The Pacers are without Ben Sheppard and Pascal Siakam, which opened up spots in the starting lineup for Thompson and Slawson. The other change is Potter, whose insertion into the lineup means that Jay Huff will come off the bench.

Toppin was initially listed as probable on the injury report, so his availability isn’t a surprise. The 28-year-old power forward had 11 points in 20 minutes off the bench in Friday’s loss to the Hornets and should see a similar workload on Sunday.

Sunday’s game will be the fourth that Walker has missed due to a back injury. His continued absence means extended minutes for Kobe Brown, especially with Pascal Siakam also out. Ethan Thompson may also pick up additional playing time, but Brown is the safer streaming option.

While Walker has missed Indiana’s last three games, Sheppard was injured during Friday’s loss to the Hornets. The former, if available, offers a much higher fantasy ceiling, especially with Pascal Siakam ruled out. Kobe Brown and Ethan Thompson should play plenty, especially if Walker remains out.

Siakam suffered back and ankle injuries during Friday’s loss to the Hornets, but it’s the latter that will keep him out of Sunday’s game. As for Nesmith, he will miss a fourth consecutive contest. Ben Sheppard started on Friday but is questionable with a strained hip. If he can’t play, the Pacers may turn to Ethan Thompson to fill in for Nesmith.

Nembhard and McConnell remaining out means that Quenton Jackson should remain in the starting lineup. Given the Pacers’ lack of depth at point guard, he’s worth picking up for the final game of Week 23. Kam Jones played 23 minutes off the bench in Friday’s loss to the Hornets, dishing out a season-high 10 assists.

Jović was injured when his left leg got caught underneath his body after being fouled by Washington’s Jamir Watkins on an attempt to convert an alley-oop. While he was able to walk back to the locker room on his own, Jović did so slowly. He finished with five points (2-of-6 FGs), two assists and one three-pointer. Saturday’s game was the first for Jović since March 21, with injuries knocking down the pecking order within the Heat rotation.

Jaquez had an excellent Saturday afternoon, as his 32 points were a season-high. And he was highly efficient, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and committing just two turnovers. Add in the assists, and Jaquez enjoyed one of his best all-around performances of the season.

Ware put on a show on both ends of the floor in Saturday’s 152-136 victory. The second-year center’s 17 rebounds were the most in a game for him since December 21, when he grabbed 19 in a loss to the Knicks. Also, Ware’s eight blocks are a new career-high. Add in the excellent field-goal percentage and the three-point production, and fantasy managers rostering Ware had to be thrilled with the value received.

One would not blame the Wizards if they wondered where this version of Adebayo was when he torched them for 83 points on March 10. He attempted just six shots, as the Heat combined to finish one point shy of the franchise record for points in a game (153). The good news for fantasy managers was that Bam provided good value in rebounds and assists, even though his double-double streak ended at five games.

Unlike the last time Miami hosted the Wizards, no single player was responsible for most of the offensive damage. Wiggins was one of seven double-digit scorers, with three putting up at least 21 points. The veteran wing, who shot 4-of-5 from beyond the arc, recorded a complete stat line in 26 minutes of play. Not a bad finish to the week for Wiggins, whose Heat don’t play again until Tuesday.

Making another start for the injured Andrew Nembhard, Jackson had an efficient night at the office in Charlotte. He shot 75 percent from the field, and the five assists were countered by just one turnover. Add in the three-pointers, and Jackson was able to provide some value in multiple categories. His ability to affect fantasy basketball in the Pacers’ final game of Week 23 on Sunday depends on Nembhard’s availability.

After scoring in double figures in the Pacers’ first six games of March, Huff hit a dry spell. Entering Friday, he scored 10 points or more in four of his past ten appearances, offering minimal fantasy value at best on most nights. While Huff did record a complete stat line, he did so on 5-of-18 shooting from the field. And things won’t get easier, as the Pacers end Week 23 in Cleveland on Sunday.

Siakam had an excellent night individually, even with the premature ending. The Pacers’ forward exited with 3:48 remaining in the fourth quarter due to a bruised lower back and did not return. He played 34 minutes on Friday, an encouraging sign with the Pacers headed for the draft lottery. Indiana visits Cleveland on Sunday; fantasy managers will hope to get another game out of Siakam.

Toppin won’t miss any time, as he is officially upgraded from probable to active. The former lottery pick totaled just six points in 11 minutes in the win over Chicago on Wednesday, but had previously scored in double figures in each of the three previous appearances. He’ll have some fantasy value as a scorer and rebounder, barring any lingering injuries.

Siakam is good to go for Friday’s game, but this does not mean that he’s a look to play starters’ minutes.

Nembhard and McConnell will miss a second consecutive game due to their respective injuries.

Friday’s game will be the third straight missed by Nesmith and Walker due to their respective injuries. For Wednesday’s win over the Bulls, Jay Huff and Kobe Brown moved into the starting lineup, and both were productive. However, Brown logged 28 minutes to Huff’s 17, and the latter has played 20 minutes or less in each of his last three appearances. This trend makes Brown the safer option for deep-league managers.

Siakam and Toppin were also probable ahead of Wednesday’s win over the Bulls, a game in which the two logged 22 and 11 minutes, respectively. They’ll likely take on similar workloads on Friday. While Siakam can still be rostered in fantasy leagues under those circumstances, Toppin cannot.

Brown was one of many Pacers starters to have their way with the Bulls on Wednesday. In his 28 minutes, the third-year forward missed just two shots before finishing as Indiana’s third leading scorer, and also tied a season-high in assists. Brown’s opportunities and production have increased since being traded from the Clippers to the Pacers ahead of February’s trade deadline. He could potentially have some value as a streaming option towards the back half of Championship Week.

Despite previously being questionable with a knee issue, Siakam played and was arguably the most productive player on the floor on Wednesday. A one-sided affair limited the former Most Improved Player to just 22 minutes of game play. However, even in his limited action, he led the Pacers in scoring and was one of the team’s top facilitators. Siakam should remain a productive player so long as he takes the floor for this injury-hit Indiana team with one of the worst records in the NBA. Fantasy managers should expect more production from him on Friday against the Hornets.

Thompson had his most productive game as a pro on Wednesday, reaching the 20-point mark for the first time in his career, while setting a new career-high in three-pointers along the way. The rookie guard was part of a Pacers starting unit that dominated the Bulls. And as if his scoring wasn’t enough, Thompson was one of the team’s better passers on the night and also contributed on the defensive end with three stocks. Friday will present Thompson with an opportunity to put on an even better performance against the Hornets.

Jaquez’s double-double was his sixth of the season and first in just over two months. Rostered in 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the Heat wing is ranked outside the top-150 over the past two weeks. Jaquez’s value has not been terrible, but the lack of upside does mean that he isn’t a must-roster player in 12-team leagues.

One game removed from putting up 30 in a win over the 76ers, Herro struggled with his shot on Wednesday. He made just one of his five two-point attempts, which did a number on the overall field-goal percentage. Herro did provide good value in assists and three-pointers, but fantasy managers were likely hoping for a more efficient scoring night. He’ll look to bounce back on Saturday when the Heat host the Wizards.

After struggling with his perimeter shot in his first two-plus NBA seasons, Mitchell has made significant strides since joining the Heat last season. A 44.7 percent shooter from deep in his 30 regular-season games for Miami last season, “Off Night” has made over 39 percent of his attempts in 2025-26. Against the Celtics, Mitchell shot 5-of-10 from three and dished out seven assists without a turnover. The Heat play once more in Week 23, as they host the Wizards on Saturday.

Adebayo extended his double-double streak to five games on Wednesday, with the 29 points being the most in a game for him since March 21. Shooting 5-of-10 from beyond the arc, all that Bam’s line lacked was a blocked shot. While the Heat aren’t locked into the Play-In tournament yet, they risk being seeded ninth or tenth, which would require two wins to reach the playoffs as the 8-seed.

While Larsson is not a must-roster player when the Heat are whole, he is worth streaming when allowed to start.

Ware was solid in Miami’s two games against the Cavaliers, totaling 27 points, 18 rebounds, five assists, one steal, one blocked shot and five three-pointers. Inconsistency has been an issue for the second-year center, and the recent returns of Norman Powell and Andrew Wiggins limit Ware’s upside, even though they don’t share the same position.

The good news for fantasy managers is that Adebayo was active on the boards, as he grabbed a game-high 16 rebounds. However, with the Cavaliers getting Jarrett Allen back from a knee injury, Bam had a brutal night on offense. He shot 1-of-8 from three and wasn’t much better inside of the arc, shooting 2-of-6 from two. Sunday’s matchup with the Pacers sets up to be more manageable for Adebayo and the Heat, at least on paper.
