Jakob Poeltl - Posts another dPoeltl provided 19 points (8-15 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 127-125 loss to the Pacers.
ImpactPoeltl posted his fourth double-double over his last seven appearances, and the big man has been quite an asset on both ends of the court for the Raptors. He seems to have left a nagging ankle injury in the rearview, and he should remain a capable double-double threat for Toronto as long as he remains healthy.

Scottie Barnes - Close to another double-doubleBarnes closed with 29 points (12-22 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 127-125 loss to the Pacers.
ImpactBarnes finished two assists short of a triple-double for the second time across his last four games, and his strong two-way contributions are transforming him into one of the most versatile forwards in the league. Even though he's not expected to lead the Raptors in scoring, he's also taken a step forward in that regard of late, something that should be even more noticeable following the trade deadline. Barnes is averaging 19.4 points, 8.0 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game since the beginning of February.

RJ Barrett - Sniffs double-doubleBarrett closed with 23 points (9-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-8 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 127-125 loss to the Pacers.
ImpactBarrett has been a consistent scorer for the Raptors this season, reaching the 20-point mark in seven of his last nine appearances with Toronto. He enters the All-Star break averaging 19.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game over six February appearances, and while his numbers have not fluctuated much compared to his New York days, he's handling a bigger workload, and that has resulted in a slight scoring increase.

Isaiah Jackson - Double-doubles in spot startJackson notched 15 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 127-125 victory over the Raptors.
ImpactJackson earned a starting role Wednesday with Myles Turner (illness) sidelined, and the big man responded with a solid performance on both ends of the court, almost mimicking what Turner brings to the court for Indiana on a nightly basis. Jackson is expected to head hack to a bench role when the Pacers resume their campaign following the All-Star break.

Pascal Siakam - Scores 23 in return to TorontoSiakam finished with 23 points (8-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 127-125 victory over Toronto.
ImpactSiakam was among the most productive players for Indiana in this win, and the veteran forward also managed to make an impact on both ends of the court against his former team. Siakam has reached the 20-point mark in four of his eight February appearances, and he enters the All-Star break averaging 21.3 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.5 assists per contest over his last eight outings.

Tyrese Haliburton - Bounces back WednesdayHaliburton chipped in 21 points (6-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 127-125 victory over the Raptors.
ImpactHaliburton seems to be rounding back to form in terms of his scoring numbers, and he surpassed the 30-minute mark for the second consecutive game, so his hamstring seems to be trending in the right direction. The star floor general has also dished out double-digit assists in his last four contests.
