After only scoring nine points in 22 minutes on Wednesday, Turner bounced back and had his first double-double in nearly a month and his first 20-point double-double since December. He also had his highest block total in a game since Indiana’s first game after the All-Star break; he swatted seven shots in that game. This was the ideal game for managers that have Turner rostered, and he’ll look to repeat this performance in a rematch with Brooklyn on Saturday to close out the week.

This was an uncharacteristically quiet performance from Siakam that came 24 hours after he scored 29 points in a win over Dallas. It was a new season-low in scoring for Siakam and only the second time this season that he failed to score at least 10 points. He entered this game having scored at least 25 points in four consecutive games. A disappointing result for fantasy purposes, but Siakam still did enough for Indiana to get the win in overtime. Siakam will look to get back on track in a rematch with the Nets on Saturday.

This was a third-straight start for Mathurin in place of Tyrese Haliburton, who has been sidelined with a back injury. Mathurin has scored at least 20 points in all three starts, but he was also able to set a new career-high for rebounds in this game. He has averaged a career-high 5.4 rebounds per game this season, but this was the best rebounding night of his career by a decent margin. Mathurin hasn’t been able to consistently provide value in categories other than scoring, but if he can continue to improve as a rebounder, he may be able to produce top-100 value in nine-cat leagues eventually.

Nembhard continues to operate as Indiana’s primary point guard with Tyrese Haliburton sidelined, but it was a subpar night on Thursday. He struggled with his shot and ended up with more turnovers than assists, which is the exact opposite of what Haliburton typically provides. His night also ended early. Nembhard picked up a technical during an altercation with Trendon Watford in the fourth quarter, and he picked up a second technical in overtime. Even if he played out the final few minutes, there wasn’t much Nembhard would have been able to do to redeem his night.

Toppin should be picked up if Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner remain out for Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks.

According to Charania, George received injections in his left adductor muscle and left knee on Monday. As a result, he will not play again this season, with the 76ers wing expected to be sidelined for at least six weeks. Expected to be part of a “big three” with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey that would make the 76ers a title contender, George struggled to stay healthy. A hyperextended knee suffered during the preseason was the beginning of a challenging season for George, who many expected to be a third-round player in fantasy basketball. Justin Edwards should play plenty as the regular season approaches its conclusion and is worth streaming in deep leagues.
