Indiana Pacers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) won't return to Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Fantasy managers don't need to panic here as Haliburton's exit wasn't because he suffered an injury. Haliburton was on a minutes limit and taken out of the contest after 22 minutes of action. This was his first game since January 19, Haliburton could be restricted for a few games. Andrew Nembhard is worth holding in deep leagues until Haliburton is back to full strength.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) and center Myles Turner (back) will play in Tuesday's meeting with the Boston Celtics. Haliburton is back after missing 10 of Indy's past 11 games as management for his strained left hamstring, and he could be eased back into action. That shouldn't stop season-long managers from starting the All-Star floor general, though. Turner missed Sunday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies due to mid back spasms and also belongs in all fantasy lineups.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's encounter with Boston. He's been experiencing mid-back spasms and couldn't play Sunday versus Memphis. However, Turner was in Monday's practice, which is a sign that his absence could be limited to only one game. Boston is struggling with injuries on the frontcourt, so this could be a very good matchup for Turner. If he can't play, Jalen Smith (back), Isaiah Jackson, and Pascal Siakam should share the center minutes, although Smith is also carrying a questionable tag ahead of the contest.

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Mathurin is coming off a good performance on Sunday but carries a toe injury into this contest. The Pacers are extremely banged up with a handful of players on the injury report. The absence of Mathurin would likely mean more run for Buddy Hield during Tuesday's game. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Tuesday for another update on his status.

There's optimism that Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) will return to the lineup versus the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. Haliburton, who was selected as a starter in the upcoming All-Star Game, has missed 10 of Indy's past 11 games with a strained left hamstring. Head coach Rick Carlisle said on Sunday that Haliburton is day-to-day and expected to practice on Monday, so the hyper-efficient 23-year-old's return to the floor is drawing near. Andrew Nembhard has averaged 12.5 points, 6.5 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.8 three-pointers across 11 games for the Pacers without Haliburton this season and remains worth holding in fantasy leagues until Haliburton officially gets the green light.
