Pascal Siakam has seen his scoring average decline to 20.5 points per game this season. Last season, he averaged 24.2 points per game. Part of the reason is that he has been playing less, logging an average of three fewer minutes per game. Still, his matchup against the Hornets is too good to ignore. They have the worst defensive rating in the league and their starting center Mark Williams (back) is listed as questionable. Even if he does play, he is averaging a modest 1.0 blocks per game, so he’s not a huge defensive presence in the paint. After scoring 30 points versus a good defensive team in the Heat on Wednesday, look for Siakam to have another productive evening in the scoring column.
