Pascal Siakam

IND Forward #43

Pascal Siakam (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Mavericks.

After missing Indiana’s last two games for personal reasons, Siakam is on the injury report for Sunday due to left hamstring injury management. If he cannot play against Dallas, that would likely mean Jarace Walker remains in the starting lineup. Walker is worth streaming in that role, and he should have added fantasy value the rest of the season.
Micah Potter

IND Center #11

Micah Potter (ankle) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Mavericks.

Potter is back on the injury report, but he was also questionable for Friday’s loss to the Wizards. The 6-foot-9 forward/center played 26 minutes off the bench the last time out, and he should take on a similar role against the Mavericks if available.
Aaron Nesmith

IND Guard-Forward #23

Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game against the Mavericks.

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.
Andrew Nembhard

IND Guard-Forward #2

Andrew Nembhard (back) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Mavericks.

Nembhard did not play in Friday’s loss to the Wizards, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for T.J. McConnell. McConnell, who is also questionable for Sunday, only played 15 minutes, and he is not worth the risk in standard leagues due to the playing time.
T.J. McConnell

IND Guard #9

T.J. McConnell (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Mavericks.

McConnell started Friday’s loss to the Wizards, filling the void left by Andrew Nembhard. However, the veteran point guard only played 15 minutes, with fellow starter Kam Jones logging 39. If Nembhard can play on Sunday, McConnell will come off the bench if available.
Kam Jones

IND Guard #7

Kam Jones (back) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Mavericks.

Despite exiting Thursday’s loss to the Wizards after 14 minutes because of a lower back issue, Jones started and played 39 minutes the following night before departing for the same reason. If Andrew Nembhard (back) can play, the rookie will be asked to come off the bench. The availability of Nembhard and Jones also affects Quenton Jackson, who may be inactive if both can play.
Kam Jones

IND Guard #7

Kam Jones (back) finished Friday’s loss to the Wizards with four points (2-of-9 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, 11 assists and two steals.

After lower back soreness limited him to 14 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Wizards, Jones was available and started Friday’s rematch. Interestingly, the rookie logged 39 minutes before gingerly walking back to the locker room late in the fourth quarter. The good news is that Jones recorded a season-high 11 assists, but the finish was disappointing for injury-related reasons. If Jones is available for Sunday’s game against the Mavericks, he’ll come off the bench if Andrew Nembhard (back) plays.
Quenton Jackson

IND Guard #29

Quenton Jackson tallied 21 points (8-of-13 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in Friday’s loss to the Wizards.

Inactive for Thursday’s loss to the Wizards, Jackson was back in the rotation on Friday. And he took advantage of the opportunity, shooting over 50 percent from the field, and the Pacers guard has scored at least 19 points in three of his last four appearances. The issue for fantasy managers is that Jackson isn’t guaranteed to be active every night as he’s still on a two-way contract. If Andrew Nembhard (back) remains out on Sunday and Jackson is active, deep-league managers should consider streaming him.
Jay Huff

IND Center #32

Jay Huff amassed 22 points (8-of-11 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), one rebound, two assists and five three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Wizards.

After playing 21 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Wizards, Huff played 16 in Friday’s rematch. The good news for fantasy managers is that he shot 5-of-8 from beyond the arc, but his production was largely limited to points and three-pointers. For the second straight night, Micah Potter (18/5/2/1 with four three-pointers) played more minutes than Huff despite coming off the bench. Huff remains the preferred option for fantasy managers, but those competing in deeper leagues should consider Potter if they’re in dire need of a frontcourt player.
Kam Jones

IND Guard #7

Kam Jones, T.J. McConnell, Ben Sheppard, Jarace Walker and Jay Huff will start Friday’s game against the Wizards.

The Pacers won’t have Andrew Nembhard or Aaron Nesmith for Friday’s game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Jones and McConnell, who were initially listed as questionable, will fill the resulting voids. While neither player is a must-stream option, they’re worth a look in deep leagues due to the Pacers’ lack of perimeter depth.
