Wed May 28 | 08:36 | Pascal Siakam Drops 30 Points on Knicks in Game 4 Win |
Indiana Pacers forward/center Pascal Siakam shot 11-for-21 from the field and 5-for-6 at the charity stripe en route to 30 points in Tuesday's 130-121 victory over the New York Knicks. He matched his best performance of the postseason from behind the arc with a 3-for-4 effort. Following a relatively quiet night in Game 3, Siakam did a little bit of everything for the Pacers, finishing with five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block. The 2019 NBA champion had his second 30-point outing in the series. New York has allowed him to take 20-plus shots in the games Siakam has gone off for 30-plus points, while he has attempted only 30 shots combined in the two games where his offensive production was limited. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau must devise a plan to limit Siakam's touches to boost his team's chances in the series. |

Fri May 23 | 23:56 | Pascal Siakam Leads the Way in Scoring in Game 2 |
Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam had a game-high 39 points in the Game 2 win over the Knicks. He added five boards, three assists, and one steal. The veteran struggled shooting in Game 1. However, things were different this time around, with Siakam going 15-for-23 from the field and 3-for-5 from downtown. The Knicks had trouble keeping up with the Pacers' speedy offensive approach, and Siakam took full advantage. With the Knicks dropping both games at home to begin the series, the Pacers will look for another win on Sunday in Indiana. In two games against New York at home during the regular season, Siakam averaged 19.0 points and 6.5 boards. Although he struggled from the field in those contests, he shot an efficient 41.7% from behind the arc. |

Thu May 22 | 06:31 | Pascal Siakam Struggles From the Field in Game 1 Against Knicks |
Indiana Pacers forward/center Pascal Siakam had a tough time hitting shots in Wednesday's 138-135 overtime win in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Knicks. He went 7-for-16 from the field, missing both of his attempts from deep. However, the Cameroonian star still produced a decent fantasy line, notching 17 points, five rebounds, six assists, and two steals in a team-high 43 minutes. Siakam's shooting woes robbed him of an opportunity to record a third consecutive 20-point effort. Still, it was a good showing from him, and considering Siakam has shot 53.5 percent for the entire postseason, there is a strong chance he will do better in Friday's Game 2. |

Sun May 4 | 21:23 | Pascal Siakam Drops 17 Points In Win Over Cleveland |
Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam had 17 points, eight rebounds, and one steal in Sunday's win over the Cavs. While Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, and Myles Turner were also productive, Siakam did his part to help Indiana take the opening game of the series. The Cavs had trouble keeping up with the speedy Pacers' offense. It's likely head coach Rick Carlisle will look to keep things moving in Game 2 on Tuesday evening, meaning Siakam should continue to be involved on both ends of the floor. |

Fri Apr 18 | 18:58 | Pascal Siakam Available For Playoff Opener |
Indiana Pacers forward/center Pascal Siakam (elbow) will be in the lineup for Game 1 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. The Cameroonian star played in only two of the last five regular-season games while managing a right elbow injury.

Siakam averaged 20.2 points per game with a career-high 38.9 percent three-point shooting during the regular season. He even improved his productivity in meetings with Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks, posting 24.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game. |

Unfortunately, he struggled, ending the night with only four points. With Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith off the injury report, it's unknown if Toppin will remain with the first five. However, if he does stay in the starting lineup, there's a good chance he'll play better this time around. |

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (elbow) won't play on Friday against Orlando. The former Raptor had 10 points and eight boards in Thursday's win over the Cavs. However, the Pacers are locked into a playoff spot, so Siakam, Tyrese Haliburton (back), Aaron Nesmith (rest), Andrew Nembhard (thumb), and Myles Turner (knee) also won't suit up. Obi Toppin, averaging 28 points and seven rebounds in two starts this season, will likely fill the void at the four spot. |

Siakam missed only his second game of the season on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets when he had to depart the lineup due to an elbow injury.The star forward has only scored 20 points once in his last seven outings.

Mon Apr 7 | 21:20 | Pascal Siakam Could Be Out For Second Straight Game |
Indiana Pacers forward/center Pascal Siakam (elbow) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Siakam missed only his second game of the season on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets when he had to depart the lineup due to an elbow injury. Obi Toppin moved into the starting unit and had a big game with 22 points. He will likely keep hold of the spot if Siakam does not return on Tuesday. It's a juicy matchup against the league's weakest defense, so Toppin may do even better than his performance on Sunday. |

Sun Apr 6 | 12:04 | Pascal Siakam Ruled Out On Sunday |
Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (elbow) will miss Sunday's matchup in Denver. He had a monster outing on Friday in Utah, finishing with 22 points, four blocks, and three steals. However, the former Raptor won't suit up because of right olecranon bursitis. As a result, Obi Toppin, who had 34 points and 10 rebounds in his only start of the year on March 17 (Siakam's last absence) is worth considering for fantasy purposes. |

Fri Apr 4 | 13:16 | Pascal Siakam Iffy For Matchup With Jazz |
Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (elbow) has received a questionable status due to elbow bursitis and may not suit up against the Utah Jazz on Friday. If there's ever a good time to get a rest game, the Pacers would likely choose this one against a banged-up and last-place Jazz team. So, if Siakam doesn't suit up, while Aaron Nesmith (ankle) and Bennedict Mathurin (calf) are both questionable, they could be very thin in the frontcourt. Obi Toppin, Jarace Walker, and T.J. McConnell could all see a big bump in minutes and usage. In their last game, Walker played the most out of the three and posted 10 points, six rebounds, and two assists. |

Wed Mar 19 | 18:13 | Pascal Siakam Back On Wednesday Evening |
Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (personal) will play on Wednesday versus Dallas. The former Raptor amassed at least 25 points in each of the previous three games heading into Monday's overtime win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, he didn't suit up for that one, opening the door for Obi Toppin to enter the starting lineup and finish with a team-high 34 points and 10 rebounds. With Tyrese Haliburton (back) still out, Siakam should see a bump in production. But as far as Toppin is concerned, he'll likely head back to the bench, eliminating most of his fantasy potential on Wednesday night. |

Tue Mar 18 | 21:25 | Pascal Siakam In Danger Of Missing Another Contest |
Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (personal) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Dallas Mavericks. The former Raptor had been on a roll, scoring at least 25 points in each of the Pacers' previous three contests heading into Monday's overtime victory over the Timberwolves. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to play because of a personal issue. Tyrese Haliburton (back), Aaron Nesmith (ankle), and Myles Turner (hip) were also sidelined for that one, resulting in Obi Toppin and Bennedict Mathurin combining for 56 points. Toppin will likely start again if Siakam can't suit up. However, Turner and Nesmith are off the injury report, so Toppin probably won't be as productive, even if Haliburton remains on the shelf. |

Sun Mar 16 | 19:42 | Pascal Siakam Won't Play On Monday |
Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (personal) is out on Monday night versus the Timberwolves. The Pacers just completed back-to-back contests, with the 30-year-old combining for 53 points, 14 rebounds, and four blocks during that span. However, he'll sit out on Monday night due to a personal issue. Myles Turner (hip) is questionable, so the team may be down their starting bigs against Minnesota. But as far as Siakam is concerned, Obi Toppin may slide into the starting lineup. But even if the former Knick doesn't start, he could see more work on the scoring end, especially if Turner, Tyrese Haliburton (back), and Aaron Nesmith (ankle) are ruled out. |

Fri Mar 14 | 17:49 | Pascal Siakam Available Versus Philly |
Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (elbow) will play on Friday versus Philly, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. The former Raptor was questionable heading into this contest because of right Olecranon bursitis. But he'll be out there. Siakam hasn't missed a game with the Pacers since being dealt by Toronto ahead of last season's trade deadline. He also remains one of Indiana's top performers, averaging 20.8 points and 7.2 rebounds while shooting a career-high 40.1% from downtown. With Philadelphia dealing with a multitude of injuries, Siakam could thrive for fantasy managers, although his presence should mean less work for Obi Toppin, who would have likely slid into the starting lineup. |
