Aaron

Nesmith

Nesmith was back in the Pacers’ rotation after a five-game absence, and he was immediately thrust into the starting lineup. He had a rough go of it against the Clippers, shooting 1-of-4 from two and 0-of-4 from beyond the arc. Nesmith was limited to 20 minutes, and his fantasy value was low even before the ankle injury. Besides his status as a starter, there isn’t much reason to consider rostering Nesmith in most fantasy leagues.

Nembhard, Nesmith and Siakam are all available after missing time due to injury. Their returns mean that Kam Jones, Ben Sheppard and Obi Toppin will come off the bench. Walker remaining with the starters ensures his fantasy value doesn’t take a significant hit.

Injured during a February 19 loss to the Wizards, Nesmith is available to play on Wednesday. While he should return to the starting lineup, pushing Ben Sheppard to the bench, Nesmith’s playing time may be limited because of the games he missed.

Nesmith sprained his ankle during a February 19 loss to the Wizards and hasn’t played since, missing Indiana’s last five games. Ben Sheppard entered the starting lineup in the game before Nesmith’s injury and has remained in that role. If Nesmith can play on Wednesday, Sheppard is likely to lose out on playing time.

Nesmith sprained his right ankle during Thursday’s loss to the Wizards, with his absence leading to Kam Jones receiving the starting nod the following night. Depending on Jones’ back, which has been an issue recently, Nesmith’s absence should ensure the rookie guard takes on extended minutes, whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Nesmith injured his right ankle during Thursday’s loss to the Wizards, and Sunday’s game will be the second he has missed since then. Kam Jones started Friday’s loss to the Wizards, but he is listed as questionable for Sunday. Jarace Walker would be a better streaming option, even if Pascal Siakam returns to action.

Nesmith exited Thursday’s loss to the Wizards during the second quarter and did not return, logging 15 minutes before spraining his right ankle. He’s already been ruled out for Friday’s rematch, which likely means a return to the starting lineup for Kobe Brown. Brown started the third quarter and finished with 12 points, nine rebounds, one assist, one block and two three-pointers in 33 minutes. He’s worth streaming in deep leagues for Friday, especially with Pascal Siakam (personal) also out.

Jones was ruled out before the start of the second half of Thursday’s contest, along with Aaron Nesmith. Before exiting with back soreness, Jones logged 14 minutes and added four points on 2-of-2 shooting. Should he miss any significant time, it shouldn’t have much of an impact on fantasy basketball.

Nesmith suffered a sprained right ankle during the first half of Thursday’s game and was ruled out during the halftime break. He finished with three points, two rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes. Kobe Brown started the third quarter for Nesmith, and he may be the starter for Friday’s rematch as well.

Nembhard and Nesmith are back after missing the Pacers’ final game before the All-Star break, but Pascal Siakam (personal) is not. His continued absence means that Walker will get another start, while the returns of Nembhard and Nesmith push Kam Jones and Kobe Brown to the bench.
