Rotowire
Siakam ended with 19 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists across 28 minutes during Sunday's 122-95 win over the Kings.
The double-double was his fourth of the season, but two of them have come in his last two games. Siakam hasn't been able to put together a prolonged hot streak yet in 2024-25, but he may be catching fire -- over the last four contests he's averaging 22.3 points, 10.3 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.5 threes, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting 52.4 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent (10-for-20) from beyond the arc.

Siakam finished with a game-high 22 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 victory over the Pelicans.
The veteran forward topped 20 points for the third time in the last four games, although he managed only nine points in the fourth. Siakam still hasn't returned to the level of production he enjoyed at his peak in Toronto due to lower usage, but he's begun to make up for it by being busier at the defensive end of the court. Over the last nine games, Siakam is averaging 18.8 points, 6.8 boards, 2.6 assists, 1.7 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks while shooting 50.4 percent from the floor.

Following a season-low nine points in Sunday's defeat to the Hornets, Siakam wasted no time getting right back on track with a highly efficient 23 points to go with a full box score Friday. Siakam has been a model of consistency for the Pacers in 2024-25, averaging 19.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.4 three-pointers per game over his last 14 games. The 30-year-old star forward has hit double scoring figures in 25 of his 26 appearances this year, and while his usage may be down since being traded from the rebuilding Raptors to Indiana last season, Siakam is burying a career-high 42.2 percent of his three-point attempts on the campaign as a whole.

It was just the second time in 22 games that Siakam failed to tally an assist for the Pacers this year, but the forward has now scored at least 13 points in each of those appearances. The Pacers have struggled to a 9-14 record after making the Eastern Conference Finals a year ago, but Siakam has remained productive throughout the team's slow start, averaging 20.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.4 three-pointers in 35.1 minutes per game over his last 11 contests. The 30-year-old star forward should continue to be a steady fantasy contributor going forward, and a soft matchup with a Bulls team allowing the most points per game (123.2) in the NBA awaits him Friday.

Expect the forward to operate as the team's second go-to player on offense, behind Haliburton.
