Nembhard will be the only usual starter for Indiana as Tyrese Haliburton, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner are all sidelined for this game. The four new starters should all be worth streaming on Monday, though it is unlikely that this is a long-term absence for any of the typical starters that are sidelined.

The Pacers will be without four starters for Monday’s game, including Haliburton and Nesmith. With Andrew Nembhard being the lone available starter, he’s worth adding wherever he’s available, and T.J. McConnell will also have added fantasy value. As for Nesmith’s absence, Bennedict Mathurin will return to the starting lineup, raising Benn’s fantasy ceiling.

White is on a roll this month and can keep up his hot streak against Utah. He’s averaging 28.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in March. Josh Giddey’s portended absence should continue to make White the focal point of the Bulls offense.

Nesmith’s availability is more impactful, as he has been a fixture in the Pacers’ starting lineup.

Haliburton is a little banged up after recording his third-straight double-double against the Bucks. He missed some time prior to this past week with a hip injury, and this back listing is new.

Haliburton has hit double digits in assists in his last nine appearances, which is why he has ranked among the best players in fantasy basketball since the All-Star break. According to Basketball Monster, he’s ranked second in eight-cat formats since the break, trailing only Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. And for managers whose fantasy playoffs begin with Week 20, the Pacers play four games each of the following three weeks. This is a great time to have Haliburton on your roster.

Siakam recorded another 20-point stat line on Saturday, making it five in his last six outings. While his fantasy value since the All-Star break hasn’t been great, Spicy P has been a top 40 player in eight- and nine-cat formats during this six-game run. Siakam will look to continue this run on Monday when the Pacers visit the Timberwolves. Indiana will play four games during Week 20.

Nesmith went off Saturday night, recording his first 30-point game of the season. He shot 6-of-7 from beyond the arc while also providing solid value in the rebound and steals categories. Since the All-Star break, Nesmith has provided top 75 value in nine-cat formats. Rostered in 23 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s worth a roll of the dice in deep leagues since the Pacers play four games during Week 20.

Vucevic has scored 15 points or less in his three games since returning from a strained calf. While the offensive output has been limited, that hasn’t prevented him from providing value in other ways. Vooch supplemented his point total with seven rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers. Vucevic has been ranked outside the top 150 since returning to the Bulls’ lineup, but the most essential thing for fantasy managers is that he’s available.

Jones has started Chicago’s last six games, filling the void left by the injured Lonzo Ball (wrist). And he’s been solid, providing seventh-round value in nine-cat formats. Based on Bulls coach Billy Donovan’s comments before Saturday’s game, Ball doesn’t sound close to a return. With the Bulls playing four games during Week 20, rostering Jones in deep leagues would be a good idea, given his recent play.

Since the All-Star break, the Bulls guard has been a third-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats.

The Bulls play four games during Week 20, starting with the Jazz on Monday.

Haliburton has hit double figures in assists in eight straight outings, last failing to do so on February 20. The Pacers point guard didn’t have the best night shooting the basketball, but fantasy managers can benefit from the rebounds and assists.

Turner extended two streaks on Friday, making it seven straight games with at least one blocked shot and 12 straight scoring in double figures.

After shooting 1-of-3 from the field in the first quarter, Siakam got going and finished Friday’s victory with his highest point total in four games. The Pacers forward also recorded a complete stat line and has scored 23 points or more in four of his last five outings. Over the past week, Siakam has been a fifth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats, aligning with his season-long value in the latter. The Pacers end Week 19 with a pivotal game in Milwaukee on Saturday.

Siakam was initially listed as questionable with an elbow injury, but the 30-year-old power forward hasn’t missed a game all season and that won’t change Friday.

However, fantasy managers should not overlook Toppin, even if he remains in a reserve role.

This was Chicago’s first game without Josh Giddey (ankle), and it’s unclear exactly how many more games he’ll miss. It will likely be a multi-game absence, which provides Huerter with some value as a streaming option. This was his second start as a Bull, and he is now averaging 20.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 4.5 three-pointers as a starter for Chicago. Huerter is rostered in just 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues. Chicago only has one more game left this week, but they have a four-game week after that.

Those averages have him providing third-round value during this stretch.

Phillips hasn’t contributed much since being drafted with the No. 35 pick in 2023, but everything came together on Thursday. He played a career-high 34 minutes and set new career-highs for points, rebounds and assists.

The production will be inconsistent, but he should have a consistent role moving forward.

Siakam got going early in this game and did a lot of work early on. He entered halftime with a double-double, and while he didn’t add much after the break, it was still an excellent night for him. Siakam struggled in Indiana’s blowout loss to Chicago, so it was encouraging to see him get back on track in this one and record just his second double-double since the All-Star break. Tyrese Haliburton’s return made life easier for Siakam, and he’ll look to continue filling up the stat sheet during their back-to-back set on Friday and Saturday.

Mathurin returned to playing his typical role off the bench after starting in Monday’s loss to Chicago, but he was still able to contribute plenty of offense as a reserve. 11 of his 17 points came in the first half, but he wasn’t able to add many points during his nine minutes in the second half. Mathurin is an excellent scoring option for Indiana, but he is a difficult player to trust in fantasy basketball when he isn’t starting. Still, he is more than capable of getting hot and having a big night at any time.

After missing Indiana’s last three games, Haliburton (hip) was back in the lineup on Tuesday. He had been the best player in fantasy basketball since the All-Star break, but he wasn’t able to maintain that elite production in this game. Indiana lost all three games without Haliburton, but he was able to get them back in the win column in his return. He completed a four-point play by knocking down a ridiculous shot from the corner while being fouled by Giannis Antetokounmpo. Fantasy managers may have been happy to have him back, but not as happy as Pacers fans were.

Both point guards were initially listed as questionable, but Indiana will have both available against their division rival. Haliburton is back after a three-game absence, which will likely push Bennedict Mathurin back to the bench and take away some of Andrew Nembhard’s playmaking upside.

Monday’s game was Williams’s first since February 12, and he was restricted to 24 minutes. Unfortunately for those who have him rostered, he finished nowhere near that number.

There’s a reason why Williams is only rostered in four percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Appearing in his first game since February 22, Vucevic was used in a reserve role for just the second time in his Bulls career. That didn’t prevent him from recording his 195th double-double as a Bull, moving into third on the franchise’s all-time list behind Artis Gilmore and Scottie Pippen. Zach Collins retained his spot in the starting lineup and played 23 minutes, finishing with seven points, nine rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer. When Vooch returns to the starting lineup remains to be seen. But this may be where he stays in that role until he’s freed from any restrictions.

Seemingly on his way to the best scoring effort of his NBA career, Giddey’s night ended disappointingly during the fourth quarter. He injured his right ankle after landing on the foot of a Pacers defender and did not return from the locker room. What’s concerning is that this is the same ankle Giddey injured during Australia’s final game during the Paris Olympics, which limited him during the preseason. If he has to miss time, Kevin Huerter (13/4/1/3/1 with three three-pointers in 34 minutes) will have added importance, possibly as Giddey’s replacement in the starting lineup.

The tandem of White and Josh Giddey was outstanding on Monday, as they combined to score 58 points. Over the past month, Coby has provided fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. That production is two rounds better than what he’s done this season, and the Bulls may need a little more from White in the short term. Giddey injured his right ankle during the fourth quarter, and the Bulls have also been without Lonzo Ball and Ayo Dosunmu. With Dosunmu out for the season and Ball not having a timeline for return, look for White’s usage to increase if Giddey misses time.

Playing without Tyrese Haliburton for a third straight game, the Pacers starters did not have it in Chicago. Siakam shot 50 percent from the field, but the overall stat line did not provide much value beyond the points and assists. And with the Bulls taking control of the game during the second quarter, Spicy P only played 24 minutes before Rick Carlisle went to his bench for good. Siakam and the Pacers will look to rebound on Tuesday when they face the Bucks.

The Bulls outscored the Pacers by a 40-21 margin during the second quarter on Monday. And with things not getting much better for the starters during the third, Pacers coach Rick Carlisle decided to roll with his seldom-used reserves in the fourth. Turner’s playing time took a hit, and he offered limited fantasy value. The only positive for fantasy managers is that he should be well-rested or Tuesday’s game against the Bucks.

With Tyrese Haliburton sidelined for a third straight game, it was Mathurin’s turn to fill the void on Monday. Unfortunately for fantasy managers hoping to benefit from this matchup, he provided minimal value in 23 minutes on the court. And with Tuesday’s game against the Bucks being far more critical from a playoff positioning standpoint, Mathurin and the other starters spent most of the second half on the bench. Johnny Furphy was one of the beneficiaries, as he accounted for four points, eight rebounds and three steals in 18 minutes off the bench. If Haliburton can play against Milwaukee, Mathurin will head to the bench, and Furphy may fall out of the rotation entirely.
