RecapPascal Siakam amassed a team-high 29 points (9-of-16 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 35 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Mavericks.
Siakam came within one board and two assists of a triple-double, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a herculean performance by Dallas star Cooper Flagg. He knocked down 5-of-8 from three-point range and fell one-point shy of matching his previous season-high mark that he set during Indiana’s season opener against the Pelicans. The 32-year-old forward has delivered seventh-round fantasy value this season, averaging a robust 22.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.1 blocks through 10 games.
