Andrew Nembhard

IND Guard-Forward #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Andrew Nembhard had 13 points (5-of-14 FGs), six rebounds, nine assists, two steals and three three-pointers against the Celtics on Monday.

Nembhard scored 29 points in his return game from a back injury against the Heat on Saturday. The 25-year-old point guard had more of a down game Monday with just 13 points on 14 field goal attempts. Nembhard played 33 minutes against the Celtics, which is a sign that his back wasn’t bothering him. He’ll have Tuesday to rest before the Pacers take on the Raptors on Wednesday.
Jay Huff

IND Center #32

Jay Huff had 20 points (8-of-12 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers against the Celtics on Monday.

Huff is only averaging 8.1 points per game this season, but occasionally he’ll have a legitimate offensive outburst. Monday was the second time in the last four games that Huff had at least 20 points and made at least four three-pointers. The 28-year-old center’s primary fantasy utility is still his shot-blocking in deeper formats, but the points and threes don’t hurt either.
Pascal Siakam

IND Forward #43

Pascal Siakam had 21 points (10-of-15 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block in the Pacers’ 98-96 victory over the Celtics on Monday.

Siakam bounced back with 21 points after he scored just 11 points in 26 minute against the Heat on Saturday. With six seconds left in regulation, the 31-year-old power forward drove the lane and hit a floater off the glass to put the Pacers ahead by two, which set up the victory, though it’s only their ninth of the season. He’s provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Pacers will take on the Raptors at home on Wednesday.
Jay Huff

IND Center #32

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

Nembhard is good to go after initially being questionable for Monday’s game. The lone change to the lineup that started Saturday’s win over the Heat is Huff, who steps in for Quenton Jackson.
Andrew Nembhard

IND Guard-Forward #2

Andrew Nembhard (back) is available for Monday’s game against the Celtics.

Nembhard returned from a one-game absence Saturday and had 29 points and nine assists in the win over the Heat. He’s available Monday against the Celtics despite being initially listed as questionable with a sore lower back. We’ll see how Nembhard holds up this week as the Pacers have four games in Week 13.
Andrew Nembhard

IND Guard-Forward #2

Andrew Nembhard (back) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Celtics.

Nembhard returned to action on Saturday after a one-game absence, tallying 29 points and nine assists in a win over the Heat. If he’s unable to play on Monday, Quenton Jackson would likely shift back into the starting point guard role, with T.J. McConnell’s playing time increasing off the bench.
Pascal Siakam

IND Forward #43

Pascal Siakam recorded 11 points (4-of-15 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in Saturday’s win over the Heat.

Siakam had a rough night shooting the basketball, but he still managed to avoid missing double figures for the first time this season. While category league managers took a beating in the field-goal percentage category, Siakam did offer value in the rebound and assist categories. The Pacers open a four-game Week 13 on Monday against the Celtics.
Jarace Walker

IND Forward #5

Jarace Walker accounted for 11 points (4-of-8 FGs), nine rebounds, four assists, four steals, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Heat.

Walker finished one rebound shy of his first double-double of the season, matching his previous high with the nine rebounds. While his playing time was pumped up somewhat due to Saturday’s game being a blowout, Walker has logged at least 15 minutes in 14 of his last 16 appearances. Don’t be surprised if he emerges as a silly-season standout, as the Pacers will want to see more of their 2023 lottery pick between now and the end of the season.
Aaron Nesmith

IND Guard-Forward #23

Aaron Nesmith finished Saturday’s win over the Heat with 12 points (4-of-12 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer.

Outside of Andrew Nembhard, the Pacers did not have any standout scorers on Saturday. However, seven players finished in double figures, including Nesmith. He was just 1-of-5 from beyond the arc, but the Pacers’ wing was responsible for a team-high nine rebounds. Over the past two weeks, Nesmith has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats. As long as he’s available, Aaron can offer late-round value the rest of the season.
Andrew Nembhard

IND Guard-Forward #2

Andrew Nembhard amassed 29 points (10-of-16 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, nine assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Heat.

Nembhard wasn’t available for Thursday’s win over the Hornets, and he was initially questionable for Saturday’s game with a sore lower back. He made up for lost time with an excellent showing against the Heat, leading seven Pacers in double figures while also dishing out nine assists without a turnover. Nembhard’s return did not push Quenton Jackson (six points, one rebound, one assist and one steal) to the bench, but it did lower the two-way contract guard’s streaming ceiling. The Pacers play four games in Week 13, starting with the Celtics on Monday.
