The Toronto Raptors, like we read in the earlier slide, have not been playing really well of late. Injury to their star guard, Kyle Lowry has hampered their season a bit.

They are now in the second spot with a 29-12 record and just half a game behind the Milwaukee Bucks. They have won only six of their last 10 games. A key player this season for them has been their power forward, Pascal Siakam.

Siakam has been playing really well this season, averaging a career-high 15 points per game, along with more than 6 rebounds and 3 assists. He has even become a good rim blocker and is averaging almost 1 block a game too.

Ad

In the win over the Milwaukee Bucks, he scored a huge 30 points in just 39 minutes, along with 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 big blocks as well. He even shot at an elite 73% from the field. The Raptors need Siakam to play at the same level to overcome the Pacers tomorrow.

Alternate pick: John Collins (Atlanta Hawks)
