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. It appears that Siakam is back at 100 percent before the start of the postseason, as the team has not included him on its injury report. 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.

Pascal Siakam (elbow) won't play on Sunday against Cleveland. He didn't suit up for Friday's loss to the Magic. As a result,
Obi Toppin entered the starting lineup. 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.

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.

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.
