Pacers' Jalen Smith: Steps up in loss

Smith finished with 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two blocks in 21 minutes during Monday's 147-143 loss to Philadelphia.

With starting center Myles Turner fouling out in 17 minutes while struggling to defend Joel Embiid, the Pacers were forced to turn to a three-man center rotation featuring both Smith and Isaiah Jackson. Smith was the preferred option of the reserve centers, playing 21 minutes to Jackson's nine. Though both Smith and Jackson have displayed fantasy-friendly skill sets, the unpredictability of whom head coach Rick Carlisle will turn to as the top backup to Turner on a given night makes it tough to rely on either big man as a streaming option.
