Steady campaign continues
Siakam racked up 23 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-10 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 126-119 loss to the Rockets.
Analysis
Amid what's been a rough year for the Pacers so far, Siakam has been a mainstay in the lineup with dependable production.

Scores 33 in blowout loss
Siakam had 33 points (14-21 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals across 34 minutes in Saturday's 142-116 loss to the Heat.
Analysis
Siakam bounced back admirably from the 11-point performance he posted in Friday's loss to the Celtics. This was Siakam's fifth game in which he cleared the 30-point mark this season, but it's only the second time he's done it since the beginning of December. Even though opposing defenses are planning to slow Siakam down, the star forward should continue to operate as the Pacers' go-to option on offense regardless of the opponent.

Rough night Friday
Siakam supplied 11 points (4-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals over 28 minutes during Friday's 140-122 loss to Boston.
Analysis
Siakam shot the ball poorly, delivering his second straight underwhelming performance. While it has been a relatively strong season for Siakam, Indiana's record is beginning to raise some questions when it comes to Siakam's rest-of-season outlook. The Pacers have lost seven straight games, having won just six games all season. Given the risk that can be associated with a losing record, moving off Siakam could be a wise move as soon as he strings together a couple of good performances.
