Huff closed with nine points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 21 minutes during Saturday's 128-109 loss to New Orleans.
Huff didn't have his best performance in this contest, though to be fair, the Pacers' frontcourt struggled mightily all game, except for Pascal Siakam (22 points, 6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-11 FT). Huff has been making his presence felt on defense, though, as he's recorded multiple blocks in each of his last 14 regular-season appearances.

Rotowire
Huff ended Thursday's 114-113 loss to the Knicks with six points (2-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 18 minutes.
Huff recorded two blocks in Thursday's loss to the Knicks and now has at least two swats in 21 straight games, including 13 consecutive games with two or more blocks. The 28-year-old center also pulled down double-digit boards for the first time since Nov. 9 against the Warriors. The Virginia product has started the past nine games for the Pacers, averaging 10.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.4 blocks, 2.0 threes and 1.9 assists in 24.6 minutes per game over that stretch.

Rotowire
Huff recorded 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds and four blocks over 25 minutes during Sunday's 108-89 loss to the Wizards.
This was Huff's eighth game this season with at least four swats, and his third over the past four. Not only does Huff lead the league in total blocks this season with 66, but he has 21 more blocks than the guy in the No. 2 spot, Victor Wembanyama.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Swats three more shots Friday
Rotowire
Huff recorded 13 points (4-12 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 28 minutes during Friday's 115-105 loss to Philadelphia.
Huff remains one of the best sources for blocks in the league, recording at least two blocks in 11 straight games. The 28-year-old big man also matched a season high with four threes, marking his fourth such game this season, which is tied for the second most by any forward or center. Huff has established himself as the Pacers' primary center, and his unique skill set has made him a valuable fantasy asset.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Another four blocks Monday
Rotowire
Huff contributed eight points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 116-105 victory over Sacramento.
Huff continues to produce on the defensive end, adding another four blocks to his growing season total. In the last seven games, Huff has averaged 10.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers and 3.6 blocks in just 25.5 minutes per contests. He has started six consecutive games and appears to have established himself as the primary center in Indiana. If you were lucky enough to have added him after a slow start to the season, sit back and enjoy the ride.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Strong two-way showing
Rotowire
Huff provided 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and four blocks across 25 minutes during Saturday's 103-101 victory over the Bulls.
Huff has started at center in the Pacers' last two games, and the results have been encouraging since he's racked up 26 points, 14 rebounds, four assists and eight blocks combined across both contests. His ability to protect the rim and produce on offense might allow him to keep the starting gig at this time, as he's been an upgrade -- both in fantasy and in real life -- over the other center options on the Pacers roster.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Serviceable effort in start
Rotowire
Huff racked up 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and four blocks over 22 minutes during Friday's 119-86 victory over Washington.
Huff moved back into the starting lineup, just the third time he has assumed that position all season. On the heels of some encouraging performances, Huff was rewarded and made the most of his opportunity. In three games over the past week, he has averaged 11.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers in 22.7 minutes per game. While the rotation could certainly change again, Huff is worth adding in standard fantasy leagues, at least for the time being.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Puts up 11 in loss
Rotowire
Huff contributed 11 points (3-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 18 minutes during Monday's 122-117 loss to the Pistons.
Huff has been steady in his role as Indiana's backup center but has shown that he can step up when necessary, as he has played 18, 26 and 27 minutes respectively in his last three games, averaging 12.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.7 steals, 2.7 threes and a whopping 3.0 blocks in that span. While Isaiah Jackson is likely to retain the starting role, Huff's strong performances could earn him more minutes moving forward.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Shines with additional minutes
Rotowire
Huff ended Wednesday's 127-118 win over Charlotte with 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three blocks across 27 minutes.
This was easily the best performance of the season for Huff, who is in his first season with Indiana. The sharpshooting big man received the most playing time he's seen all season and let it fly from deep while on the court. As Obi Toppin recovers from injury, outings like this one could lead to more opportunities going forward for Huff.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Returning to bench
Rotowire
Huff won't start against the Jazz on Tuesday.
Huff got the start against the Warriors on Sunday since Pascal Siakam (rest) got a maintenance day. Huff responded by posting the first double-double of his career, tallying 12 points and 11 rebounds across 22 minutes. However, Siakam is back in the lineup Tuesday, so Huff will return to the bench.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Efficient output in loss Wednesday
Rotowire
Huff provided 16 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two blocks over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 112-103 loss to the Nets.
Huff drained four of his nine three-pointers Wednesday and scored at a pace of nearly one point per minute despite coming off the bench. This 16-point output could easily end up being an outlier for Huff, however, as he had scored 25 points combined over his first seven appearances this season (one start). Fantasy managers shouldn't overreact after one game, and Huff is better suited to remain on waivers until he shows he can put up these numbers on a semi-consistent basis.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Huff will start in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
With several players sidelined for Sunday's contest, Huff will get the starting nod for the injury-plagued Pacers. The big man has averaged 3.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 11.0 minutes per game over two appearances this season.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Blocks three shots in preseason win
Rotowire
Huff produced eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 FT), three blocks, two rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes during Saturday's preseason win over Oklahoma City.
Huff came off the bench behind Isaiah Jackson, but he logged 17 minutes compared to Jackson's 12. The starting center spot remains wide open following the trade of Myles Turner to the Bucks. While Jackson appears as though he could have the inside track at this point, Huff certainly offers more versatility on the offensive end. Both are worth considering as late-round flyers in standard leagues.

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Sees floor in elimination game
Rotowire
Huff had one rebound, one assist and one block across six minutes during Saturday's 117-115 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Huff saw the floor in Saturday's elimination game loss after receiving two DNPs via a coach's decision in the club's last two outings. The big man appeared in two games during the first-round series, totaling eight points, three rebounds, three blocks and an assist across 18 minutes. Huff carved out a fairly inconsistent role off the bench in the 2024-25 campaign, finishing with averages of 6.9 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.9 blocks and 0.6 assists across 11.7 minutes per contest in 64 regular-season games (two starts).

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Muted role continues in win
Rotowire
Huff provided no counting stats across two minutes during Friday's 120-106 Play-In Game victory over the Mavericks.
Huff continues to play a very limited role for the Grizzlies despite the season-ending injury to Brandon Clarke. Outside of a 22-point performance in a blowout win over the Mavericks a week ago, Huff has barely touched the floor. He has appeared in 10 games over the past month, averaging 6.1 points in 10.1 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Fails to score in win
Rotowire
Huff accumulated zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt) over six minutes during Saturday's 109-103 win over Detroit.
Huff failed to score for the fifth straight game, two of which he failed to leave the bench. Despite a season-ending knee injury to Brandon Clarke, Huff has been unable to find a path to consistent minutes. In his past 12 games, Huff is averaging 6.1 points and 2.1 rebounds in 11.0 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Excels after Jackson's exit
Rotowire
Huff contributed 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one block across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 140-103 win over the Jazz.
Huff led a huge run in the third quarter after stepping in for Jaren Jackson. Huff posted 12 points, two rebounds and a block during the stanza and was a key factor in putting the game out of reach. He's buried on the depth chart, but the team's choice to use him immediately after Jackson's exit shows that he may have a leg up on Zach Edey in the rotation.

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Not starting vs. Utah
Rotowire
Huff is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Huff logged 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds and two blocks over 25 minutes during Monday's 120-118 victory over the Suns.
Huff made his second start of the season Monday due to the absences of Zach Edey (ankle) and Jaren Jackson (ankle). Huff made the most of the opportunity, but his fantasy upside will be tied to Edey's availability.

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Probable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Huff (knee) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Spurs.
Huff is dealing with left knee soreness, though he is expected to suit up Wednesday. The big man was held out of Monday's loss to the Rockets due to coach's decision. Over his last five outings, he has averaged 5.6 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per contest. Huff will likely continue to receive little playing time unless injuries arise at the center position.
