I love Siakam in this one, I think he dominates the Celics again. On Wednesday night he recorded a double-double against Boston. So there is no reason why he can’t do it again. He leads the Raptors in points and rebounds. Look for him to record a double-double. Go and cash Siakam to record a double-double.
