Rotoworld Player News

Kelly Oubre

IND Forward-Guard #10

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kelly Oubre with 15 points (5-of-10 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, an assist, and a three taking over Haliburton in the starting lineup.

With no Haliburton and Zubac tonight, Oubre’s scoring was much needed in the Pacers come back. From a fantasy perspective, he doesn’t provide much outside of decent scoring and occasional rebounding, so he’s fine if you need a boost in those categories, but he will have other games where the shot isn’t there and there’s not a lot there from a fantasy perspective.
Pascal Siakam

IND Forward #43

Pascal Siakam had a monster 26 points (11-of-17 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 11 rebounds, three assists, and a steal on Wednesday.

Pascal did his best to lead the Pacers without Haliburton in this game and did a good job scoring the ball. He was a monster on the boards as the Pacers out hustled the 76ers in this game. We have at least two weeks before Haliburton comes back, so sit back and enjoy the production but also recognize that it might come down a bit once Haliburton comes back.
Andrew Nembhard

IND Guard-Forward #2

Andrew Nembhard had 18 points (5-of-16 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, fourteen assists, and a three in loss on Wednesday to the Sixers.

Nembhard got plenty of shot attempts, assists and to the line. You can see the framework of his fantasy game when Haliburton is out. He was passing the ball, and he was the reason why the Pacers got back in this game in the third quarter. Nembhard won’t shoot 31% from the field very often, so this performance can be even better if he hit a few more shots.
Andrew Nembhard

IND Guard-Forward #2

Indiana Pacers will start Andrew Nembhard, Kelly Oubre Jr., Aaron Smith, Pascal Siakam, and Jay Huff against the 76ers on Wednesday.

Kelly Oubre will step in as the starter with Tyrese Haliburton being ruled out for a couple weeks due to a hamstring injury and Andrew Nembhard will shift to the the full time point guard spot. Oubre could take on more usage in Haliburton’s absence, but Nembhard is the first guy to look at.
Aaron Nesmith

IND Guard-Forward #23

Aaron Nesmith (hamstring) will be available to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday.

Nesmith was questionable with a hamstring injury but will give it a go. He will likely start and put up solid numbers which can be useful as a stream if you’re looking for points and 3-pointers.
Obi Toppin

IND Forward #1

Obi Toppin (hand) will be available to play against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Obi was probable and will play in this game. He can be used as a streamer if you’re looking for some points and rebounds, but he’s still backup up Siakam.
Aaron Nesmith

IND Guard-Forward #23

Aaron Nesmith (hamstring) is now questionable for Wednesday’s game against the 76ers.

Initially probable for Wednesday night, Nesmith’s status has been downgraded. Given the absences the Pacers already face, most notably Tyrese Haliburton, losing another starter would be suboptimal. Whether he starts or stays on the bench, Jarace Walker should get more opportunities if Nesmith can’t play.
Ben Sheppard

IND Guard #26

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle told reporters Ben Sheppard (knee) will be out for months.

Sheppard underwent surgery for a torn meniscus last week and it was revealed that he needed a full repair. Carlisle said that while there’s currently no timetable for his return, Sheppard will miss multiple months. This is another significant injury the Pacers are dealing with in the backcourt after losing Tyrese Haliburton (knee) for at least two weeks.
T.J. McConnell

IND Guard #9

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said Wednesday that T.J. McConnell (hamstring) is “doing better” and getting closer to a return to action.

McConnell has not played in a game this season due to a strained right hamstring. However, he is progressing in his recovery and passing some tests set by the Pacers’ training staff. McConnell could return to the court in a week or so, which is good news for a team that won’t have Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) for a few weeks.
Andrew Nembhard

IND Guard-Forward #2

Andrew Nembhard (neck) is available for Wednesday’s game against the 76ers.

Nembhard was initially listed as questionable with a neck injury, but he’s good to go against the 76ers Wednesday. With Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) sidelined for at least two weeks, Nembhard should have more playmaking responsibilities as the Pacers’ starting point guard.
