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. |

Quenton Jackson Nembhard, Jackson, Nesmith, Siakam, Potter start
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. |

Jarace Walker Jarace Walker (illness) downgraded to out vs. NYK
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. |

Micah Potter Micah Potter (hip) upgraded to available vs. NYK
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. |
|
Aaron Nesmith Aaron Nesmith, T.J. McConnell available vs. NYK
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. |
|
T.J. McConnell T.J. McConnell (hamstring) questionable vs. NYK
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 11:42 AM
NBA Injury Report
T.J. McConnell (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: If there's some good news to come from McConnell landing on the injury report, it's that this listing is due to a sore right hamstring. An injury to his left hamstring during the preseason pushed the veteran's season debut back to mid-November. If McConnell can't play on Tuesday, more opportunities will be available for the rookie Kam Jones. |
|
Micah Potter Micah Potter (hip) questionable vs. New York
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 11:40 AM
NBA Injury Report
Micah Potter (hip) is questionable to play against the Knicks on Tuesday.
Analysis: Potter has been dealing with this hip issue over the past week, though he has been able to play in Indiana's last two games. He played 26 minutes on Sunday, though he hasn't been able to produce much value during his time on the floor. |
|
Ivica Zubac Zubac (ankle) could make Pacers debut Tuesday
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 11:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ivica Zubac (ankle) is questionable to play against the Knicks on Tuesday.
Analysis: Zubac was dealt to Indiana at the trade deadline and could suit up for his new team for the first time. Though managers shouldn't expect him to suit up often this year, his presence will push Jay Huff to a bench role. |
|
Aaron Nesmith Aaron Nesmith (hand) questionable vs. New York
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 11:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Nesmith (hand) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Nesmith, who is dealing with a strained left hand, started and played 23 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Raptors. If he's unable to play on Tuesday, Ben Sheppard's playing time would likely increase. Sheppard's production has been modest for most of this season, so he is not a must-stream player, even on a four-game night. |

Andrew Nembhard Andrew Nembhard struggles, finishes with 10 points
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 11:39 AM
Andrew Nembhard accounted for 10 points (4-of-18 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Sunday's loss to the Raptors.
Analysis: Nembhard had a rough afternoon in Toronto, continuing a slump in which he's shot 12-of-40 from the field over his last three games. Having shot 36.1 percent from the field, his fantasy value is ranked outside the top 150 over the past two weeks. While his season-long fantasy value remains respectable, Nembhard's value has not received the boost that many fantasy managers hoped with Tyrese Haliburton unavailable. He's higher on opposing teams' scouting reports, and that's affected Nembhard's efficiency. |

Pascal Siakam Pascal Siakam scores team-high 18 points vs. TOR
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 11:39 AM
Pascal Siakam finished Sunday's loss to the Raptors with 18 points (7-of-15 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Sunday's game got away from Siakam and the Pacers in the third quarter, as the Raptors outscored them by a 44-26 margin. That factored into Spicy P playing only 24 minutes, which may be a concerning development for managers counting on him to deliver consistently excellent production through the fantasy playoffs. However, this was the first game since January 10 in which Siakam played less than 32 minutes, so there's no need to panic. The Pacers play five games in Week 17, starting with the Knicks on Tuesday. |

Micah Potter Micah Potter (hip) available vs. Toronto
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 8:15 AM
Indiana Pacers
Micah Potter (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Potter was active for Friday's loss to the Bucks, playing 16 minutes off the bench. He'll likely take on a similar workload against Toronto, which makes Potter a non-factor in most fantasy leagues. |
|
Aaron Nesmith Aaron Nesmith (elbow) upgraded to available
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 8:12 AM
Indiana Pacers
Aaron Nesmith (elbow) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Initially questionable for Sunday's game, Nesmith is good to go. He'll take on his usual role within the starting lineup, and Jarace Walker remains with the reserves. |
|
Micah Potter Micah Potter (hip) questionable vs. Toronto
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 10:52 AM
NBA Injury Report
Micah Potter (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Potter played 16 minutes off the bench in Friday's loss to the Bucks and will take on a similar workload if available on Sunday. If Potter can't play, starter Jay Huff's playing time will likely increase, with the Pacers going small when he's not on the court. |
|
Aaron Nesmith Aaron Nesmith (elbow) questionable vs. Toronto
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 10:48 AM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Nesmith (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Nesmith is dealing with a sprained left elbow. If he can't play on Sunday, the Pacers would likely move Jarace Walker of Ben Sheppard into the starting lineup. Turnover concerns aside, Walker offers a much higher fantasy ceiling than Sheppard. |
