Pascal Siakam, a two-time All-Star forward who the Pacers acquired from the Raptors earlier in the week, is expected to make his Indiana debut on Friday. Siakam was averaging 22.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game for Toronto this season and averaged 24.2 points and 7.8 rebounds last year. What can daily Fantasy basketball players expect from Siakam in his team debut when forming an NBA DFS strategy for Friday night?

On Wednesday (when he last published picks), Kaylor highlighted Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis as one of his top picks in his NBA DFS player pool on both sites.

Anybody who included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.
