Siakam supplied 16 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 103-91 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
The Pacers fell one win shy of Siakam picking up his second career NBA championship. Siakam will be able to hold his head high after another terrific campaign, however. The 31-year-old forward appeared in 78 regular-season contests, posting sixth-round value in nine-category fantasy formats with 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 32.7 minutes per contest. With Tyrese Haliburton sidelined by an Achilles tear, Siakam could be poised to take on a larger role in 2025-26.

Rotowire
Siakam closed with 28 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals across 33 minutes during Monday's 120-109 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Siakam had a respectable total heading into the fourth quarter, but he woke up with 12 points in the final stanza. He was the engine of an 11-3 rally that put the Pacers within striking distance.

Siakam's 28 points marked his best scoring performance of the series.

Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner weren't at their best in this game, and while Siakam didn't get as involved as he should have in the final minutes, he still ended as the Pacers' leading scorer. The forward has been outstanding for Indiana in the Finals and has scored at least 19 points in three of the four games. He should play a pivotal role in Game 5 on Monday.

Siakam posted 21 points (9-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Sunday's 129-109 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Siakam was incredibly efficient during Sunday's blowout win and finished with a team-high 21 points in only 21 minutes, as head coach Rick Carlisle pulled the starters early. It was the first time Siakam eclipsed the 20-point mark since Game 3 of the opening-round series against Milwaukee. Indiana has taken a commanding 3-1 lead, but the series shifts back to Cleveland for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Scores 18 points in Game 3 loss
Rotowire
Siakam ended with 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes during Friday's 126-104 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Siakam looked like the only Indiana player who was trying to mount a comeback for prolonged stretches during the second half, and he was one of the top players for the Pacers in this 22-point defeat. This was Siakam's best scoring output of the series, but the fact that he's yet to reach the 20-point mark in the series -- and knowing he's failed to do that in five straight playoff contests -- should be a bit concerning for fantasy managers who continue to ride with Siakam in their lineups, particularly in DFS formats.

Siakam had a relatively quiet performance by his standards, despite falling just two rebounds short of a double-double. If the Pacers are to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, more will almost certainly be needed from Siakam, who was key to the team's success all season. With that said, his teammates were able to step up on both ends of the floor, powering Indiana to an important Game 1 victory on the road.

After scoring at least 24 points in the first three games of this series, Siakam scored a combined 22 points in his last two. He was pretty passive on offense, while Tyrese Haliburton, Aaron Nesmith and Myles Turner did most of the heavy lifting. Siakam had a tough matchup against Giannis Antetokounmpo to open the postseason, and now he'll have to contend with Evan Mobley in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals.

The star forward has been extremely consistent in the series, scoring at least 24 points in each of the three games so far while shooting at least 50 percent from the field in every contest.

Rotowire
Siakam has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to right elbow injury management.
