Indiana Pacers

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (knee) is dealing with some knee soreness and has been listed as questionable ahead of tip-off on Friday. The starting combo guard only played five minutes in their last game and now appears on the injury report. In that game, Bennedict Mathurin, T.J. McConnell, and Ben Sheppard all saw more minutes. If Nembhard isn't ready to play on Friday, the same three should see a bump in production.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) is questionable for Friday's matchup versus the New Orleans Pelicans. The 28-year-old averaged 15.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals in the Pacers' first four games this season. Unfortunately, he missed Wednesday's overtime win over the Boston Celtics because of a sprained ankle. Isaiah Jackson got the start in that one, finishing with 10 points, five rebounds, two steals, and two blocks. Obi Toppin also had his best game of the 2024-25 campaign by amassing 18 points, seven boards, one block, and one steal. If Turner misses another contest, Jackson will likely remain with the first five, with Toppin getting some extra minutes off the bench. Both players would be worth adding to fantasy rosters. However, Turner must be ruled out first.

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The Pacers will be without Myles Turner (ankle), so Jackson getting the starting nod shouldn't be surprising. He could see significant run with backup center James Wiseman (Achilles) out for the year, so the Pacers are limited in terms of big men. Obi Toppin should get some minutes at the center spot, but Jackson is the much better streaming option between the two. Fantasy managers should consider Jackson a possible streaming choice until Jackson returns.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against the Boston Celtics. He was listed as questionable heading into this one. However, the sprained ankle will keep him off the floor versus the defending champs. Without Turner in the equation, Isaiah Jackson, who averaged 13.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in three starts during the 2023-24 campaign, is worth adding to any fantasy lineup.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Boston Celtics. The 28-year-old has played well this season, averaging 15.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks. But he's in danger of missing the Pacers' fifth game on the schedule because of a sprained left ankle. If Turner doesn't suit up, Isaiah Jackson, averaging 13.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in three starts last season, has a place in all fantasy lineups. He'll also be a popular DFS value option.
