Sharpe is expected to be back after a one-game absence. Noah Clowney, who has been starting for Brooklyn, saw a bump in minutes and filled the backup center role when Nic Claxton was on the bench. Clowney should still play a large role, but he’ll lose a few minutes with Sharpe expected back.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Claxton did everything in his power to keep Brooklyn in this one, but it simply wasn’t enough as he reached the 20-point plateau for the first time this season. The 26-year-old big man has been on a roll lately, delivering second-round value for fantasy managers over the past two weeks, averaging 17 points, eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over his last seven contests. The Nets will attempt to get back on track when they face the Magic on Friday night in a road matchup.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Powell may not have moved into the starting lineup in the aftermath of Cam Thomas’ hamstring injury, but the rookie has received more playing time to show what he can do. After logging 27 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Pistons, Powell played 23 on Sunday and produced his best offensive showing of the season. Powell, who entered Sunday 0-of-3 from deep, made all three of his attempts against the Knicks. He isn’t a player who should be rostered in fantasy leagues right now. Still, Powell’s name should be filed away in preparation for the “silly season,” especially with the Nets prioritizing getting a good draft pick next spring.

In the two-plus games the Nets have played since losing Cam Thomas to a hamstring injury on November 5, Porter has tallied 32, 28 and 25 points. And while the shot attempts have increased, MPJ has shot 47 percent or better in each of those outings. Whether he can continue to shoot at the clip or not, Porter is in a spot where he can put up massive individual numbers. The lone concern would be Porter losing out on minutes so the youngsters can get additional run, but that should not be an issue in early November. The Nets play three games during Week 4.

Sharpe was on a roll Sunday night, making all three of his field-goal attempts and going 4-of-4 from the foul line. Unfortunately, tightness in his left hamstring ended the Nets’ center’s night with 1:49 remaining in the third quarter. Brooklyn opens a three-game Week 4 at home against the Raptors on Tuesday, and Sharpe’s injury could mean rotation minutes for Danny Wolf if he misses time. Wolf, one of Brooklyn’s five first-round picks in June, was on assignment with the team’s G League affiliate on Sunday.

Siakam, who has shouldered a heavy workload this season due to the Pacers’ many injuries, will get Sunday night off.

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.

Nembhard made an immediate impact in his return to Indiana’s lineup following a seven-game absence due to a shoulder injury, despite shooting just 2-of-10 from three-point range. The 25-year-old’s presence pushed Ben Sheppard back to the bench as he logged just 22 minutes in this one after averaging nearly 30 per-game during his absence. It may take him a couple games to shake off the rust, but his return gives Indiana a much-needed play-making presence to run their offense through.

It was a forgettable performance for Siakam in this one as he shot just 31 percent from the floor to finish with a season-low 14 points. It came as a bit of a surprise since Andrew Nembhard was back in the lineup for the first time since opening night. He had eclipsed 27 points in five of nine games to open the season and is averaging 24 points, eight rebounds and six assists during that span. He’ll attempt to turn things around when Indiana faces the Warriors on Sunday.

Claxton was one of three Nets players to reach double figures in scoring on a night in which the team shot just 42.5 percent from the field. Additionally, he led Brooklyn in rebounding and finished as the only player on the team to record at least one blocked shot and one steal. While his rebounding numbers are slightly down, the seventh-year center is posting career-highs in points and assists per game. His spot in the rotation likely won’t be threatened with the Nets’ current roster construction, leaving him as a potential double-double threat on a nightly basis.

Clowney set a new season-high in points for the third consecutive game on Friday, once again using the three-point shot to do so. A huge 13-point opening quarter set Clowney up for the high-scoring performance, but his six points on 1-of-6 shooting the rest of the way stopped the young forward from seeing an even greater scoring total. Still, he was productive against the Pistons and continues to perform well for the Nets this season.

Porter Jr. was the most productive offensive performer for the Nets on Friday. He was the only one to score at least 20 points, and his high production from beyond the arc nearly carried him to hit the 30-point mark. The former NBA champion has scored 60 combined points over the past two games while sinking nine three-pointers. Given the status of the Nets roster, MPJ should remain a high-volume scorer with upside as a rebounder throughout the season.
