Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (rest) won't play on Sunday versus the Phoenix Suns. He returned from a five-game absence caused by a hamstring issue for Friday's loss to Portland, finishing with 21 points and 17 assists in 35 minutes. But Indiana will be cautious with the 23-year-old, so he'll get the night off to rest before presumably suiting up on Tuesday versus the Nuggets. In the meantime, Myles Turner, Pascal Siakam, and Bennedict Mathurin will likely handle most of the scoring duties. On the other hand, T.J. McConnell and Buddy Hield could be worth streaming in all fantasy leagues.
Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) is considered questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Nembhard has missed each of the last two games due to a spine sprain. His status normally isn't overly important, but starting guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is questionable as well for this game. That being said, T.J. McConnell could be asked to play a big role if both players sit out. Otherwise, Nembhard could have some streaming appeal if Haliburton is unable to go.
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Haliburton made his return to court on Friday after missing nearly two weeks of action. He played 35 minutes in that contest, so possibly the Pacers are just being cautious with their star guard. Andrew Nembhard (spine) is also questionable for Sunday's game. T.J. McConnell could be asked to move into the starting five and play big minutes. He'd be worth streaming if Haliburton is unable to play.
Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The big man exited early and landed in concussion protocol on Thursday. As a result, Jackson sat out on Friday and will miss Sunday's game as well. When healthy, Jackson is going to face an uphill battle for playing time. Pascal Siakam is going to start and play the bulk of the minutes, so Jackson will battle with Jalen Smith for minutes off the bench.
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) will play on Friday versus Portland. The 21-year-old carried a questionable tag on Friday, just like he did ahead of Thursday's win over the Sacramento Kings. But he's good to go, although the return of Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) and the debut of Pascal Siakam could significantly impact his production in all statistical areas. However, there's still no reason to keep him out of any fantasy lineup.
