Indiana Pacers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (illness) has been listed on the injury report as questionable while he deals with an illness. If he's able to give it a go, he'll go up against a banged-up Golden State Warriors team who will be down Draymond Green (back), Jonathan Kuminga (ankle), and maybe Trayce Jackson-Davis (eye - questionable). On the other hand, Thomas Bryant would probably stay in the starting five if Turner doesn't suit up. Bryant posted 22 points, eight rebounds, one assist, and two steals in their last game against the Bulls.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) drew a questionable tag for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors while dealing with a right ankle sprain. The star point guard hasn't missed a game yet this season, so this could be his first absence through the first 39 games. If he's unable to suit up, Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin will get instant boosts in fantasy value while T.J. McConnell may move into the starting five. Nembhard had the biggest game of the three in their last game with 14 points, six rebounds, five assists, and two steals.

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) is questionable to play on Wednesday against Chicago. The star guard hurt his ankle on Monday versus Brooklyn but was able to finish the game. However, the team has given him a questionable designation on the injury report entering Wednesday. T.J. McConnell will likely replace Haliburton in the starting unit if he can't play, while Andrew Nembhard might also see an uptick in minutes. The Pacers' backcourt should find plenty of joy against a team that gives up the second-most points in the league (121.0).

Indiana Pacers power forward Obi Toppin (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Milwaukee. He's been out for a pair of games with a left ankle sprain, and the team considers him day-to-day. Jarace Walker has impressed in an expanded role lately and should continue to get extra work if Toppin remains out. The 21-year-old has bagged 13.0 points and 3.3 rebounds across the past three games.

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) does not have a timeline for his return. Per Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said on Sunday that Nesmith is making progress but is without a timetable. The 25-year-old has been out since Nov. 1 with a left ankle sprain. Indiana kicked off the campaign with Nesmith among the starters. He averaged 9.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in 22.7 minutes before getting sidelined. Bennedict Mathurin has nailed down a starting role during Nesmith's absence.
