Indiana Pacers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) will miss the next three games before being re-evaluated on Saturday, head coach Rick Carlisle announced on Tuesday. The Pacers star has played in only one of the last seven games. T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard (back) will be Carlisle's remaining point guard options. The former could be set for a big performance on Tuesday against Denver, as Nembhard is considered questionable for the game. With both Haliburton and Nembhard on the shelf, McConnell turned in a nice 20-point, 10-assist performance against Sacramento last week.

Indiana Pacers forward/center Isaiah Jackson (concussion) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets. He's sat out two games while being in concussion protocol. However, it looks like Jackson could be cleared to return on Tuesday. The 22-year-old is a good per-minute performer, but he doesn't get a lot of playing time for the Pacers behind Myles Turner, and Pascal Siakam's addition to the frontcourt will further complicate Jackson's situation.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. The 23-year-old was sidelined for five games before returning for Friday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. He played well in that one, ending the night with 21 points and 17 assists. But he wasn't available for Sunday's meeting with the Phoenix Suns. However, head coach Rick Carlisle indicated Haliburton was out for injury management, easing concerns throughout the fantasy basketball community. That said, barring a setback, Haliburton will suit up versus the defending champs. But if he can't, Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner would presumably remain the primary offensive options. At the same time, players like Buddy Hield, T.J. McConnell, Obi Toppin, and Andrew Nembhard, among others, could see more scoring opportunities.

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.
