Pascal Siakam has been undeterred in his production against the Philadelphia 76ers this season and aims to lead his Toronto Raptors to victory on Friday night! With the Atlanta Hawks looking to push for the sixth seed, Trae Young's shooting will be the difference against the Brooklyn Nets. And when the New York Knicks face the Cleveland Cavaliers, RJ Barrett's playmaking will be the focus.

The Sixers have been one of Siakam's favorite teams to play this season, and as the Raptors make a late-season push to improve their record, he'll be crucial to their chances at victory. At PointsBet, Siakam is a +120 to drop six or more assists when he takes on the Philadelphia 76ers. Averaging a near-triple double against the Sixers this season, expect Siakam to have another great game.
On the season, Siakam is averaging 24.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.9 assists on 47.6% from the field and 32.8% from three-point range. Through his last five games, Siakam has posted averages of 24.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 6.0 assists on 51.7% from the field but just 19.0% from three. He'll aim to maintain his form against the Sixers this season, where he averaged 28.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 8.3 assists on 50.0% shooting from the field and 42.1% from three.
If the Raptors hope to push for the top six, it's a must-win game, and Siakam's production will reflect that. Siakam has cleared 5.5 assists in three of his last five matchups. He's also collected six or more assists in 37 of his 66 appearances this season.

Trae Young continues to try and push his Atlanta Hawks to the top six of the Eastern Conference, and his threat to score from beyond the arc will be essential. Given his recent performances, Young is on a significant trend to clear 2.5 threes. At DraftKings Sportsbook, Young is a +125 to hit three or more three-pointers when he plays the Brooklyn Nets.
Young hasn't shot it well against the Nets this season, going just 3 of 12 from deep through three games. On the season, Young is averaging 26.5 points, 10.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.2 threes per game on 43.2% from the field and 34.5% from deep. Through his last five games, Young has averaged 23.4 points, 9.0 assists, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.2 threes on 40.0% from the field and 50.0% from three.
Against a Nets team that protects the rim well, expect Young to be more proactive in finding his opportunities from deep - especially with a traditional big-man matchup in this game. Young has cleared 2.5 threes in three of his last five games. On the season, he's cleared 2.5 threes in 25 of his 69 appearances.

RJ Barrett is known as more of a scorer through the 2022-23 NBA season, but his playmaking will be the focus against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's not one of the league's more prolific passers, but his current form is encouraging for this bet. At Caesars Sportsbook, Barrett is a +120 to collect three or more assists when he faces the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers' defense has troubled Barrett this season, holding him to 15.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists on 45.7% shooting from the field and 50.0% from deep. On the season, Barrett is averaging 19.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists on 43.5% from the field and 31.8% from three-point range. Through his last five games, Barrett has averaged just 16.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.2 assists on 43.1% from the field and 38.1% from three.
Against a tough interior defense, Barrett's passing will be critical to the Knicks' success - fortunately, he's in excellent playmaking form. Through Barrett's last five games, he's cleared 2.5 assists four times to compensate for his inconsistent scoring. On the season, Barrett has collected three or more assists in 34 of his 70 appearances.
