, according to head coach Nick Nurse. Siakam hasn't played this season after he underwent surgery back in June to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The 27-year-old will most likely be slowly integrated back into the mix and should see a minutes restriction as a result. Nevertheless, fantasy managers should continue to hold him out of the lineup until he can log a full workload. Yet, Siakam's abbreviated appearances early on may still be bad news for rookie Scottie Barnes, who continues to start and make his case for Rookie of the Year honors by averaging 18.1 points and 8.9 boards so far during his inaugural campaign.

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder), who has yet to take the court this year, is expected to return within two weeks. Siakam has been working back into game action with the team's G-League affiliate and appears on track for a November return to the court. Injuries have been a problem for the 27-year-old, but he is a fantasy star when healthy, as he's averaged 22.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.8 triples, and 1.1 steals per game over the last two seasons. Siakam's return could cut into OG Anunoby and Fred VanVleet's usage a bit, though players such as Gary Trent Jr. and Svi Mykhailiuk will see the biggest hits to their usage.

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder) was able to fully practice on Tuesday, according to head coach Nick Nurse. It sounds like the plan is for Siakam to head to the G-League on Wednesday. He'll get in some work there, but probably won't return to the Raptors rotation until mid-November. This is good news for fantasy managers who continue to hold Siakam. It sounds like he might be ahead of schedule, but regardless this is a step in the right direction.

Toronto Raptors power forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder) is progressing in his return from off-season shoulder surgery, but he has not yet logged full contact practice, per Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports, likely putting any kind of return at least weeks off. Siakam has turned himself into a must-own fantasy cog over the past two years, averaging 22.1 points and 7.3 rebounds per game in that span. Without him in the mix for the time being, Chris Boucher stands to continue seeing elevated frontcourt minutes, while there will be ample shots to go around for Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby and Co. in the Raptors' offense. Siakam can be safely stashed on IR slots for the time being, while those without that luxury face a much more tricky decision.
