After scoring a career-high 23 points in Friday’s loss, Etienne was able to stay hot in this game with the second 20-point game of his career. He’s still on a two-way contract, but he closed this season out on a high note and could end up signing a new contract with the Nets this offseason.

Before fouling out, Saraf tallied a solid stat line in 26 minutes. This was his fourth straight start, and he has averaged 17.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game during this stretch. Saraf was the 26th pick in the draft last summer and showed some flashes during his first year in the league. He likely won’t be ready to make significant contributions during his second season, but he’s worth stashing in dynasty formats.

Jackson finished the season strong with 12.7 points per game and 5.3 assists per game in seven games in April. While the 27-year-old guard certainly showed some promise, it still remains to be seen if he’ll factor into the Pacers’ rotation next year when the team is healthy.

Walker started and had 17 points against the 76ers on Friday, but is set to miss Sunday’s game against the Pistons with a left foot sprain. The 22-year-old small forward had a promising season, but it remains to be seen if he can crack the Pacers’ rotation when the team is fully healthy.

The expectations for Huff were high entering this season due to the lack of other center options for the Pacers. While he has had the best season of his career, most of his value has been tied to his shot blocking, which has certainly been impressive. He matched his season high for swats in this one, but he also made a contribution on the glass. This was just the third time this season that Huff finished with double-digit rebounds. This was a fun season, but he will likely return to being a depth big behind Ivica Zubac next season.

Potter has started three of the Pacers’ last four games, and in each of those starts, he recorded a double-double. Potter signed a two-year deal with Indiana in December to help fill out some of the minutes at center. He’ll continue to play a significant role for them in their final game of the season on Sunday against the Pistons. However, it is unlikely he plays a significant role next season when the team is fully healthy.

Walker led Indiana in scoring in this game, but it wasn’t enough for them to get a second straight win. Walker has had a strong third season in the league and has taken advantage of the extra opportunity, but he hasn’t been able to shoot efficiently or contribute much defensively. Walker has shown some flashes, but it is difficult to project him playing a significant role when Indiana is healthy next season.

Saraf has reached double figures in scoring in three consecutive games, one shy of his season-best run. The Nets’ rookie recorded a complete stat line against the Bucks and played 41 minutes. Nolan Traoré (14 points, four rebounds, three steals, one block and one three-pointer) has served as the backup, with Nets decision-makers and the coaching staff taking a longer look at Saraf. That should remain the rotation for Sunday’s season finale against the Raptors.

Smith notched two career milestones on Friday, finishing the loss with a career-high point total and his first double-double. He finished two rebounds shy of a triple-double and played 43 of a possible 48 minutes.

Not only did Etienne finish Friday’s loss with a career-high point total, but this was his first 20-point game as a pro. The Nets’ guard has reached double figures in consecutive games four times in his two-year NBA career, with three of those streaks occurring this season. Etienne should continue to play rotation minutes in Sunday’s season finale against the Raptors, as the Nets are shorthanded on the perimeter.

Etienne struggled from the field on Thursday in his 39 minutes on the floor. He was particularly cold inside the arc, with his efficient three-point shooting being the positive on the evening. Etienne did, however, make contributions on the glass and as a facilitator to help make up for the inefficient scoring. He’ll have a chance to bounce back on Friday against the Bucks.

Despite shooting poorly from the three-point line, Saraf still managed to find production against the Pacers. He finished with a handful of boards and tied a team-high in assists, showing off some versatility in his game. Saraf has put together a solid few weeks toward the end of his rookie season that could be a confidence booster heading into the offseason and ultimately his second season. He’s got two games left to close strong.

Liddell was one of Brooklyn’s bright spots on Thursday. Despite the loss, he drained a few triples en route to his second 20-point performance of the season. His work on the glass led to a team-high in boards, as well, in his 37 minutes on the floor. Liddell has put together three straight double-digit scoring performances after doing so just once in the games prior. He’s trending in the right direction as the season nears its conclusion.

Walker was impactful across the board on Thursday — he produced as a scorer, attacked the glass, facilitated, and was disruptive on the defensive end throughout the game. As a result, the third-year forward came close to securing a double-double. Walker has now scored in double figures while securing at least six rebounds and four assists in three of the last four games. He’s contributing in all areas down the stretch of the season and will look to have another productive game on Friday against the Sixers.

Potter performed well in his 23 minutes on Thursday. He was aggressive as a shot-taker, an approach that led him to finish as the team’s second-highest scorer on the evening. However, his domination on the glass was perhaps the most impressive part of the outing; Potter’s 14 boards led all players and marked a new season high. The fifth-year center has played the best basketball of his NBA career this season; he’ll have a chance to finish strong with two games remaining.

Toppin used his 19 minutes of game action well on Thursday, missing just three shots en route to finishing as the only Pacers player with 20 or more points. The sixth-year forward also excelled on the glass and came up just one rebound shy of earning a double-double. He was one of several Indiana players to leave their mark on a game that the Pacers were comfortably in control of from start to finish.

Walker was in the Pacers’ lineup on Tuesday after missing four games with a back injury, and he logged 28 minutes. The five turnovers weren’t good, but the rebounds, assists and steals helped offset them. How Walker goes about finishing this season will be critical regarding his outlook for next season. With the Pacers getting Tyrese Haliburton back and likely adding a lottery pick, the rotation will be far more crowded than it currently is. Walker’s finish may go a long way toward him carving out a role for himself when the Pacers return to full strength.
