Pascal Siakam Drops 34 Points In Double-Double During Defeat
3 years agoToronto 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.
