Mathurin has missed the Pacers’ last three games with a sprained left wrist. His absence has freed up additional rotation minutes for Ben Sheppard, whose fantasy value has not been impacted significantly by the increase in playing time. He should remain on the waiver wire, even if Mathurin misses another game.

Haliburton hasn’t missed many games this season, but has a legitimate chance to be out Thursday as he’s listed as questionable with a hip injury. If that’s the case, T.J. McConnell, Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin would pick up additional minutes.

With Gradey Dick (knee) sidelined for at least two weeks, this should be the first of many starts for Walter in the near future. It’s an excellent opportunity for the rookie, and he took advantage on Tuesday. Darko Rajakovic benched his starters at the end of the game, which was likely an effort to improve Toronto’s lottery odds. However, Walter didn’t seem to get the memo, and he hit a three-pointer with half a second left in the fourth quarter to five the Raptors the lead. The rookie is available in 99 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and Toronto has two more games this week.

Barnes struggled in Sunday’s win over Orlando, but he was more productive in the rematch on Tuesday. Barnes fell one rebound shy of tying his season-high, and he was able to contribute value across the board. Unfortunately, he was among the starters that were benched late in this game, and he didn’t play the final eight minutes of Tuesday’s win. The intention was likely to improve Toronto’s lottery odds, but the reserves still got the win. Still, that should be a red flag for fantasy managers. Keep an eye on the injury report moving forward.

The two game series in Orlando between these teams featured two eerily similar games. Barrett scored 20 points while shooting at least 50 percent from the field in both, and Toronto won two games that came down to the wire. That seemed to work against what they wanted to happen, as Barrett was among the starters that were pulled from the game late to try and help the Raptors improve their lottery odds. It didn’t work, which is a bit concerning for managers that have Barrett rostered. Hopefully he’ll continue to suit up, but managers should keep a close eye on the injury report.

Turner entered Tuesday averaging 1.8 blocks per game, the fewest he’s accounted for since the 2017-18 campaign. That number will increase after his showing against the Rockets, as Turner racked up a season-high five blocked shots. Add four three-pointers, and the Pacers center had a solid night. Since the break, Turner has been an elite fantasy option, providing top-10 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. He and the Pacers end Week 18 with two games against the Hawks in Atlanta.

Nembhard didn’t do much scoring on Tuesday, but he was a factor in a few other fantasy-relevant categories. The four steals were a season-high, and the six “stocks” were double his previous high. Add solid rebound and assist numbers, and category-league managers received solid value from Nembhard. Rostered in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s ranked just outside the top 100 in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break.

Haliburton recorded his sixth straight double-double on Tuesday as he continues his post-All-Star break tour de force. The Pacers point guard remains atop Basketball Monster’s eight- and nine-cat rankings, and he’s closing in on top-5 value in the latter for the season. It took some time, but this is the version of Haliburton many fantasy managers expected when the season began. The leg injuries that kept him shelved for most of the Paris Olympics are in the rearview mirror, to the delight of the Pacers and fantasy managers.

Mogbo played seven minutes in the first half, but he won’t be available for the remainder of Tuesday’s game after an inadvertent hit from Paolo Banchero. Orlando Robinson should take on more minutes in the second half with Mogbo sidelined.

Mathurin will remain sidelined for a third straight game with a sprained left wrist, but a return may not be far away.

Gradey injured his right knee during the first half of Sunday’s win over the Magic, suffering a hyperextension that resulted in a bone bruise. While there wasn’t any ligament damage, the second-year wing will miss at least two weeks before being re-evaluated. Rookie Ja’Kobe Walter started the third quarter of Sunday’s game in Gradey’s place and will be worth streaming if he retains that place in the lineup.

While Robinson’s contract has been converted from a two-way contract to a standard contract, it’ll just be for the rest of the season without the Raptors adding additional years. Robinson has been a contributor at the center position for Toronto this year, though he’ll only have fantasy value when Jacob Poeltl is out of the lineup.

Dick exited early on Sunday with what the team initially said was a right knee hyperextension and sit-bone bruise. Now, he’s only listed with the bone bruise in his pelvis. It was a rough injury for Dick, who took a shot to the head and had teammate RJ Barrett fall on his leg during the same play. Ja’Kobe Walter should start in place of Dick on Tuesday and as long as he is sidelined.

Gradey was injured late in the second quarter of Sunday’s win over the Magic. On the same play, he took an inadvertent shot to the mouth as teammate RJ Barrett fell into his leg after attempting a shot. While there’s no timeline for the knee injury, the good news is that Gradey cleared concussion protocol and is simply dealing with a cut lip. If he misses time, Ja’Kobe Walter (7/4/1/1 with one three-pointer in 31 minutes) is the likely replacement in the starting lineup.

After playing 24 and 22 minutes in his first two games back from a hip pointer, Poeltl played 26 against the Magic. The veteran center recorded his first double-double since February 2, and the 16 points are the most Poeltl’s scored in a game since January 27 (21 vs. New Orleans). His minutes limit has led to more playing time for Orlando Robinson, who contributed six points, seven rebounds and one blocked shot in 21 minutes. However, Robinson will only have value on nights when Poeltl doesn’t play.

Barrett remains a superior option in eight-cat formats than nine-cat, and Sunday was a prime example of why. He shot the ball well and recorded a solid stat line, but RJ was also responsible for five turnovers. Since the All-Star break, there has been a four-round difference in Barrett’s fantasy value, with the 2019 draft pick being far better in turnover-punt builds. He’ll look to clean up the turnovers when the Raptors face the Magic again on Tuesday.

Quickley has scored 23 points or more in four of Toronto’s six games since the All-Star break. However, the combination of limited defensive production and a mediocre field goal percentage means he has only been a top 100 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. That’s better than Quickley’s season-long fantasy value, so the uptick in overall production is coming at the right time for those who have him rostered. The Raptors play three games during Week 18, starting with Tuesday’s rematch with the Magic.

Gradey was injured late in the second quarter, as he took an inadvertent hit to the head and teammate RJ Barrett fell into his right leg on the same play.

Regarding fantasy value, Haliburton has been outstanding since the All-Star break. Recording his fifth straight points/assists double-double, the Pacers point guard is ranked first in eight- and nine-cat formats, per Basketball Monster. Haliburton is providing top-10 value in nine-cat formats for the season, and it’s realistic to expect him to maintain that for the remainder of the season. The Pacers begin a three-game Week 18 with a home game against the Rockets on Tuesday.

While the final stat line was solid, Siakam continues to struggle at the foul line. Since the All-Star break, he’s made 50 percent of his attempts, slightly better than his percentage from the field (49.5). The foul shooting and limited defensive production are why Siakam has been ranked outside the top 200 in eight-cat formats since the break. His season-long fantasy value remains fine, but managers need more from Spicy P as the playoffs approach.

Part of the Pacers’ starting lineup due to his defensive ability, Nesmith has never lacked the ability to knock down shots. He had his best offensive performance of the season on Sunday, recording his first 20-point game. Nesmith has hit double figures in five of his last six outings, sitting just outside the top 75 in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. The Pacers play three games during Week 18, starting with the Rockets on Tuesday.

Bradley, the 28th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, is back in the Association. Most recently, he’s been with the G League’s College Park SkyHawks, averaging 14.0 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocked shots per game. Bradley most recently played in the NBA during the 2022-23 campaign, appearing in 12 games for the Bulls. With Myles Turner and Thomas Bryant healthy, Bradley is unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball.

Quickley has had at least 20 points in five of his last eight games. The 25-year-old point guard has a varied skill set and can put up numbers in all offensive categories.

Barnes returned from a one-game absence due to a hip injury and had an excellent game. The 23-year-old small forward filled up the stat sheet, contributing in every category.

Haliburton had at least 10 assists for the fourth straight game as he’s had a double-double in all four of those games. The 24-year-old point guard has rebounded from an uneven start to the season.

Poeltl returned to the Raptors lineup after missing seven games with a hip pointer, and his minutes were restricted. The injury may have factored in Myles Turner punishing the Raptors from beyond the arc, as he made all five attempts on the night. The Raptors play twice more during Week 17 without a back-to-back, so availability may not be an issue for Poeltl. However, with the team six games out of the last play-in spot, there may be little motivation to increase the seven-footer’s minutes.

With Scottie Barnes ruled out, Agbaji made his first start since February 11 on Wednesday. While the final stat line wasn’t all that impressive, this was his first double-digit scoring effort since the Raptors’ final game before the All-Star break. Agbaji is among the players to watch in Toronto as the season winds down, as his playing time will likely increase if the front office decides to pull the plug. There’s no need to roster Agbaji, but adding him to deep-league watchlists is fine.

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.
