Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (illness) is questionable to suit up against the Warriors on Thursday. A stomach bug kept him out from Tuesday's clash with the Rockets, and he could now miss a second consecutive game. The trio of Andrew Nembhard, Buddy Hield, and Ben Sheppard will have a chance to play more without Mathurin. Hield had the best game out of the three on Tuesday with 12 points and six assists in 24 minutes off the bench.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Golden State. He's played in five straight games since returning to the lineup, despite carrying the questionable tag, so it should be safe to assume Haliburton will play versus Stephen Curry & Co. His minutes might also be on the up after Haliburton logged 29 minutes on Tuesday versus Houston. Meanwhile, T.J. McConnell's minutes will continue to shrink as Haliburton gets close to being 100 percent.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett may miss Wednesday's matchup with Indiana. The 23-year-old didn't practice on Tuesday because of a personal issue and carries a questionable tag heading into Wednesday's contest. Barrett has played well since his trade from the Knicks, averaging a career-high 20.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 18 appearances with the Raptors. He's missed some time due to injury. But overall, fantasy managers are pleased with his production. Nonetheless, if Barrett isn't available in the final game heading into the All-Star break, Bruce Brown and Gradey Dick should benefit.

Indiana Pacers forward/center Jalen Smith (back) won't play on Wednesday versus the Toronto Raptors. The 23-year-old, averaging 10.8 points and 5.6 rebounds this season, has missed the last two games because of back spasms. However, the Pacers will enter the All-Star break after Wednesday's contest, so there's a good chance Smith will return for the February 22 clash with the Pistons. Of course, Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner get most of the work underneath the rim, although Smith's absence will allow Isaiah Jackson and Obi Toppin to get extra work.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) won't return to Tuesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. The veteran wasn't around long in this one, logging just five minutes before exiting because of a hamstring issue. He's averaged only 18.7 points during the 2023-24 campaign, nearly five points fewer than last season. Beal has also missed 24 games due to a variety of ailments, so fantasy managers are already planning to be without him for Wednesday's game with the Detroit Pistons, the final contest before the All-Star break. That said, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker will pick up most of the slack offensively, with Grayson Allen and Eric Gordon likely to get more involved on the scoring end until Beal returns.
