Kyle Lowry has missed the past two games for the Raptors due to a toe ailment that he suffered in Toronto's game versus the Miami Heat on January 20. Despite his absence, the Raps were able to win both games by a combined 25 points, which included a win over the Heat.
Before his injury, Lowry was averaging 18.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 7.1 assists for the Raptors. While he has shot 42.9 percent from the field, Lowry is shooting slightly higher from beyond the arc compared to his previous two seasons at 35.9 percent.
On the other hand, Pascal Siakam is dealing with a knee injury that he sustained in Toronto's second meeting with Miami on January 22. Siakam is expected to be day-to-day with his current knee ailment after missing Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers.
Along with Lowry, Siakam has been a crucial member of the Raptors this season, notching 18.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists in his first 14 games. While Siakam remains out, Norman Powell and OG Anunoby will likely continue to see expanded roles for Toronto.
At the least, Toronto is going to have Lowry back in the lineup on Monday as they hope to extend their winning streak to three games in their second-straight matchup with the Pacers.
