Indiana Pacers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard scored a team-high 23 points in Sunday's win over the Cavaliers. The 25-year-old also logged 37 minutes, more than anyone else on the roster, while missing only one of his six tries from behind the arc. While Nembhard struggled versus Cleveland during the regular season, averaging 8.5 points in four meetings, DFS managers must keep him on the radar on Tuesday night after such a strong effort.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton scored 22 points in Sunday's win over the Cavs. He added 13 assists, three blocks, and one steal. The 25-year-old was all over the place in Game 1, and he was also efficient shooting the ball, going 9-for-15 from the field. Cleveland fought hard to get back into the contest. However, it wasn't enough, with Indiana taking the series opener, mostly due to Haliburton's efforts on both ends of the floor. The teams will meet again on Tuesday night. With that in mind, DFS managers should expect to see an increase in Haliburton's rostering cost after the superb outing.

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (back) has been upgraded to available for Tuesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. The team initially gave him a probable tag on the injury report, as Nesmith is dealing with a lower back bruise. Nesmith has sunk 10 triples over the last three games, averaging 16.0 points during that stretch. He has also been a significant presence on the glass, collecting 5.0 rebounds per game in the first-round series.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (abdomen) will be active for Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. He missed Game 4 of the series due to an abdominal contusion. Indiana initially listed Mathurin as questionable for Tuesday's tilt, but his status has been upgraded to available. Mathurin has been limited to 40 percent shooting in the playoffs but is still averaging 12.0 points and 3.0 rebounds against Milwaukee. Jarace Walker and Ben Sheppard, who both logged over 20 minutes of action in Game 4, will see reduced playing time with Mathurin's return.

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (back) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 25-year-old is carrying a lower back bruise, but this is not expected to keep him off the floor. Nesmith has had a highly successful series, averaging 13.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals. He has scored at least 14 points in three out of four games, primarily due to his impressive 52.4 percent success rate from three-point range. Nesmith has averaged 27.5 minutes a night, so there will be a considerable gap to fill in the rotation if he suffers a setback and can't play.
