4 years agoToronto Raptors power forward Pascal Siakam (knee) has been downgraded to out for Monday's contest versus the Pacers, marking his second consecutive absence due to a knee ailment. Stanley Johnson entered the starting five in his place Sunday, giving him added DFS intrigue as a low-priced upside play. Siakam has scuffled from long range to begin the year, shooting just 25.4 percent from behind the arc, contributing to his scoring average dipping by more than four points. His absence should again free up more shot attempts for OG Anunoby and Fred Vanvleet among the starting five, with Siakam's next chance to take the floor coming Wednesday against Milwaukee.--Jesse Borek
