Bennedict Mathurin's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. It appears Mathurin is dealing with a stomach illness, so the team will hold him out of this contest. The good news is that this probably won't be a multi-game absence for him. In the meantime, Ben Sheppard figures to see more minutes in the rotation. Also, Buddy Hield and Aaron Nesmith should have larger roles on Tuesday.

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (toe) will suit up for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Mathurin will return to the lineup after missing Friday's game due to a toe sprain. Ben Sheppard played 22 minutes off the bench, but is expected to have a reduced role with Mathurin back in the picture. Sheppard isn't consistent enough to trust in fantasy formats right now. Fantasy managers can get Mathurin back in their lineups ahead of Friday's slate.

Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle says guard Bennedict Mathurin (toe) is still out for Thursday's meeting with the New York Knicks. This will mark Mathurin's second straight absence due to a sprained right toe, and he'll have a quick turnaround if he wants to return for Indy's next game, which arrives back home on Friday versus the visiting Sacramento Kings. The 22-year-old offensive-minded wing has been a far superior fantasy asset in points leagues, recording 14.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.3 treys per game on 36.4% shooting from beyond the arc in his second season. With T.J. McConnell (illness) back in the fold on Thursday, Andrew Nembhard can play more of a two-guard role from the Pacers' second unit. Keep an eye on rookie Ben Sheppard's minutes in very deep leagues while Mathurin remains unavailable.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (toe) is considered questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Knicks. A toe sprain kept him out from Tuesday's clash with Boston, and Mathurin might have to sit again with the same issue. Buddy Hield and Aaron Nesmith played huge minutes without Mathurin on Tuesday, while Andrew Nembhard went close to 30 minutes off the bench. The trio should soak in most of Mathurin's minutes again if he can't return on Thursday.

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.
