Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Questionable for Monday
McConnell is questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks due to a right hamstring strain.
McConnell missed the first nine games of the season due to a hamstring injury, which could hold him out for Monday's contest. If he is unavailable, Quenton Jackson is expected to see an expanded role.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Strikes for six points in season debut
McConnell ended Saturday's 114-102 loss to the Nuggets with six points (3-5 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one block across nine minutes.
McConnell made his season debut after battling a hamstring strain. The veteran floor general played limited minutes but was productive. He'll likely compete with Quenton Jackson for minutes this season.

Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Dishes out eight dimes in loss
Nembhard provided nine points (3-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight assists and one rebound across 31 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 loss to Denver.
Nembhard was efficient from downtown but attempted fewer than 10 shots for just the second time this season, finishing with a season-low scoring total. The 26-year-old guard was still productive as a playmaker, matching the game-high mark in assists. Over his last five appearances, Nembhard has averaged 18.8 points, 7.8 assists and 2.2 rebounds across 33.8 minutes per contest. He should continue to see expanded playmaking duties in Tyrese Haliburton's (hamstring) stead.

Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Double-doubles despite loss
Zubac notched 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and five assists in 19 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 loss to the Nuggets.
Zubac recorded his second double-double of the season, and his first since returning from an ankle injury that cost him five games. He was dealing with some foul trouble, which may have contributed to him playing just 19 minutes. However, he appears to be trending in the right direction and should approach closer to 30 minutes per game in the not too distant future.

Pacers' Larry Nance: Lands five triples in loss
Nance recorded 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-7 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 13 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 loss to the Nuggets.
Nance matched his career-high with five three-pointers, finishing with a season-high 15 points. Although Nance appears to have carved out a spot in the rotation, it does seem as though his days of being a fantasy-relevant asset are now behind him. Through nine games, he has averaged 4.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers in 15.7 minutes per contest, leaving him outside the top 250.

Pacers' Kelly Oubre: Returns from injury in loss
Oubre ended Saturday's 114-102 loss to the Nuggets with two points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound and two blocks across 16 minutes.
Oubre returned after missing the previous two games due to a calf injury. While the fact that he only missed two games is a positive, his on-court production has been the complete opposite. He finished with a season-low two points, continuing what has been an underwhelming start to his career in Indiana. Through eight appearances, he has averaged just 8.5 points and 0.9 three-pointers in 22.3 minutes per game.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Scores game-high 23 in Mexico City Game
Siakam recorded 23 points (10-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 loss to Denver.
Siakam led all players in scoring with an efficient shooting effort from the field, as he was one of four Pacers who finished with 10 or more points. Siakam has tallied 20-plus points in two consecutive outings, but his lack of defensive stats and a season-low two boards will leave fantasy managers wanting more. However, with Indiana's roster banged up, the 32-year-old should continue to operate as the focal point of the offense.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Still without timetable to return
Haliburton (hamstring) is progressing well but does not have a timetable to return, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Haliburton continues to recover from a left hamstring strain he picked up after Indiana's 110-102 loss to Milwaukee on Oct. 26. The Pacers star has missed the last five games, and his timetable to return is "uncertain", per head coach Rick Carlisle. Andrew Nembhard has been solid as the starting point guard with Haliburton sidelined, while Braden Smith and Quenton Jackson have provided extra depth in the backcourt. Indiana will get some reinforcements Saturday, however, as T.J. McConnell (hamstring) is expected to make his season debut in the NBA's Mexico City Game against the Nuggets.

Pacers' Kelly Oubre: Available Saturday
Oubre (calf) will be available for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Oubre's string of absences will end after two games now that he's recovered from a left calf contusion. His return could spell decreased opportunities for Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Will suit up Saturday
McConnell (hamstring) is listed as available for Saturday's game against Denver.
McConnell will make his 2026-27 debut after sitting out with a hamstring strain. He will likely see a limited workload in his first game of the season. However, McConnell's return will presumably result in fewer minutes for Quenton Jackson.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Questionable for Saturday
McConnell (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against Denver.
McConnell has a chance to make his season debut Saturday. The veteran floor general is likely to have a minutes restriction if he's cleared to play, though less playing time would be available to Quenton Jackson.

Pacers' Kelly Oubre: Iffy for Saturday
Oubre (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against Denver.
Oubre is trying to end a two-game absence Saturday due to a calf contusion. Less playing time would be open to Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin if Oubre is able to return.

Pacers' Obi Toppin: Notches 11 points
Toppin supplied 11 points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 107-103 victory over the Grizzlies.
In his return from a three-game absence, Toppin delivered efficient scoring in a reserve role, making half his field-goal attempts and converting all four free throws. However, he committed three turnovers and didn't register a defensive statistic, limiting his overall fantasy contribution. With Pascal Siakam entrenched in the starting lineup and Indiana utilizing several frontcourt options, Toppin remains a situational option in deeper leagues.

Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Held to one point
Zubac produced one point (0-5 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 107-103 win over the Grizzlies.
Zubac endured a miserable offensive showing, missing all five of his field-goal attempts and finishing with a team-worst minus-22 rating. The veteran center also failed to record a steal or block, while Indiana found more success with its reserve frontcourt options. Despite his established rebounding upside, Zubac's limited playing time and lack of production made this a particularly disappointing fantasy outing in his return from injury.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Provides balanced production off bench
Jackson tallied 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 107-103 win over the Grizzlies.
Jackson made a meaningful impact in limited action, connecting on three three-pointers while collecting seven rebounds and two steals. His ability to contribute across multiple categories was encouraging, but his modest playing time remains a limitation for fantasy consistency. He might have some upside in deeper leagues, but he doesn't carry a ton of appeal in standard formats.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Hits clutch three-pointer in victory
Nesmith registered 16 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), a rebound, two assists, three steals and a block across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 107-103 win over the Grizzlies.
Nesmith delivered the decisive three-pointer in the closing seconds, extending Indiana's lead after Memphis had pulled within one point. His four combined defensive stats significantly boosted his fantasy production despite modest rebounding and playmaking totals. Nesmith's established playing time and defensive contributions support his value in category formats, although his scoring consistency remains dependent on perimeter efficiency. He's been trending in the right direction, however, as he has scored in double figures in five of his last six appearances.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Efficient 20-point effort
Siakam posted 20 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 107-103 win over the Grizzlies.
Siakam delivered an efficient offensive performance while adding three combined defensive stats, helping Indiana snap its five-game losing streak. His 30-minute workload was slightly modest for a primary scoring option, but his balanced contributions supported another productive fantasy outing. Siakam remains a dependable source of points and rebounds, with defensive activity providing additional value.
