Rotoworld Player News

Quenton Jackson

IND Guard #29

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Quenton Jackson (ankle) is questionable to play against the Thunder on Friday.

Jackson exited early from Wednesday’s game, which limited him to just six minutes. He has been playing larger reserve role recently, so if he remains out for this game, Ben Sheppard should see a bump in minutes.
Jarace Walker

IND Forward #5

Jarace Walker amassed 19 points (7-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Celtics.

A double-digit scorer in five of his last seven appearances, Walker’s 19 points were the most in a game for him since late-November. While the third-year forward isn’t a trustworthy fantasy option right now, he’s someone who could be more valuable during the “silly season.” Given where the Pacers are in the standings, young players like Walker shouldn’t lack for opportunities after the All-Star break.
Pascal Siakam

IND Forward #43

Pascal Siakam recorded 32 points (12-of-21 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Celtics.

While Siakam has scored at least 21 points in five straight appearances, Wednesday’s was his first with at least 30 since a January 8 win over the Hornets. While it has been tough sledding for the Pacers’ forward, he’s managed to provide top-100 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. That doesn’t align with Siakam’s ADP (30), but things could be far worse for those who have him rostered.
Quenton Jackson

IND Guard #29

Quenton Jackson (ankle) will not return to Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

Jackson played six minutes off the bench before exiting with a sore right ankle. While his absence won’t affect fantasy basketball, it does free up minutes for some of the Pacers’ other reserves.
Bennedict Mathurin

IND Guard-Forward #00

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said that Bennedict Mathurin (thumb, toe) participated in workouts on Tuesday and Wednesday.

According to Carlisle, Mathurin, who has not played since January 2, is progressing in his recovery from thumb and toe injuries. While the head coach also noted that he’s unsure when the wing will be able to play in games, Carlisle said on January 16 that he believed that Mathurin could play at some point during the Pacers’ current five-game road trip. Johnny Furphy should remain in the starting lineup until Mathurin can play without restriction.
Aaron Nesmith

IND Guard-Forward #23

Aaron Nesmith struggled with his shot but finished with seven points (1-of-9 FGs), 11 rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks and six turnovers against the 76ers on Monday.

Nesmith got a rest night on Saturday, but the extra time off didn’t lead to a better performance. He had a rough shooting night and set a new career high for turnovers. He was able to somewhat offset the struggles by setting a season high for rebounds and contributing on the defensive end. This is the fifth straight game he has shot below 40 percent from the floor, and he’s shot below 25 percent in three of those. It has been a rough season overall for Nesmith, and there isn’t much reason to roster him at this point.
Pascal Siakam

IND Forward #43

Pascal Siakam lit up the 76ers with 24 points (9-of-21 FGs), six rebounds, seven assists and four three-pointers on Monday.

Siakam was one of the key pieces that sat out against Detroit on Saturday, which was the second night of a back-to-back. He was back in the starting unit, and while he played well, it wasn’t enough for them to get the win. This is the fourth straight game that Siakam has scored at least 20 points, and he’s surpassed that mark in 11 of his last 12 games. He’ll look to keep it going in Boston on Wednesday.
Andrew Nembhard

IND Guard-Forward #2

Andrew Nembhard led the Pacers with 25 points (9-of-15 FGs), two rebounds, five assists, one steal, three three-pointers and five turnovers in a 113-104 loss to the 76ers on Monday.

Nembhard has been a decent fantasy option for most of the season, though his production has been up and down. However, he has been excellent as of late. Over his last six games, he has averaged 19.2 points, 8.3 assists and 2.2 triples per game while shooting 51.3 percent from the floor. He is playing to the level that managers were hoping they would with Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) sidelined. He’ll look to stay hot in Boston on Wednesday.
Andrew Nembhard

IND Guard-Forward #2

Andrew Nembhard, Johnny Furphy, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam and Jay Huff will start Monday’s game against the 76ers.

Nembhard, Nesmith and Siakam are back after missing Saturday’s blowout loss to the Pistons. As a result, Quenton Jackson, Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker head back to the bench, where all three offer minimal fantasy value at best.
Isaiah Jackson

IND Forward #22

Isaiah Jackson (concussion) accounted for 10 points (5-of-7 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs) and five rebounds in Saturday’s loss to the Pistons.

Saturday’s game was the first for Jackson since suffering a concussion during a December 22 loss to the Celtics. While solid in his 17 minutes, the former first-round pick was not in a position to be streamed in any fantasy league. And that’s unlikely to change anytime soon. The Pacers play three games in Week 14, starting with the 76ers on Monday.
