Indiana Pacers

Indiana Pacers forward/center Isaiah Jackson (finger) remains on the injury report as questionable as the team gets ready for Monday's rematch versus Boston. Jackson has suffered a hairline fracture to his right fifth finger, but he's managed to play through the injury and logged nine minutes in Saturday's 118-101 loss to the Celtics. It appears likely that Jackson will also be available on Monday. The 21-year-old has bags of potential but is in a rough spot fantasy-wise in Indiana as long as Myles Turner and Jalen Smith stay healthy.

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith had to exit Friday's 150-116 win over Atlanta early after spraining his left ankle. He was having a very good game before rolling his ankle in a battle for a rebound. Nesmith finished with 15 points, two rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block across 22 minutes of action, shooting 7-for-11. He'll be desperate to play on Saturday against his former team, the Celtics, but his chances of remaining in the lineup don't look great. Nesmith's injury could give Buddy Hield or Bennedict Mathurin another chance in the starting unit.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Raptors are "ramping up" trade discussions involving forward Pascal Siakam. Additionally, Charania reported that the Sacramento Kings have emerged as a legitimate suitor. But with the 29-year-old on an expiring contract, his long-term commitment to Sacramento (or any other franchise) is a significant component of a potential deal. Siakam has been an All-Star caliber performer over the years, averaging 17.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 4.9 assists in 505 appearances. Without a doubt, the 2016 No. 27 overall pick would make Sacramento an even bigger threat in the West. However, Siakam's pairing with Domantas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox may negatively impact his production on the scoring end.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) won't play on Friday night versus the Atlanta Hawks. The 23-year-old injured his back during Monday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks and didn't suit up for the rematch on Wednesday. Although Tyrese Haliburton will see more than enough minutes at the one, others like T.J. McConnell and Bennedict Mathurin should continue to receive more work. However, while McConnell and Mathurin both have a higher ceiling without Nembhard on the floor, neither can be trusted from a fantasy standpoint.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) has been listed as questionable on the early morning injury report as he deals with a mid-back sprain. This year, Nembhard has seen stretches of injury issues in between spurts of getting starts and minutes off of the bench. His role has been all over the place, so the inconsistency from a fantasy standpoint can get quite frustrating. If he ends up staying on the sidelines for a second consecutive game with his back issues, Bennedict Mathurin and T.J. McConnell would get some extra minutes off of the bench. One of those two may even move into the starting lineup if Bruce Brown (knee) isn't upgraded from questionable.
