Micah Potter Micah Potter has 21 points, five threes in win
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 1:36 PM
Micah Potter had 21 points (7-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds and five three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Heat.
Analysis: Potter is averaging 8.9 points per game this year and typically plays 20 minutes or less per game. The 27-year-old center isn't afraid to shoot threes, though, when he has the opportunity. Sunday was one of those games and he had his second game with at least 20 points in the last four weeks. Potter will continue in a depth role, which takes him off the fantasy radar. |

Andrew Nembhard had 15 points (6-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, 10 assists and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Heat.
Analysis: Nembhard has now had at least 10 assists in four consecutive games, a stretch that includes a career-high 19-assist game against the Lakers. The 26-year-old has an impressive 53/8 assist/turnover ratio over his last four games. The Pacers have three games upcoming in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Bulls on Wednesday. |

Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 1:25 PM
Pascal Siakam had 30 points (11-of-24 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), 11 rebounds, six assists, one steal and three three-pointers in the Pacers' 135-118 victory over the Heat on Sunday.
Analysis: Siakam was ejected from Wednesday's loss to the Lakers and had only 11 points in Friday's loss to the Clippers, but bounced back with a big game in the win over the Heat on Sunday. The Pacers have three games coming up in the week ahead, starting with a road matchup against the Bulls on Wednesday. |

Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 10:48 AM
NBA Lineups
Andrew Nembhard, Quenton Jackson, Ethan Thompson, Jalen Slawson and Pascal Siakam will start Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Nembhard and Siakam are the only holdovers from the five who started Friday's loss to the Clippers. Jackson, Thompson and Slawson will start, as the Pacers are without Aaron Nesmith and Jarace Walker. Also, Jay Huff will come off the bench after starting on Friday. |

Obi Toppin Obi Toppin (back) upgraded to available vs. Miami
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 10:26 AM
NBA Injury Report
Obi Toppin (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Toppin is good to go after initially being questionable. With Jarace Walker (back) unavailable, there may be a few more opportunities for Toppin, who scored 20 points in Friday's loss to the Clippers. |
|
Jarace Walker Jarace Walker (back) out Sunday vs. Heat
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 10:22 AM
Jarace Walker (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Walker was initially listed as doubtful with a back injury for Sunday's game against the Heat, so his absence isn't a surprise. The 22-year-old forward left Friday's loss to the Clippers after a nasty spill, though he cleared concussion protocol. With Walker out, Jalen Slawson could enter the rotation, but he's not worth the risk in most fantasy leagues. |
|
Aaron Nesmith Aaron Nesmith (neck) downgraded to out vs. Miami
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 10:22 AM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Nesmith (neck) is out for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Nesmith will miss Sunday's game with a cervical strain. His absence likely frees up additional minutes for Ben Sheppard, who is not a must-stream player with Pascal Siakam and Andrew Nembhard available. |

Andrew Nembhard Andrew Nembhard, T.J. McConnell available vs. MIA
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 10:19 AM
NBA Injury Report
Andrew Nembhard (back) and T.J. McConnell (hamstring) are available for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Nembhard and McConnell are good to go for Sunday's game, preserving the Pacers' usual point guard rotation. While the former is already rostered in 12-team leagues, the latter is only worth considering in deep leagues. |
|
Pascal Siakam Pascal Siakam (knee) available Sunday vs. Heat
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 10:18 AM
Pascal Siakam (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Siakam was initially listed as questionable as he continues to manage a knee injury, but was ruled in for Sunday's game against the Heat. The 31-year-old power forward was ejected from Wednesday's loss to the Lakers and had just 11 points in 33 minutes in Friday's loss to the Clippers. |

Jarace Walker Jarace Walker (back) downgraded to doubtful
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 9:28 AM
Dustin Dopirak
Jarace Walker (back) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: If there's a positive to Walker's status, it's that a lower back contusion is the reason for his likely absence. He exited Friday's loss to the Clippers during the first quarter after hitting his head on the court and then the stanchion, but the third-year forward cleared concussion protocols. If Walker sits, there may be room in the rotation for Jalen Slawson, but he is not worth streaming. |
|
Aaron Nesmith Aaron Nesmith (neck) downgraded to doubtful
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 6:53 AM
NBA Injury Report
Aaron Nesmith (neck) is now doubtful for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Initially listed as questionable due to lower back soreness, Nesmith is now doubtful due to a cervical strain. With the Pacers' starter on track to not play, more minutes would become available to Kobe Brown and Ben Sheppard. Brown's minutes would also be affected by the status of Jarace Walker, who's questionable with a lower back bruise. |
|
Pascal Siakam Pascal Siakam, Aaron Nesmith questionable vs. MIA
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 12:22 PM
NBA Injury Report
Pascal Siakam (knee) and Aaron Nesmith (back) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Siakam is questionable due to knee injury management, while Nesmith is dealing with a sore back. Ben Sheppard and Kobe Brown are two players whose minutes could increase if Siakam or Nesmith can't play due to their injuries. |
|
Andrew Nembhard Andrew Nembhard, T.J. McConnell questionable
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 12:17 PM
NBA Injury Report
Andrew Nembhard (back) and T.J. McConnell (hamstring) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Nembhard is back on the report, this time due to lower back injury management, while McConnell's right hamstring remains an issue for the veteran backup. If either can't play on Sunday, Quenton Jackson would take on an enhanced role within the rotation. Kam Jones could pick up a few minutes, but that is not guaranteed. |

Jarace Walker Jarace Walker, Obi Toppin questionable vs. Miami
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 11:12 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jarace Walker (concussion) and Obi Toppin (back) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Walker had to leave Friday's loss to the Clippers in the first quarter, as he hit his head on the court and then the stanchion after being fouled by John Collins on a dunk attempt. If he cannot play on Sunday, Kobe Brown could move into the starting lineup, but Toppin (if available) offers greater fantasy upside. Toppin played 23 minutes on Friday, the most for him since returning from the foot injury that he suffered in late October. |

Obi Toppin Obi Toppin hits four triples, scores 20 points
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 4:09 PM
Obi Toppin finished Friday's loss to the Clippers with 20 points (8-of-11 FGs), eight rebounds, four assists and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Despite limited playing time, Toppin has scored in double figures in five of his last six appearances. Friday's output was aided, in part, by Jarace Walker (concussion) having to leave during the first quarter. Toppin matched his season-high with 20 points, and the 23 minutes are the most he's played since before injuring his foot in late October. If Walker has to miss time, starting with Sunday's game against the Heat, Toppin may be worth the risk in deep leagues. Kobe Brown started the third quarter in place of Walker, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in 27 minutes. |

Andrew Nembhard Andrew Nembhard records 13 points, 10 assists
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 4:07 PM
Andrew Nembhard accounted for 13 points (4-of-13 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), one rebound, 10 assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Clippers.
Analysis: For the first time this season, Nembhard has recorded at least 10 assists in three consecutive games. And he's kept the turnovers in check during this run, totaling 43 assists and six turnovers. Nembhard's field-goal percentage against the Clippers wasn't the best, but fantasy managers will be pleased with the assists and âstocks.â He'll look to end Week 22 on a high note when the Pacers host the Heat on Sunday. |

Aaron Nesmith Aaron Nesmith scores team-high 26 points vs. LAC
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 4:07 PM
Aaron Nesmith produced 26 points (10-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Clippers.
Analysis: Nesmith has now reached double figures in three straight and eight of his last nine appearances, scoring at least 20 points in three. Against the Clippers, he was highly efficient shooting the basketball, making over 71 percent of his attempts. The five turnovers weren't great, but that was the lone issue for fantasy managers to be disappointed in. The Pacers play once more in Week 22, as they host the Heat on Sunday. |

Indiana Pacers
Jarace Walker (concussion) will not return to Friday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Walker was injured during the first quarter of Friday's game, hitting his head on the court after being fouled by Clippers forward John Collins while throwing down a dunk. While he wanted to remain in the game to attempt his free throw, the Pacers' forward was taken to the locker room to undergo a concussion evaluation. Kobe Brown started the third quarter. |

Analysis: Toppin is available after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. While he has provided some value off the bench, Toppin's playing time has limited his fantasy upside. |
