Kennard has been downgraded from questionable to out, leaving the Hawks without two rotation guards. The absence of Kennard and Trae Young means more minutes will be required of reserves Keaton Wallace and Vit Krejćí. Neither player is likely to put up the numbers to merit streaming, but the opportunities will be there.

Kennard is a late addition to the injury report, and if he’s unavailable to take the court, Keaton Wallace could be in line for more minutes. Nickeil Alexander-Walker could get a slight bump, but he’s already locked into starter’s minutes with Trae Young sidelined.

Indiana has dealt with a ton of injuries in the backcourt this season, which led to them signing McClung in the first place. However, they’ll pivot to a veteran guard who they nearly signed in September. Morris will likely have a role, but he isn’t a player that will contribute consistently for fantasy managers.

Due to their many injuries, the Pacers signed Robinson-Earl to a 10-day contract over the weekend. Wednesday’s game was the first in which he truly stood out, grabbing 15 rebounds. There’s no need to consider adding Robinson-Earl based on one performance, but he’s looking to earn himself an opportunity, whether it’s with the Pacers or another team.

Due to the Pacers’ lack of healthy point guards, Siakam has been asked to take on more playmaking responsibilities this season. Of the eight games he’s played, Spicy P has recorded at least six assists in four, including a season-high nine on Wednesday. The negative was that he committed seven turnovers against the Nets, more than doubling his previous high (three). High-turnover nights of this caliber have been few and far between for Siakam, so there isn’t much to worry about. The only concern is that there may come a point later in the season when the Pacers’ draft lottery odds become a priority, but we aren’t there yet.

Sheppard, who started three games earlier this season, was back in the lineup on Wednesday due to Quenton Jackson (hamstring) being out. The third-year guard had his best game of the season, recording a complete stat line that included 18 points and three three-pointers. Rostered in three percent of Yahoo! leagues, Sheppard still isn’t in a place where he has to be on deep-league rosters. But the circumstances make him a player to watch, especially with the Pacers hitting the road for a four-game trip.

Quenton Jackson (hamstring) is out indefinitely after injuring his hamstring during Monday’s loss to the Bucks. Sheppard will make his fourth start of the season, and while he hasn’t been the most productive option, there won’t be a shortage of opportunities due to the Pacers’ many injuries. Look for Siakam to have the ball in his hands quite often as a facilitator for others, while also getting his own looks.

Dennis is officially available after being listed as probable on the initial injury report. With Quenton Jackson (hamstring) unavailable, Dennis will play rotation minutes. He isn’t a must-stream player on an 11-game night, but he’s worth watching for future games.

After hosting the Nets on Wednesday, the Pacers will hit the road for four games, starting Saturday in Denver. Furphy, who injured his left ankle during Monday’s loss to the Bucks, will not play, and there’s a chance he misses time beyond the road trip. To help account for their team’s many injuries, the Pacers received a hardship waiver to sign Cody Martin to a 10-day contract. He’s unlikely to impact fantasy basketball, but rotation minutes should be available.

Jackson injured his hamstring during Monday’s loss to the Bucks and was already ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Nets. Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said during his pregame availability that Jackson will also miss the team’s upcoming four-game road trip, and possibly even more time after that. Due to the Pacers’ many injuries on the perimeter, Aaron Nesmith and Jarace Walker are the players who should be targeted on waiver wires.

Indiana has been decimated by injuries this season, and Martin will help provide some depth, though it may just be temporary. The Pacers signed Martin with a hardship exception due to just how many injuries they’re dealing with. Martin could be part of the rotation, but it’s unclear how many minutes he’ll get, so he isn’t worth rostering at this time.

Risacher got off to a sizzling-hot start with 11 points in the opening four minutes of this one, finishing the first half with a game-high 16 points. He knocked down six of 10 from the floor during that span, including a pair of three pointers to propel the Hawks to a 17-point halftime lead. The 20-year-old former lottery pick will continue shouldering a larger role for Atlanta with offensive catalyst Trae Young facing a four-week absence with an MCL sprain in his right knee. He hasn’t been consistent enough to merit a roster spot in shallow fantasy leagues, but he’s shown some flashes of big-time scoring upside. His time is coming.

Daniels delivered a stat sheet-stuffing performance, serving as one of Atlanta’s primary playmakers in an impressive win over Orlando, dishing out six assists and shooting an extremely efficient 89 percent from the floor. The 22-year-old X-factor has picked things up from an offensive standpoint since Trae Young went out last week with an MCL sprain in his right knee. He’ll attempt to keep things going on Friday when the Hawks face the Raptors in another home matchup.

Dennis played eight minutes off the bench in Monday’s loss to the Bucks. If he can take on a heavier workload, the playing time will be available, as the Pacers won’t have Quenton Jackson (hamstring) available. However, Dennis isn’t a must-stream player.

Add another guard to the Pacers’ lengthy injury report. Jackson strained his right hamstring during Monday’s loss to the Bucks, and fantasy managers should plan for a multi-game absence. Ben Sheppard is the most likely option to start, meaning Pascal Siakam will have more time on the ball. RayJ Dennis (back) is probable for Wednesday, so he and Taelon Peter are in line to provide additional depth at point guard.

The injuries just keep piling up for Indiana. Jackson was questionable to return but didn’t end up checking back into the game. If he remains out against the Nets on Wednesday, there will be an open spot in the starting lineup. Ben Sheppard, RayJ Dennis and Taelon Peter are all candidates to fill the role and take on more minutes.

Walker has been in the starting lineup for the shorthanded Pacers, but he has struggled to get shots to fall. However, he had one of his best offensive performances of the season in this one. He matched his season-high for assists and had one of his more efficient shooting nights of the year. Walker is currently rostered in just 16 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but his spot in the starting unit should be safe.

Jackson had plenty of hype during the preseason due to the lack of other center options in Indiana. He has started all but one game, but he was largely unproductive to start the year. However, over the last three games, he’s averaging 13.3 points and 9.7 rebounds, and this was his first double-double of the year. Jackson is currently rostered in just eight percent of Yahoo! leagues and still has three more games left this week.

Siakam has been on fire to start this season, and that continued against Milwaukee. This was his third 30-point performance this year, and he still was able to tie his season-high for assists. Siakam has been a constant source of production for the shorthanded Pacers this year, which should continue on. His shooting percentages have been poor, but he’s currently averaging a career-high in points and steals.

Furphy, who missed four games earlier this season with a bone bruise in his left foot, sprained his left ankle during Monday’s game. He’s doubtful to return, and it’s fair to question Furphy’s availability for Wednesday’s game against the Nets. Under normal circumstances, Furphy’s availability would not significantly impact fantasy basketball. However, given the Pacers’ many injuries, they can’t afford to incur any more personnel losses.

As expected, Dennis will be available to suit up after Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said that he was expecting him to be available. Dennis will fill out the reserve point guard minutes behind Quenton Jackson, which won’t be enough time for him to provide any meaningful impact in the box score.

Like Jalen Johnson, Daniels’ fantasy value has improved since the Hawks lost Trae Young to a sprained right MCL. In the two games the Hawks’ point guard has missed, Daniels has totaled 36 points, 13 rebounds, nine assists, seven steals and one blocked shot while shooting 16-of-25 from the field. Of course, no team wants to lose its best player. However, Young’s absence may be the catalyst that Daniels needed after getting off to a slow start this season.

Porziņģis had a relatively quiet night scoring-wise, but he grabbed double-digit rebounds for the first time this season. And with Trae Young (knee) out, KP will likely have to do more as a rebounder and defender to keep his fantasy value up. In the two games Young has missed, Porziņģis has scored 15 points in both, three less than his season average (18.2). He still provides 6th-round value, but the ceiling lowered when the Hawks lost their starting point guard. Atlanta plays three games during Week 3, starting with the Magic on Tuesday.

In the two games the Hawks have played without Trae Young (knee), Johnson has recorded at least 22 points, 13 rebounds and five assists in each. Excellent last season before suffering a season-ending injury in late January, he’s picked up where he left off, providing third-round value in eight-cat formats. Young will be out for at least four weeks, and the timeline for a sprained MCL can be closer to 6-to-8 weeks. Johnson may not be the point guard, but he’ll have the ball in his hands more, raising his already-high fantasy ceiling.

Furphy returned to action Saturday after a four-game absence, playing 23 minutes off the bench in a win over the Warriors. He’ll likely take on a similar workload against the Bucks, but that isn’t enough to make Furphy a streamable player, even with the Pacers’ many injuries.

Wallace, who was initially questionable for Sunday’s game, will not be available. That leaves the Hawks light on options at point guard, with starter Trae Young (knee) out for at least four weeks.

Wallace played 17 minutes off the bench against the Pacers on Friday with Trae Young (knee) sidelined. Young is set to miss at least a month, so Wallace’s role will be secure when he’s available.

Siakam’s ranked outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats, with low percentages being the culprit. Given his career production, one would assume that Spicy P will close in on his Yahoo! ADP (30) as the season progresses. He’s being asked to shoulder a heavy workload, but that will change somewhat once the Pacers get some of their injured rotation players back on the floor. Now would be a good time to see if you can “buy low” on Siakam, especially with the Pacers playing four games in Week 3.

Not only did Nesmith notch a career-high point total, but this was also his third 30-point game. Given how poorly he’s shot the ball to begin the season, Nesmith getting untracked on Saturday was critical for the shorthanded Pacers. Shooting 34.6 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from the foul line, he’s ranked outside the top-200 in nine-cat formats. However, due to Indiana’s lack of available options, Nesmith needs to be rostered in deep leagues, even if that comes with the risk of him recording low percentages. The Pacers play four games during Week 3, starting with the Bucks on Monday.

Due to the Pacers’ many injuries, players who would have been an afterthought receive legitimate opportunities to contribute. Jackson is one of them, with Saturday’s start being his second in as many nights. And he put on a show, recording his first double-double and notching a career-high point total. Jackson’s biggest shot was his last, as his bank shot with 5.2 seconds remaining extended Indiana’s lead to five. The Pacers play four games during Week 3, and Jackson is worth adding in deep leagues due to the injuries.

Another injury is the last thing the Pacers needed. Walker exited Saturday’s game with a sore left foot and is questionable to return.

Young injured his right knee during Wednesday’s win over the Nets, as a teammate fell into the side of his right leg after being pushed by a Nets player.

The Hawks are without Trae Young (knee) for the foreseeable future, and Alexander-Walker replaced him in the starting lineup on Friday.
