Jackson has been available for the Pacers’ last three games, most recently logging 20 minutes off the bench in Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers. His opportunities will depend on the availability of Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell, who are also questionable for Saturday’s game. If Nembhard remains out, there should be additional rotation minutes available to Jackson if he plays.

Nembhard has missed the Pacers’ last three games with a calf injury, with McConnell replacing him in the starting lineup. Fantasy managers should expect the same if Nembhard can’t play on Saturday, with Quenton Jackson (if available) and Kam Jones serving as the backups. Jackson is also listed as questionable due to a strained right calf.

After totaling 21 points in his first four appearances, Slawson put up 17 in Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers. However, his productivity in other categories, even before this effort, may have put him on the radar in some deep fantasy leagues. In his first four games, Slawson totaled 16 rebounds, 11 assists, seven steals and five blocked shots, so there was some category-league potential. He recorded a complete line against the Trail Blazers, and Slawson may be worth a look ahead of the Pacers’ four-game Week 22.

Zubac played 23 minutes before having to exit early due to a hit to the head. The good news is that the 7-footer was not experiencing a headache after the game and did not need to enter concussion protocols, but the hit did leave a knot. The Pacers don’t play again until Saturday against the Spurs, which could be enough time for Zubac to recover fully.

Can Nesmith be a silly season hero? He’s now scored at least 12 points in five straight games, his most productive scoring run in over a month. While the overall stat line on Wednesday was somewhat lean, he has been a top-100 player in eight-cat formats over the past week. Availability could be an issue for Nesmith and the other available Pacers mainstays between now and the end of the season, but he’s on a good run right now.

Carlisle opined that Siakam will play again at some point this season, but he did not have a definitive answer regarding the forward’s availability. Jarace Walker will have a higher fantasy ceiling while Siakam sits, and he’s worth the risk in deep leagues. Those rostering Siakam should continue to stash him in an IL slot.

Alvarado moved into the starting lineup with Jalen Brunson (ankle) sidelined for this game and took full advantage of the opportunity. He recorded a double-double for the first time this season and provided his usual dose of steals. Knicks coach Mike Brown said he’d “imagine” Brunson is back to take on the Nets on Friday, so this was likely just a one-game stream for Alvarado, though it’s worth keeping an eye on the injury report. It’s also worth noting how good Alvarado was in case Brunson misses more time in the future.

Anunoby has been on fire recently, which has led to some strong performances. He has shot 55.2 percent from the floor over the past two weeks while averaging 21.5 points and 3.1 triples per game during that stretch. this was just another example of an uber-efficient outing, and he’ll look to stay hot in Brooklyn on Friday.

With Jalen Brunson (ankle) sidelined, Hart stepped up on offense with an unreal shooting night. He became the fourth player in franchise history to score at least 30 points while shooting at least 90 percent from the floor, joining Walt Bellamy, Willis Reed and Bernard King. In fact, it’s only happened 104 times in NBA history, though it was the sixth time it has happened this season. Hart was fantastic, though it is unlikely he is able to come close to matching this performance anytime soon.

This was a second straight start for McConnell, and had he scored one extra point on Sunday, this would’ve been a second straight double-double. Still, it was a solid outing for McConnell in just 20 minutes, and he should remain a starter as long as Andrew Nembhard (calf) is sidelined. However, this was the first night of a back-to-back, so keep an eye on the injury report ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Trail Blazers.
