Indiana Pacers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (elbow) won't play on Sunday against Cleveland. He didn't suit up for Friday's loss to the Magic. As a result, Obi Toppin entered the starting lineup. Unfortunately, he struggled, ending the night with only four points. With Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith off the injury report, it's unknown if Toppin will remain with the first five. However, if he does stay in the starting lineup, there's a good chance he'll play better this time around.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (back) will remain out for Sunday's Central Division clash with the Cavaliers. He didn't suit up for Friday's loss to the Orlando Magic. But the Pacers are thinking about the playoffs, so Haliburton can take another game off. T.J. McConnell got the start versus Orlando, finishing with 12 points and three assists. Quenton Jackson, who had 13 points, could also be in line for more work, assuming he gets the call from the G League.

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (elbow) won't play on Friday against Orlando. The former Raptor had 10 points and eight boards in Thursday's win over the Cavs. However, the Pacers are locked into a playoff spot, so Siakam, Tyrese Haliburton (back), Aaron Nesmith (rest), Andrew Nembhard (thumb), and Myles Turner (knee) also won't suit up. Obi Toppin, averaging 28 points and seven rebounds in two starts this season, will likely fill the void at the four spot.
