Pascal Siakam scores career-high 33 points in Raptors' win
Toronto Raptors power forward Pascal Siakam scored a career-high 33 points (12-of-20 field goals, 7-of-9 free throws) with 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 2 3-pointers, and 2 turnovers in 40.5 minutes of a 119-101 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday.
What It Means:
Siakam won't see as much work once Marc Gasol makes his debut, but he's been sizzling since the turn of the calendar, with 18.2 points, 8.1 boards, 3.1 dimes, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 1.0 treys over 18 games in January and February. If Gasol and Kawhi Leonard (knee) are both unavailable again for Saturday's road matchup with the New York Knicks, Siakam should be in for another big workload.
Siakam set a season-high with 62.8 FanDuel points in the win. He's averaging 31.5 FanDuel points through 55 games overall this season.
