Andrew Nembhard, Jarace Walker, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Pascal Siakam and Tony Bradley will start against the Raptors on Saturday.

Walker moves into the starting lineup in place of Aaron Nesmith, who Pacers coach Rick Carlisle expects to miss up to four weeks. Walker has struggled as a starter this year, but he should remain in that role for a few weeks.

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said Bennedict Mathurin (toe) is “getting close.”

Mathurin participated in a simulated game Saturday morning. He injured his toe during the second game of the season and hasn’t played since. His return would be a welcome one for the Pacers due to the mountain of injuries that continue to pile up.

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said he expects Aaron Nesmith (knee) to miss four weeks.

That would have Nesmith returning in mid-December. Carlisle did note it’s possible Nesmith returns earlier, but that is the most likely scenario. Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker should see a boost in minutes as long as Nesmith is sidelined.

Cameron Johnson (biceps) has been ruled out against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Johnson exited early from Denver’s last game and will remain sidelined on Saturday. Peyton Watson should slide into the starting lineup in his place, though there should be extra minutes for Bruce Brown as well with Christian Braun (ankle) set to miss at least six weeks.

Nikola Jokić (wrist) is questionable to play against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Jokić has been on an absolute tear recently, having scored 90 points over his last two games. This is an injury to his non-dominant wrist, but if he ends up missing this game, Jonas Valanciunas should start, with Zeke Nnaji filling out the reserve minutes.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Christian Braun (ankle) will be re-evaluated in six weeks.

Braun is dealing with a left ankle sprain. The 24-year-old shooting guard left Wednesday’s game against the Clippers with the injury. With Braun set to miss significant time, Tim Hardaway Jr. could move into the starting lineup and should be rostered in most formats going forward.

Cody Martin (illness) is not on the injury report against the Raptors on Saturday.

Martin missed Thursday’s game, but he’ll be able to suit up against Toronto. Martin has played an inconsistent role for Indiana since signing with them last week, but with Aaron Nesmith (knee) sidelined, Martin could play a significant role, though that likely won’t make him worth rostering.

Tony Bradley started again on Thursday and contributed 10 points (5-of-7 FGs) and three rebounds against the Suns.

This was a second straight start for Bradley, and while he wasn’t great, he was able to score in double figures. It close to a minutes split between Bradley, Isaiah Jackson and Jay Huff, with all three playing between 14 and 17 minutes. All of them will continue to play, but none has separated from the others enough to justify being rostered in standard leagues.

Andrew Nembhard led the Pacers with 21 points (5-of-15 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), two rebounds, nine assists and one three-pointer in a 133-98 loss to the Suns on Thursday.

It wasn’t a great shooting night for Nembhard, but he was at least able to get some offense going, which can’t really be said for the rest of the team. This was an ugly loss for Indiana, but Nembhard has been productive since returning from a hip injury, averaging 20.5 points and 7.5 assists over their last four games. Things may not get better for the Pacers, but Nembhard should continue to be productive.

Aaron Nesmith (knee) will not return to Thursday’s game against the Suns.

The Pacers are calling it left knee soreness, but Nesmith stepped on Jeremiah Robinson-Earl’s foot, which caused his knee to turn awkwardly. It didn’t look great, but we’ll wait for the team to give an official diagnosis instead of speculating on timelines. Ben Sheppard should play more minutes for the remainder of this game and beyond if Nesmith misses more time.

Cody Martin (illness) has been ruled out against the Suns on Thursday.

Martin signed with Indiana last week and has been part of the rotation since, though he has only reached 20 minutes in a game once. His absence could lead to a few extra minutes for Jarace Walker but won’t have a drastic impact on the rotation after he played just five minutes in their last game.

Bennedict Mathurin (toe) will not play on Thursday night against the Suns.

On October 28, the Pacers referred to Mathurin as week-to-week. He still has not returned with what the injury report calls a “right great toe sprain.” We’ve seen Mathurin shooting in pre-game warmups, so it’s possible that he’s getting close to a return, but the Pacers have yet to provide any sort of timeline.

Jamal Murray recorded 15 points (5-of-16 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, four steals and one three-pointer in the win over the Clippers on Wednesday.

Murray didn’t shoot the ball well on Wednesday, but was still one of Denver’s top scorers on the evening. His biggest contributions came on the defensive end, however, where he logged a season-high in steals. Through the first few weeks of the season, the veteran guard has put up similar averages to what he’s produced throughout the last five years. He remains one of the Nuggets’ most reliable players.

Aaron Gordon notched 18 points (6-of-12 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers against the Clippers on Wednesday.

Gordon had an unspectacular, but somewhat productive night against the Clippers on Wednesday. He was one of four Nuggets players to score in double figures, and he finished tied for second in rebounds. Not much was asked of Gordon on a night in which Nikola Jokic scored 55 points and 18-of-23 shooting. Yet, he finished with decent production from a fantasy basketball standpoint, regardless. A more competitive game on Saturday against the Timberwolves could potentially lead to a more productive game from Gordon.

Nikola Jokic added 55 points (18-of-23 FGs, 14-of-16 FTs), 12 rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and five three-pointers on Wednesday against the Clippers.

Jokic wasted no time putting the ball in the basket on Wednesday — he set the tone early with 25 first-quarter points and remained efficient the rest of the way before finishing with his first 50-point game of the season. The former Finals MVP punished the Clippers inside and outside the arc, and got to the foul line frequently, as well. He’s been tremendous after a slower start to the season, and has Denver performing like a legitimate title contender.

Christian Braun (ankle) and Cam Johnson (arm) have been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday’s game against the Clippers.

Johnson and Braun both exited the court with injuries during the first half against the Clippers before being ruled out. They were replaced by Tim Hardaway Jr. and Spencer Jones to begin the second half, who could each see upticks in production should either of Barun or Jonson be forced to miss time.

Jamal Murray (calf) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring) are available for Wednesday’s game against the Clippers.

Murray and Gordon were initially probable for Wednesday’s game, so the status upgrades were expected. The Nuggets will likely stick with their usual starters, but it should be noted that Bruce Brown was on the floor to close out Tuesday’s win over the Kings, replacing Cameron Johnson.

Jamal Murray (calf) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring) are probable for Wednesday’s game against the Clippers.

As was the case ahead of Tuesday’s win over the Kings, Murray and Gordon are considered probable for Wednesday night. That tag suggests both will ultimately be cleared to play. While Murray played 37 minutes on Tuesday, Gordon only played 30. Bruce Brown and Peyton Watson would benefit the most if Murray or Gordon were to be ruled out.

Bruce Brown recorded 14 points (5-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, two steals and two three-pointers in Tuesday’s win over the Kings.

Brown, whose production had been modest in his first nine games, had his best showing of the season on Tuesday. He established a new season-high point total and matched his high in rebounds. However, what was most notable about Tuesday’s result was Brown being part of the closing lineup, with the struggling Cameron Johnson (five points, two rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes) relegated to the bench. While neither player is providing top-200 value in eight-cat formats, Brown’s production has been superior to Johnson’s. That’s something to watch moving forward.

Jamal Murray accounted for 23 points (7-of-15 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, eight assists and four three-pointers in Tuesday’s win over the Kings.

Murray was back in the Nuggets’ lineup after sitting out Saturday’s win over the Pacers with a calf issue, playing 37 minutes. And he was at his best in the fourth quarter, scoring ten of the Nuggets’ 37 points. Thus far, Murray has provided second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (36) by a round in 12-team setups. Wednesday’s game against the Clippers could be an issue for Murray, even if there were no signs of the calf injury giving him any trouble during Tuesday’s victory. Consider him questionable for Wednesday night.

Aaron Gordon amassed 17 points (5-of-11 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in Tuesday’s win over the Kings.

Back in the Nuggets’ lineup after missing Saturday’s win over the Pacers with a hamstring injury, Gordon played 30 minutes on Tuesday without any issues. What may be of interest to fantasy managers is how he’s shot the ball from deep since going 10-of-11 in Denver’s season opener. Gordon has gone 11-of-34 since that night, including 2-of-4 on Tuesday. While the percentage isn’t great, he’s remained confident in the shot, and opposing teams have been forced to respect it more. That’s good news for the Nuggets and those who have Gordon rostered.

Nikola Jokić tallied 35 points (16-of-19 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 15 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Tuesday’s win over the Kings.

Jokić has scored at least 30 points in four of his last five games, a stretch that includes two double-doubles and two triple-doubles. He’s been the best player in fantasy basketball for quite some time and has shown no signs of slowing down. The only concern for fantasy managers during Week 4 may be the schedule. Denver plays twice more, beginning with Wednesday’s game against the Clippers. However, even that may not be an issue, as Jokić can put up numbers in three games that most other players can’t replicate in four.

T.J. McConnell amassed 12 points (6-of-12 FGs), one rebound and one assist in Tuesday’s loss to the Jazz.

Given the amount of time McConnell missed with a strained right hamstring, it’s unsurprising that he was on a minutes restriction Tuesday night. However, he only played 11 minutes and did not see any action after halftime. Those who stashed McConnell in an IL+ slot should remain patient, as his production in the 11 minutes he did play was promising. Given the current state of the Pacers roster, it isn’t difficult to envision McConnell providing quality fantasy value once he’s freed from any restrictions.

Andrew Nembhard finished Tuesday’s loss to the Jazz with 25 points (9-of-15 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists and three three-pointers.

Nembhard has surpassed 20 points in two of the three games he’s played since returning from a shoulder injury, with Tuesday’s total being a season-high. Add in the percentages, assists and three-pointers, and this is the kind of performance that Nembhard managers will hope becomes the norm (or close to it). T.J. McConnell’s return did not affect Nembhard’s minutes, as he only played 11 first-half minutes, and it should not be an issue throughout the season, given Indiana’s lack of consistent options.

Pascal Siakam accumulated 27 points (9-of-16 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, one block and two three-pointers in Tuesday’s loss to the Jazz.

Siakam’s return from a one-game absence did not keep the Pacers from giving up 152 points on Tuesday, but he did provide fantasy managers with another solid stat line. Thus far, Spicy P is ranked outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats, providing greater value in the former. His usage has jumped by more than six percentage points from last season, but the Pacers’ lack of proven scorers has negatively impacted Siakam’s value. On a better version of this team, he would be an enticing “buy low” option. However, with Indiana now 1-10, managers who have Siakam rostered may be concerned about a potential late-season tank.

Jamal Murray (calf) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring) are available for Tuesday’s game against the Kings.

Murray and Gordon were initially probable for Tuesday’s game, so the status upgrades were expected. The Nuggets will stick with their usual starting five, with Christian Braun, Cameron Johnson and Nikola Jokić rounding out the quintet.

Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Tony Bradley will start Tuesday’s game against the Jazz.

Nembhard is the only holdover from the five who started Sunday’s loss to the Warriors. Nesmith and Siakam are back after missing that contest, with Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker moving to the bench. The other two changes are Robinson-Earl and Bradley, who replace Jay Huff and Isaiah Jackson. JRE and Bradley aren’t great streaming options, but the change to start gives them a shot at achieving fantasy relevance.

Taelon Peter (groin) is available for Tuesday’s game against the Jazz.

Peter is good to go after initially being listed as questionable for Tuesday’s game. However, he played only six minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Warriors, and T.J. McConnell is available for the first time this season. Peter is unlikely to get the minutes needed to make an impact in fantasy basketball.

T.J. McConnell (hamstring) is available for Tuesday’s game against the Jazz.

McConnell is set for his first action of the 2025-26 season, providing the Pacers with needed depth at point guard. He’ll back up Andrew Nembhard, but McConnell does not need starters’ minutes to provide tangible fantasy value. He’ll have value once allowed to play his regular minutes.

Pacers signed Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to a 10-day contract on Tuesday.

This will be a second 10-day for JRE, which means they’ll have to sign him to a rest-of-season deal if they want to keep him beyond this contract. He has played big minutes for the Pacers recently, averaging 8.0 points and 10.7 rebounds over 24.8 minutes per game over their last three outings. He’ll likely continue to fill a large role, but he’s only worth a roster spot in deep formats.

Taelon Peter (groin) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Jazz.

Peter was initially questionable for Sunday’s loss to the Warriors, playing six minutes off the bench. Even if he’s available on Tuesday, the rookie guard will be in for a similar workload since Andrew Nembhard is healthy. And if T.J. McConnell (hamstring) plays, Peter may be in for a DNP-CD.

Aaron Nesmith (forearm) is not on the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Jazz.

Nesmith is back after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Warriors. His return means Ben Sheppard will head back to the bench in a move that does not impact fantasy basketball. Even with the Pacers’ many injuries, there’s no need to consider Sheppard in most leagues.

T.J. McConnell (hamstring) questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Jazz.

McConnell has yet to play this season after suffering a hamstring injury in the preseason. The 33-year-old point guard is ramping up in his recovery and his questionable listing at least gives him a chance to return against the Jazz on Tuesday. McConnell will be worth the wait for fantasy managers as he’ll eventually return to a full workload with the Pacers’ many other injuries.

Pascal Siakam (rest) is not on the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Jazz.

Siakam did not play in Sunday’s loss to the Warriors, which was Indiana’s second game in as many nights. His return to the lineup means Jay Huff will be bumped to the bench after recording a double-double the last time out. Huff has offered limited fantasy value this season, so he doesn’t have to be held in most fantasy leagues.

Jamal Murray (calf) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring) are expected to play in Tuesday’s matchup with the Kings, according to Nuggets writer Brendan Vogt.

Murray and Gordon sat out Saturday for the second leg of Denver’s back-to-back set, but both are expected to suit up for Denver’s upcoming matchup with Sacramento. If both are cleared to play, Jalen Pickett and Peyton Watson are expected to shift back to the bench after earning spot starts on Saturday.

Andrew Nembhard finished Sunday’s loss to the Warriors with 14 points (5-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, nine assists, two steals and two three-pointers.

Nembhard finished Sunday’s defeat with a solid assist tally, but the field-goal percentage took a beating in Indiana’s final game of the week. However, the fact that he played 30 minutes or more in both games of the Pacers’ weekend back-to-back is far more critical, given the time he missed with a shoulder injury. Plus, Indiana was without Pascal Siakam and Aaron Nesmith on Sunday, which has to be factored into Nembhard’s poor shooting. He should get better looks when Siakam is on the floor. Indiana plays three games during Week 4, starting with the Jazz on Tuesday.

Jay Huff accounted for 12 points (5-of-11 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Warriors.

According to Cleaning the Glass, Huff has played 21 percent of his minutes this season at power forward, and that was his role on Sunday. He recorded his first double-double of the season, hitting double digits in scoring for the second time and in rebounds for the first. Isaiah Jackson (12/6/1/0/1 in 21 minutes) also recorded a solid stat line, but he and Huff played 21 and 22 minutes, respectively. That’s the issue for both, especially with Pascal Siakam returning after sitting out Sunday’s game for rest reasons. Jackson is the player whom more fantasy managers have invested in, but Huff has provided greater fantasy value.

Andrew Nembhard, Ben Sheppard, Jarace Walker, Jay Huff and Isaiah Jackson will start Sunday’s game against the Warriors.

The Pacers are without Aaron Nesmith and Pascal Siakam for Sunday’s game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Sheppard and Huff will fill the vacancies, raising the ceiling of both players. While worthy of consideration in deep leagues, neither is a must-roster player.

Taelon Peter (groin) is available for Sunday’s game against the Warriors.

Peter is good to go after initially being questionable for Sunday’s game. Due to the Pacers’ lack of options, Peter will play rotation minutes. However, he is not worth rostering in fantasy leagues.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said Sunday that T.J. McConnell (hamstring) is ramping up “pretty steadily.”

Injured during the preseason, McConnell has yet to appear in a game this season. While Carlisle did not provide an updated timeline on the veteran point guard, the fact that T.J. is ramping up is a good sign for the injury-riddled Pacers. He’ll have tangible fantasy value as soon as he’s allowed to take on a full workload, even with Andrew Nembhard being the starter.

Taelon Peter (groin) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Warriors.

While Peter was made available for Saturday’s loss to the Nuggets after initially being questionable, he did not play. With Aaron Nesmith and Pascal Siakam joining the lengthy list of absentees, Peter will likely play rotation minutes if cleared.

Pascal Siakam (rest) is out for Sunday’s game against the Warriors.

Siakam, who has shouldered a heavy workload this season due to the Pacers’ many injuries, will get Sunday night off. This is a brutal hit for fantasy managers who were hoping for a big performance from Spicy P on the final night of Week 3. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl’s playing time will likely increase after he logged 15 minutes on Saturday, but he isn’t the most trustworthy streaming option. If Jarace Walker is on the waiver wire, add him first.

Aaron Nesmith (forearm) is out for Sunday’s game against the Warriors.

Nesmith has a right forearm contusion and will not play on Sunday, the Pacers’ second game in as many nights. Given the number of players who won’t be available, now is the time to go “all-in” on Jarace Walker out of necessity. If you hadn’t already done so.

Nikola Jokić delivered 32 points (10-of-14 FGs, 11-of-12 FTs), 14 rebounds, 14 assists and one steal over 31 minutes, propelling the Nuggets to a 117-100 blowout win over the Pacers.

Jokić picked up the slack for a short-handed Denver lineup with Jalen Pickett and Peyton Watson starting in place of an injured Jamal Murray (calf) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring), recording his third double-double in nine games this season — securing it with more than seven minutes left in the third quarter — as the Nuggets cruised to an easy win, leading by 13 heading into the final frame. The 30-year-old generational talent been the top overall fantasy performer so far, averaging 25 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists, two steals, and one block through nine games. At this point, Jokić averaging a triple-double isn’t news — it’s just gravity doing what gravity does.

Aaron Nesmith poured in a team-high 25 points (7-of-10 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), one rebound and four steals during Saturday’s loss to the Nuggets.

Nesmith benefitted from the return of fellow guard Andrew Nembhard as he shot 70 percent from the floor, knocking down a trio of three-pointers, and getting to the line for eight free throws. The 26-year-old has taken on a much larger role from a scoring standpoint with Tyrese Haliburton out for the season, which gives him some serious appeal in deeper fantasy leagues.

Aaron Nesmith poured in a team-high 25 points (7-of-10 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), one rebound and four steals over 26 minutes during Saturday’s loss to the Nuggets.

Jalen Pickett, Christian Braun, Cam Johnson, Peyton Watson and Nikola Jokic will start against the Pacers on Saturday.

Pickett and Watson join the starting lineup with Jamal Murray (calf) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring) sidelined. Bruce Brown should play a larger role off the bench for Denver with two starters out.

Zeke Nnaji (ankle) is available against the Pacers on Saturday.

Nnaji was initially listed as probable, so his availability isn’t surprising. Nnaji played four minutes in a blowout win on Friday, and while he could play more minutes with Aaron Gordon out, he won’t play enough to provide any real value in the box score.

Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out against the Pacers on Saturday.

AG will be sidelined for the second night of this back-to-back. Peyton Watson should slide into the starting unit for this game, though there could be a few minutes for Zeke Nnaji or Hunter Tyson off the bench.

Jamal Murray (calf) has been ruled out against the Pacers on Saturday.

Murray is out for the second leg of this back-to-back, which should result in Bruce Brown entering the starting lineup. Jalen Pickett should fill out some of the reserve point guard minutes, but Nikola Jokic will continue to be the lead playmaker.

Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

Gordon is managing a left hamstring injury and could miss Saturday’s game against the Pacers. The 30-year-old power forward is off to a hot shooting start this season. Peyton Watson and Zeke Nnaji would be the primary candidates to see extra minutes in Gordon’s absence.

Jamal Murray (calf) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

Murray is dealing with left calf tightness, but hasn’t missed a game yet this season. If he’s out, Bruce Brown is next in line to pick up the slack as the backup point guard and would see a boost to his fantasy value.

Nikola Jokić finished Friday’s win over the Warriors with 26 points (12-of-15 FGs), nine rebounds, nine assists, one block and two three-pointers.

Jokić needed only 29 minutes of game action to nearly tally a second straight double-double. He fell one rebound and one assist short of the feat, but utilized extremely efficient shooting to land his sixth straight game with at least 20 points. The Warriors, without Stephen Curry and Al Horford available for this game, struggled to keep pace with the high-powered Nuggets’ offense, which featured six different players scoring in double figures, with Jokić leading the way. After a slower start to the season, he appears back in his MVP-like form.

Jamal Murray amassed 23 points (8-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, eight assists, two steals, one block and five three-pointers in Friday’s victory over the Warriors.

Murray did a little bit of everything for the Nuggets in their win on Friday. He made an impact offensively as both a facilitator and scorer, with his production from beyond the arc being key to his point total. But even on the defensive end, the veteran guard showed up and collected three steals. Again, he impressed on both ends of the floor and remains a key piece to Denver’s success on a nightly basis.

Jonas Valančiūnas notched 16 points (6-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers in the win over the Warriors on Friday.

Valančiūnas logged his most productive line as a member of the Nuggets on Friday. He scored a season high in points and hit his first couple of threes of the season during his 16 minutes of game action. The veteran center has served as a nice depth piece for Denver in his first season with the team. He likely won’t move the needle in fantasy basketball leagues, but could continue to play an important role for the Nuggets throughout the season.

Zeke Nnaji (ankle) is available for Friday’s game against the Warriors.

Nnaji is officially available after being listed as probable on the Nuggets’ initial injury report. However, this does not mean he’ll play rotation minutes. Fantasy managers can leave him on the waiver wire.

Zeke Nnaji (ankle) is probable to play against the Warriors on Friday.

Nnaji should be available, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to play. He hasn’t seen the floor during Denver’s last three games and has yet ot play 10 minutes in a game this season.

Aaron Gordon had 24 points (9-of-16 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer against the Heat on Wednesday.

Gordon dropped 50 points in the Nuggets’ season-opening overtime loss to the Warriors. The 30-year-old power forward failed to record even 20 points in the next four games, but has now bounced back with at least 20 points in the last two games. Gordon’s shooting seems to be improved this season and the Nuggets are in no position to curb his usage on offense this year.

Nikola Jokić had 33 points (12-of-18 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), 15 rebounds, 16 assists, three steals and two three-pointers in the Nuggets’ 122-112 victory over the Heat on Wednesday.

Jokić is back with a triple-double after two games where he failed to record a triple-double. Those two games of course came after the 30-year-old center began the season with a streak of four consecutive games with a triple-double. Jokić is the top player in fantasy until someone takes the crown from him, though Victor Wembanyama and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are worthy adversaries.

A late addition to the Nuggets’ injury report, Strawther is available to contribute off the bench. However, he’s averaged fewer than six minutes per game this season, so his availability will not impact fantasy basketball.
