Jarace Walker Jarace Walker drops 23 points in win over Nets
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 5:15 PM
Jarace Walker led the Pacers with 23 points (9-of-18 FGs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in a 115-110 win over the Nets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Walker returned from a one-game absence due to an illness and was inserted into the starting unit with multiple starters sitting out. That led to his fourth 20-point outing of the season, which was enough for the Pacers to win their second straight game. Walker should continue to play a significant role down the stretch, and while there will likely be some inconsistency mixed in, he should have some big performances like this one. |

Micah Potter Micah Potter posts double-double off bench
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 5:08 PM
Micah Potter recorded a double-double on Wednesday with 18 points (6-of-8 FGs), 12 rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer against the Nets.
Analysis: Potter started the Pacers' game on Tuesday but was pushed to a reserve role for this one. However, his minutes only decreased by two. He ended up setting a new season-high for scoring and recorded his third double-double of the season. With Ivica Zubac expected to be sidelined for a while, Potter should be a big part of the rotation in Indiana for the remainder of the season, which could lead to more productive outings like this one. |

Analysis: Walker is back after sitting out Tuesday's win over the Knicks with an illness. With Johnny Furphy (knee) done for the season, there's a chance that Walker moves into the starting lineup. However, he'll have solid fantasy value for the rest of the season even if he comes off the bench. |

Analysis: Walker is listed as questionable with an illness for Wednesday's game against the Nets. With the Pacers dealing with a litany of other injuries, though, it seems like the 22-year-old forward should be available. With Pascal Siakam (hamstring) already ruled out, Walker could move into the starting lineup if he's available. |

Analysis: McConnell is set to miss Wednesday's game against the Nets with right hamstring soreness. With Aaron Nesmith (back) and Andrew Nembhard (back) also out, Ben Sheppard, Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson are all candidates to start and play more minutes on Wednesday. |
|

Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 7:09 AM
Andrew Nembhard (back) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Nembhard was ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets for lower back injury management reasons. Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson should see additional minutes given all of the Pacers injuries Wednesday, though neither is worth streaming in most fantasy leagues. |
|
Aaron Nesmith Aaron Nesmith (back) out Wednesday vs. Nets
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 7:04 AM
Pacers
Aaron Nesmith (back) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Nesmith is set to miss Wednesday's game against the Nets with lower back soreness. Ben Sheppard's playing time should increase and he could move into the starting lineup, though he's not worth streaming on a night with 14 games across the NBA. |
|

Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 7:00 AM
Pascal Siakam (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Siakam headlines a lengthy injury report for the Pacers on Wednesday.

Kobe Brown Kobe Brown plays 19 minutes in Pacers debut
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 4:40 PM
Kobe Brown accounted for eight points (3-of-4 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer in Tuesday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: While Ivica Zubac will have to wait until after the All-Star break to make his Pacers debut, Brown was part of the team's bench rotation on Tuesday. While the former first-round pick's production was solid, it wasn't enough to make him a must-add yet. That said, keep an eye on Brown after the All-Star break, especially if the Pacers decide to do all they can to lock down one of the league's four-worst records. |

Quenton Jackson Quenton Jackson hits four triples, scores 19
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 4:40 PM
Quenton Jackson amassed 19 points (5-of-7 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: Active after a two-game absence, Jackson was inserted into the starting lineup on Tuesday due to Johnny Furphy's season-ending knee injury. The two-way contract guard took advantage of his opportunity, shooting 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. In addition to the points and three-pointers, Jackson provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories as part of a complete stat line. With the Pacers playing Brooklyn on Wednesday, they'll likely be shorthanded. If Jackson is active, he'll be worth streaming if Pascal Siakam and Andrew Nembhard sit. |

Andrew Nembhard Andrew Nembhard posts 24 points, 10 assists
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 4:39 PM
Andrew Nembhard notched 24 points (9-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, 10 assists and four three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: After recording two double-doubles in 2024-25, Nembhard dropped his eighth of the 2025-26 season on Tuesday. With Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) out, the Pacers guard has shouldered more of the offensive workload. While Nembhard's fantasy value hasn't received the boost that many fantasy managers hoped for before the season began, his role makes him a must-roster player. As for Wednesday's game against the Nets, fantasy managers need to play for Nembhard not playing, as he's missed one leg of each of Indiana's last two back-to-backs. |

Pascal Siakam Pascal Siakam records 30/6/4/3 line vs. New York
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 4:38 PM
Pascal Siakam finished Tuesday's win over the Knicks with 30 points (11-of-26 FGs, 5-of-10 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, three steals and three three-pointers.
Analysis: The Pacers entered Tuesday with a 3-22 road record this season, but that didn't prevent them from taking down the Knicks in overtime. As he's done on many occasions this season, Siakam led the way offensively and showed why he's headed to the All-Star Game despite Indiana's poor record. The 30-point game was his tenth of the season and first since January 21. However, with Siakam having missed one leg of the Pacers' past two back-to-backs, this may have been his final appearance before the All-Star break. Consider him questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets. |

Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 1:15 PM
NBA Lineups
Andrew Nembhard, Quenton Jackson, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam and Micah Potter will start Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: The Pacers have made two changes to their starting lineup, one necessitated by injury. Jackson steps into the void left by Johnny Furphy, who suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's loss to the Raptors. The other change is Potter, who is inserted into the lineup at Jay Huff's expense. |

Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 12:55 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jarace Walker (illness) is out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Walker's absence will have an impact on the Pacers, as he has been a consistent performer recently. And with Johnny Furphy (knee) out for the season, there was a chance that Walker would have moved into the starting lineup. For Tuesday's game, Ben Sheppard and Kobe Brown are two players who can absorb the minutes that would have gone to Walker. |

Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 12:52 PM
NBA Injury Report
Micah Potter (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Potter's lingering hip issue isn't severe enough to keep him out of Tuesday's game. While he will be in the Pacers' rotation, there hasn't been much to gain from rostering Potter in fantasy leagues recently. |

Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 12:15 PM
Ian Begley
Aaron Nesmith (hand) and T.J. McConnell (hamstring) are available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Nesmith and McConnell were both listed as questionable on the initial injury report. While the former will occupy his usual spot in the Pacers' starting lineup, the latter will serve as Andrew Nembhard's backup at point guard. |

Jarace Walker Jarace Walker (illness) doubtful vs. New York
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 11:08 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jarace Walker (illness) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Walker is a late addition to the injury report, and the doubtful tag suggests that he will not be available for Tuesday's game. With Johnny Furphy (knee) done for the season, Ben Sheppard could move into the starting lineup after playing 27 minutes off the bench in Sunday's loss to the Raptors. |

Ivica Zubac Ivica Zubac (ankle) out through All-Star break
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 7:55 AM
Alex Golden
Pacers reporter Alex Golden reports that Ivica Zubac will not debut with Indiana until after the All-Star break.
Analysis: Fantasy managers will have to wait a little longer to see Zu in a Pacers' uniform, and it's unlikely he sees a ton of run for Indiana down the stretch of a lost season. While Zubac is on the shelf, Jay Huff should continue to start at center. |
