Pascal Siakam accumulated a team-high 34 points (14-of-21 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds and five assists over 36 minutes during Saturday’s loss to the Magic.

Siakam cobbled together a monster third quarter, exploding for a whopping 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting, as the Pacers managed to make this one close in the final minutes. Unfortunately, his second-half heroics weren’t enough as the Pacers suffered their 12th consecutive loss since December 12. They’ll attempt to turn things around when they kick off a light three-game week against the Cavaliers on Tuesday before facing the Hornets and Heat to close things out.
Aaron Nesmith

IND Guard-Forward #23

Aaron Nesmith notched 25 points (8-of-16 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, eight assists and two blocks over 34 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Magic.

The Pacers hold the worst record in the NBA after dropping their 12th consecutive game in this one. However, Nesmith has been one of the few glimmers of hope as he’s shown few signs of rust since returning from a left knee sprain, averaging 13.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.4 blocks in five games. The 26-year-old wing led the Pacers with 18 first-half points on 5-of-10 shooting, including 4-of-8 from downtown and has topped 29 minutes in three straight contests. He should be rostered in all fantasy leagues.
Bennedict Mathurin

IND Guard-Forward #00

Before Sunday’s game against the Magic, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said that Bennedict Mathurin (thumb, toe) will likely be sidelined for “a while.”

While a sprained right thumb was the listed reason for Mathurin’s absence, that isn’t the only injury that he’s dealing with. According to Pacers insider Scott Agness, the wing is also dealing with turf toe. Given where the Pacers are in the standings, there isn’t much reason for Mathurin to rush back. Johnny Furphy, who moved into the starting lineup, and Ben Sheppard are players for deep-league managers to track in Mathurin’s absence.
Bennedict Mathurin

IND Guard-Forward #00

Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) is out for Sunday’s game against the Magic.

Mathurin injured his right (shooting) thumb during Friday’s loss to the Spurs, playing 20 minutes as a result. He’ll miss at least one complete game with the injury, leaving the already shorthanded Pacers down one of their better scorers. While Ben Sheppard and Johnny Furphy could play more in Mathurin’s absence, this could also be viewed as an opportunity to get rookie Kam Jones more minutes.
Pascal Siakam

IND Forward #43

Pascal Siakam accumulated a team-high 23 points (10-of-18 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), 10 rebounds, five assists and two steals over 35 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Spurs.

It was more of the same for Siakam as he remains Indiana’s primary offensive catalyst during a lost season where they continue to pile up the losses as one of the worst teams in the entire league after making the NBA Finals just a few months ago. The 31-year-old forward has topped 20 points in four consecutive games and has delivered seventh-round fantasy value during that span, averaging 26.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.3 blocks.
Andrew Nembhard

IND Guard-Forward #2

Andrew Nembhard totaled 19 points (7-of-10 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block over 35 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Spurs.

Nembhard is one of Indiana’s few scoring options capable of heating up and providing some additional offense and he’s been rolling of late, scoring at least 14 points in seven of his last nine games since December 18. The 26-year-old guard doesn’t offer a ton of appeal for fantasy purposes but he’s been a decent source of points and assists in deeper leagues.
Aaron Nesmith

IND Guard-Forward #23

Andrew Nembhard, Bennedict Mathurin, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam and Micah Potter will start Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Nemsith, who has played well since returning from a sprained knee, rejoins the starters for Friday’s game, with Johnny Furphy heading to the bench. The other change is Potter, who steps in for Jay Huff. While Nesmith should be rostered, fantasy managers can afford to leave Potter alone.
Isaiah Jackson

IND Forward #22

Isaiah Jackson (concussion) has been ruled out against the Spurs on Friday.

Jackson will miss his sixth consecutive game with a concussion. Tony Bradley will serve as the primary backup to Jaff Huff, just as he has in the previous five games.
Pascal Siakam

IND Forward #43

Pascal Siakam had 26 points (9-of-20 FGs, 5-of-10 FTs), four rebounds, two steals, one block and three three-pointers against the Magic on Wednesday.

Siakam’s 26 points came as the Pacers lost their 10th consecutive game. The 31-year-old power forward is making the most of what’s already a lost season for the 6-27 Pacers. Siakam scored at least 20 points in seven of his last 10 games. The beat goes on for the Pacers as they take on the Spurs Friday.
Bennedict Mathurin

IND Guard-Forward #00

Bennedict Mathurin had 23 points (4-of-10 FGs, 13-of-13 FTs), five rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers against the Magic on Wednesday.

This was the third time Mathurin has attempted at least 13 free throws in a game this season. On October 23 against the Thunder, he made 15-of-17 free throws and on November 17 against the Pistons, he made 8-of-14 free throws. The 23-year-old small forward had 36 and 25 points in those games, respectively. We’ve seen these blips with Mathurin before and the scoring tends to be unsustainable. He’s averaging 18.3 points per game this year and 16.1 for his career. Mathurin remains more of a good scorer than an elite one.
