Rotoworld Player News

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.
Jarace Walker

IND Forward #5

Jarace Walker amassed 13 points (4-of-12 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Pistons.

Making his first start since December 1, Walker offered modest production in a game that was over by the end of the first quarter. Detroit scored 24 of the first 27 points and never looked back. Walker’s fantasy value in the short term depends on the availability of Pascal Siakam, who did not play on Saturday. Later in the season, the former lottery pick may have added value if the Pacers decide to limit Siakam’s playing time even more.
Quenton Jackson

IND Guard #29

Quenton Jackson, Johnny Furphy, Ben Sheppard, Jarace Walker and Jay Huff will start Saturday’s game against the Pistons.

The Pacers won’t have Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith or Pascal Siakam for Saturday’s game, opening three spots in the starting lineup. Jackson, Sheppard and Walker will fill the resulting voids, and they’re worth a roll of the dice given the team’s injuries.
Isaiah Jackson

IND Forward #22

Isaiah Jackson (concussion) is available for Saturday’s game against the Pistons.

Jackson is available to make his first appearance in a game since December 22. While Jay Huff will remain the starter, Jackson’s return will likely result in fewer minutes for Micah Potter and Tony Bradley. However, there’s no need to roster Jackson immediately, given the time missed.
Isaiah Jackson

IND Forward #22

Isaiah Jackson (concussion) is questionable to play against the Pistons on Saturday.

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said that he expected Jackson to return during this road trip, and with four key rotation pieces sitting out, this would be a good game for him to suit up for. If he does, he’ll split the backup center minutes behind Jay Huff with Tony Bradley.
T.J. McConnell

IND Guard #9

T.J. McConnell (knee, elbow) has been ruled out against the Pistons on Saturday.

McConnell will get the night off, and with Andrew Nembhard (back) as well, there will be plenty of point guard minutes open for the shorthanded Pacers. Kam Jones and Taelon Peter should fill the void for this game.
