Mathurin has a sprained left wrist and it’s unclear how much time he’ll miss. He’s struggled to score since returning to the bench. Ben Sheppard is one of the wings that could be asked to step up on Friday.

Bane led Memphis in minutes (43) on Tuesday, but he’s in danger of sitting out Friday against New York. If Bane is sidelined, Vince Williams Jr. and Luke Kennard could see more playing time.

McConnell has missed Indiana’s last two games and is in danger of missing a third. Tyrese Haliburton and Andrew Nembhard will continue to split the point guard minutes if McConnell remains out, while Bennedict Mathurin and Ben Sheppard will take on extra minutes off the bench.

While Siakam has corralled at least eight rebounds in three straight games, the decreased scoring output has negatively impacted his fantasy value. Spicy P has scored 19 points or less in five consecutive games. Add in the limited defensive production, and Siakam is ranked outside the top 250 in nine-cat formats during this stretch. With the Pacers forward being a top-50 player for the season, this may be a good time to buy low on him, especially with Indiana having an advantageous fantasy playoff schedule (four games each in weeks 20-22).

Turner was scalding hot from deep Wednesday night, making all five attempts. Also, he recorded his second double-double in the last 10 outings. The rebounding tally is encouraging, as Turner’s average of 6.6 per game is the lowest since the 2020-21 campaign (6.5). However, while that was a season in which he led the NBA in blocks (3.4 per game), the production in that category hasn’t been as robust this season.

Haliburton put on a show Wednesday night, shooting 80 percent from the field and recording his third consecutive points/assists double-double. Also, this was his fifth 30-point double-double and first since January 2 against the Heat. Over the past three weeks, Haliburton is ranked second in eight-cat formats, per Basketball Monster. After an uneven start to the season, the Pacers point guard appears to be rounding into form as the fantasy playoff weeks approach. That’s excellent news for those who have Haliburton rostered.

Haliburton is officially available for Wednesday’s game after being upgraded to probable earlier in the day. He’ll take on his usual role as the starting point guard. And with T.J. McConnell (ankle) out, Haliburton may once again approach 40 minutes.

McConnell will miss a second straight game with a sprained right ankle. With Tyrese Haliburton expected to be available, the Pacers’ starting point guard will likely log more minutes, with the team going to a nine-man rotation. Haliburton played 40 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Nuggets.

Jackson Jr. was incredibly efficient on the offensive end in this one. He had 28 points on 11-of-13 shooting from the field including a 3-of-3 performance from behind the three-point line. The 25-year-old power forward also contributed on defense with a steal and two blocks. Jackson Jr. was perhaps due for a game like this as he hadn’t had more than 22 points in any of his last six games entering play Tuesday.

Bane played a team-high 43 minutes in the overtime win over the Suns Tuesday. The 26-year-old shooting guard bounced back in a big way after a 2-of-13 performance against the Cavaliers on Sunday. Bane had at least seven assists for the third time in his last four games. He’s provided top-20 fantasy vale over the last two months after a slow start to the season.

Morant came up huge as he drove the lane, hung in the air and drained a shot to tie the game with the clock winding down at the end of regulation. In total, it was a 7-of-25 performance from the field for the 25-year-old point guard, but Morant came through at the foul line sinking all 14 of his free throw attempts. He’s only had at least 10 assists twice in February and is yet to have a 30-point game this month as the Grizzlies seem to get even contributions from their key players, making it difficult for Morant to have massive games with regularity.
