Rotoworld Player News

Andrew Nembhard

IND Guard-Forward #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Andrew Nembhard accounted for 26 points (10-of-18 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, 12 assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Kings.

Nembhard finished Monday’s victory with a season-high 12 assists, and the double-double was his first since March 8, 2025. With Tyrese Haliburton out for the season, it has effectively been Nembhard’s show to run, but an injury kept him on the sidelines for two weeks earlier this season. Since November 8, the Pacers guard has been a seventh-round player in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his Yahoo! ADP (74). Unsurprisingly, Nembhard is rostered in 92 percent of Yahoo! leagues.
Pascal Siakam

IND Forward #43

Pascal Siakam amassed 23 points (10-of-21 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Monday’s win over the Kings.

Counting Monday, Siakam has scored at least 23 points in six straight and eight of his last nine games. The Pacers forward has seen his season-long fantasy value decline, mainly due to the team’s many injuries, most notably Tyrese Haliburton. While the point guard’s absence may have been viewed as an opportunity for Siakam to do more playmaking, that isn’t how things have worked out. He’s providing seventh-round value in eight-cat formats, well behind his Yahoo! ADP (30).
Bennedict Mathurin

IND Guard-Forward #00

Bennedict Mathurin tallied 25 points (7-of-14 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Kings.

For the first time since the Pacers’ first two games of the season, Mathurin has scored at least 25 points in back-to-back games. He was efficient against the Kings, posting solid percentages and committing only one turnover. Over the past two weeks, Mathurin has provided seventh-round per-game game value in eight-cat formats. The good news for fantasy managers is that the Pacers still have two more games to play in Week 8, starting with the 76ers on Friday.
Ethan Thompson

IND Guard #55

Andrew Nembhard, Ethan Thompson, Bennedict Mathurin, Pascal Siakam and Jay Huff will start Monday’s game against the Kings.

After playing 34 minutes in Friday’s win over the Bulls, Thompson moves into the Pacers’ starting lineup. His promotion comes at the expense of Garrison Mathews, whose limited fantasy value takes a hit with the move to the bench. The other four starters are unchanged.
Ben Sheppard

IND Guard #26

Ben Sheppard (calf) is out for Monday’s game against the Kings.

Sheppard will miss a second straight game after straining his calf during a December 3 loss to the Nuggets. How much time he’ll miss remains unknown. While Jarace Walker has made starts in the past, the Pacers went with Garrison Mathews for Friday’s game against the Bulls. Neither player is a must-roster option, but Mathews can provide three-point production as a starter.
Pascal Siakam

IND Forward #43

Pascal Siakam had 36 points (13-of-24 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, two steals and five three-pointers in the Pacers’ 120-105 victory over the Bulls on Friday.

Siakam remains the top option on the Pacers as they navigate this season without Tyrese Haliburton. The 31-year-old power forward has expanded his game to include three-point shooting and knocked down five threes against the Bulls on Friday. The Pacers are off for the rest of the weekend and have three games on the schedule in Week 8.
Ben Sheppard

IND Guard #26

Ben Sheppard (calf) is out for Friday’s game against the Bulls.

Sheppard suffered a strained left calf during Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets and will miss some time. How long he’ll be out has not been made public by the Pacers, but his absence does not affect fantasy basketball. However, it may mean that Jarace Walker returns to the starting five after playing 22 minutes off the bench on Wednesday.
Pascal Siakam

IND Forward #43

Pascal Siakam had 23 points (7-of-16 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers against the Nuggets on Wednesday.

Siakam remains a solid scorer as he’s averaging 24.1 points per game this year, though his overall fantasy value hasn’t lived up to preseason expectations. The 31-year-old power forward was drafted in the third-round, but is providing seventh-round value so far this year. Siakam also comes with the risk of being shut down on a struggling Pacers team that’s going through a rebuilding year.
Johnny Furphy

IND Guard #12

Johnny Furphy (ankle) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets.

Due to a sprained left ankle, Furphy has not appeared in a game since November 3. While Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said that the second-year wing will be available for Wednesday’s game, fantasy managers should not interpret that as a guarantee that he’ll see the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball. Leave Furphy on the waiver wire.
Jay Huff

IND Center #32

Jay Huff accumulated 15 points (6-of-10 FGs), three rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Cavaliers.

Huff has reached double figures in five straight, with Monday’s point total being his highest since November 19 (season-high 20 vs. Charlotte). He’s been the starting center the last three games, with Isaiah Jackson (6/3/0/1/2 in 16 minutes) being pushed to the bench. While iJax is the Pacers’ former first-round pick, Huff has been more consistently productive, and he’s received more opportunities as a result.
