The Pacers are without Pascal Siakam, who will miss Sunday’s game with an elbow injury. Obi Toppin will fill the resulting void in the starting lineup and should be streamed wherever he’s available. That’s the lone change to Indiana’s starting five.

Sheppard’s absence does not significantly impact fantasy basketball, especially with Aaron Nesmith and Bennedict Mathurin available. Those two will absorb most of the minutes that would have gone to Sheppard, raising both ceilings.

Williams had a rough afternoon, shooting 3-of-10 from inside the arc. The positive for those who have J-Dub rostered is that he did not add to that issue by turning the ball over, as he did not commit any turnovers. Given where the Thunder are in the standings, ensuring their key players are healthy for the postseason is more important than putting up gaudy stat lines. Oklahoma City’s four-game Week 23 includes a back-to-back, so Williams managers in active leagues may only have him for three games.

The Lakers had an excellent defensive game plan for Sunday’s game, using a variety of looks to limit the Thunder to 99 points. They also successfully defended Gilgeous-Alexander without fouling, as he failed to attempt a free throw in a game for the first time this season. SGA still shot over 50 percent from the field and recorded solid point and assist numbers, so all wasn’t lost for those with the MVP favorite on their rosters. Oklahoma City plays four games during the final week of the regular season, starting with the Lakers on Tuesday.

While Sheppard does not significantly impact fantasy basketball, he does play consistent rotation minutes off the bench. His minutes could be distributed among multiple players, notably starter Aaron Nesmith and fellow reserve Bennedict Mathurin.

Siakam has been dealing with a right elbow issue for a few weeks, and Sunday’s game will be the first he missed since March 17. Jarace Walker is the likely replacement in the starting lineup, but the second-year forward offers limited streaming value when the rest of the Pacers’ rotation is whole. Walker is not a must-stream player, but desperate deep-league managers can consider it.

Gilgeous-Alexander’s 22 points were his lowest total since he scored 21 points against the Jazz on February 21. The 26-year-old’s typical level of play has reached heights that fantasy managers are miffed when he scores in the low-20s. Gilgeous-Alexander is still arguably the top player in fantasy. He’ll look to bounce back against the Lakers Sunday afternoon.

Williams continues to be an efficient scorer on a night-in and night-out basis. The 23-year-old small forward has made at least 50 percent of his field goal attempts in 10 of his last 11 games. Williams is usually behind star teammates Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, but he led the Thunder in points Friday.

Siakam was questionable with an elbow injury, but ended up having one of his better games of late Friday against the Jazz. The 31-year-old power forward impacted the game in a number of ways. He had 22 points on 16 shots including two made three-pointers. Siakam also chipped in with five rebounds and five assists. He also made his presence known on the defensive end with three steals and four blocks. Siakam has provided fifth-round fantasy value over the last month as he continues to have a strong season.

Haliburton once again had at least 10 assists, extending his new streak to three straight games. The 25-year-old point guard played just 28 minutes as the Pacers beat the Jazz by 28 points. Haliburton’s numbers can seemingly only be curtailed by blowouts at this point in the year. The Pacers will be back on the court Sunday against the Nuggets.

Turner went off for 26 points Friday against the Jazz. It’s the most points the 29-year-old center has had in a game since January 16, when he dropped 28 points on the Pistons. Turner was 9-of-17 from the field including three made three-pointers and got to the foul line eight times and made five free throws. Turner isn’t known for his scoring explosions, though he is a good shooter for a big man. He also impacted the game down low with seven rebounds and six blocks, which was the most he’s had since blocking six shots on February 20 against the Grizzlies.

With both Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein healthy, Williams wouldn’t have played a large role even if he was healthy. This will be a second-straight absence for him.

Both wings will be back in the lineup after Wiggins missed Oklahoma City’s last five games, while Caruso only missed one game.

Mathurin has missed Indiana’s last three games but may be back to take on Utah. Ben Sheppard has taken on extra minutes with Mathurin sidelined, but his skillset doesn’t translate well to fantasy basketball. If Mathurin is out again, Sheppard doesn’t need to be added off the waiver wire.

Nesmith is dealing with right ankle soreness. The 25-year-old small forward has been excellent over the past two weeks as he’s provided top-75 fantasy value. If Nesmith is out Friday, Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker are candidates to move into the starting lineup and see additional minutes.

Williams has had at least 20 points in three of four games since returning from a seven-game absence with a strained right hip. The 23-year-old small forward is the third banana on the Thunder after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren but is still capable of scoring at least 20 points with regularity as we’ve seen this season. With Williams doing his part, OKC is running on all cylinders as they head into the playoffs.

Holmgren shook off an off-night against the Bulls where he scored just five points Monday with an excellent bounce back performance against the Pistons Wednesday. The 22-year-old power forward missed all five of his three-point attempts, but was otherwise brilliant as he scored 22 points on 14 shots. He pulled down 11 rebounds and was a beast on the defensive end with five blocks. Holmgren also played 33 minutes, eschewing concerns over his hip injury that caused him to miss a game last week.

Gilgeous-Alexander long ago reached the point where nitpicking a 33-point effort counts as valid criticism. The 26-year-old point guard continued his dominant season against the Pistons Wednesday, though he was just 10-of-26 from the field in the 16-point win. SGA was a factor on the defensive end with three steals and two blocks. He’s now played eight more games than Nikola Jokic on the season (73 to 65), which could be the deciding factor in who the fantasy MVP is this year.

Turner returned from a one-game absence due to an illness. The 29-year-old center had 15 points on 10 shots including three made three-pointers. He almost had a double-double as well with nine rebounds. Turner also had two blocks and was able to play 29 minutes as the Pacers won by 14.

Nesmith led Indiana in scoring to help them get back on track after they lost to the Thunder on Saturday. Six of his 24 points came in the final 20 seconds as he went 6-of-6 at the free throw line to seal the victory for Indiana. Nesmith has been a solid contributor as a starter for the Pacers, especially as of late. He has provided top-75 value in nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks with averages of 13.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 triples while shooting 52.1 percent from the floor.

Toppin’s strong stretch continued on Monday, and this was his sixth-straight game scoring in double figures, which is his longest streak since he scored at least 10 points in nine consecutive games in December. Toppin has provided top-100 value in nine-cat leagues over the past week in just 19.8 minutes per game, which is an incredibly small sample size. Still, it shows just how effective he has been. It is quite the hot streak, but small volume success is hard to maintain, which makes it difficult to consider rostering Toppin in standard leagues.

Joe played 27 minutes off the bench as the Thunder blew out the Bulls by 28 points Monday. The 25-year-old shooting guard was feeling it. He made 8-of-14 attempts from behind the three-point line. Joe is strictly a streamer in deeper formats, but Monday was another example of his scoring ceiling.

Holmgren returned after missing Saturday’s game as he continues to manage a hip injury. The 22-year-old power forward was perhaps a little rusty, but the numbers were influenced by a blowout score.

The Thunder beat the Bulls by 28 Monday and the game was actually worse than the final score as Oklahoma City lost the fourth quarter by 12 while their backups were in. Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t need much time to have his MVP-impact felt. He produced this stat line in just 27 minutes. With only a few weeks left in the regular season, we’re running out of superlatives for the most spectacular player of the 2024-25 season.

With Myles Turner sidelined with an illness, Bryant made a return to the starting unit. While he has generally been productive as a starter this season, this was one of his quieter performances. The opportunity was too good for managers to pass up, but it was a disappointing night. If Turner remains out against the Hornets on Wednesday, Bryant should get another start and have a much better matchup than trying to deal with Domantas Sabonis on the glass.

Gilgeous-Alexander’s sublime season kept on rolling Saturday, even with supporting stars Jaylin Williams and Chet Holmgren out and Isaiah Hartenstein making an early exit due to injury, as he continues to bolster his MVP Award argument. SGA was literally a do-it-all superstar against the Pacers, pouring in 33 points on 23 shots, including three made three-pointers. He also got to the foul line 12 times and sunk 10 free throws. Gilgeous-Alexander also dished out eight assists and was close to a triple-double with seven rebounds as well. The 26-year-old point guard is a lock for his first career MVP Award, and with Nikola Jokic missing games down the home stretch, he’s the fantasy basketball MVP too.

Nembhard has now had at least seven assists in back-to-back games and three of his last five games. The 25-year-old point guard played a team-high 30 minutes Saturday and was -15 in the 21-point loss to the Thunder.
