Fleming is out with a sprained left ankle. While the rookie’s absence does not impact fantasy basketball, he may be missing out on valuable in-game reps with the Suns’ G League affiliate. Fleming has played a total of 46 minutes in eight appearances this season.

Huff’s play and minutes aren’t consistent enough, but the 28-year-old center certainly could be an interesting fantasy asset if anything changes. He has the ability to fill up the stat sheet as he did Wednesday with 20 points, five rebounds, four assists, three blocks and four three-pointers. That’s the kind of varied skillset fantasy managers covet. Huff’s 27 minutes played against the Hornets were a season-high and he’s worth rostering in case that level of regular playing time becomes a trend.

Siakam was hardly efficient with 22 points on 17 shots, but he led the Pacers with +25 in 37 minutes of the nine-point win over the Hornets as the team improved to 2-13. Siakam has been a bright spot in the nightmare start the Pacers have had to the season. While he not only provided 22 points, he dished out seven assists and had a block and a steal. Siakam showed once again this year that he’s not going down without a fight.

Mathurin returned from a toe injury on Monday against the Pistons and had 25 points in 25 minutes while on a minutes restriction. The 23-year-old small forward scored 24 points in 34 minutes against the Hornets on Wednesday, signaling that he can handle more minutes. It’s just two games, but Mathurin has scored 49 points and grabbed 15 rebounds already this week. After averaging 16.1 points and 5.3 rebounds last year, he could be in for a breakout season.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle made just one change to his starting lineup, replacing Jarace Walker with Sheppard. While he does not offer the same offensive ceiling, Sheppard is a solid defender who can be helpful in this matchup. Walker will remain in the rotation, but his inefficient offense has been problematic for fantasy managers.

Gillespie has been one of the Suns’ unsung heroes thus far, providing solid production off the bench. Tuesday’s performance was his best, with the third-year guard notching a season-high point total. With Jalen Green and Grayson Allen out due to injury, Gillespie is in a place where he can provide deep-league value. He’s been a 10th-round player in nine-cat formats this season and is now rostered in 18 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Given his injury history and the Suns’ measured approach in incorporating him into the lineup to begin the season, Williams’ only playing 21 minutes on Tuesday was a positive. He was productive on the floor, finishing with a stat line that lacked only a three-pointer, and the 7-footer has never been a perimeter shooter. Williams is ranked just outside the top-50 in nine-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP of 83. He should play more when the Suns face the Timberwolves on Friday.

While fantasy managers may have wanted to see more from Booker, Tuesday night went well for him and the Suns. The star guard watched most of the fourth quarter from the bench as his teammates closed out a comfortable victory. Due primarily to turnovers, Booker is ranked just outside the top-50 in nine-cat formats. However, he only committed one on Tuesday, the third time he’s had that few in a game this season. Booker and the Suns play two more games this week, starting with the Timberwolves on Friday.

Siakam continues to solider on as the bright spot on a Pacers team that fell to 1-13 with the loss to the Pistons on Monday. The 31-year-old power forward had 29 points on 17 attempts in the loss. The Pacers will have a chance to get back in the win column next against the Hornets on Wednesday.

Mathurin is back and will make his first appearance since October 25, as he returns from a foot injury. As a result, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will head back to the bench.

Mathurin is set to make his return from a toe injury against the Pistons on Monday. The 23-year-old shooting guard participated in a simulated game over the weekend. His return is huge for the Pacers, who’ve been dealt a brutal hand of injuries to start the season. It’s unclear if Mathurin will be on a minutes limit in his first game back.

Gillespie wasn’t the replacement in the starting lineup for the injured Grayson Allen, but he continues to benefit from the absences of key guards. Gillespie finished Sunday’s defeat a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, and he’s providing 10th-round value in nine-cat formats this season. Ryan Dunn, who started for Allen, finished with 12 points, four rebounds, four assists, two steals and two three-pointers. While he can be of use in deeper leagues, Gillespie is the player fantasy managers should seek first if Allen remains out.

Booker shot the ball well overall, but he missed all six of his three-point attempts. And he’s in the midst of a serious funk, having shot 3-of-24 from beyond the arc over his last five games. The good news for fantasy managers is that Booker has still been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats during this run of poor perimeter shooting. He’ll look to get back on track Tuesday night in Portland.

Brooks put on an offensive clinic during the first three quarters of Sunday’s game, going off for 30 points. While his shot selection can occasionally go off the rails, that was not the case against the Hawks. And with Jalen Green (hamstring) once again out for an extended period, Brooks will have more leeway within the offense to get his shots. Rostered in 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s been a fourth-round player thus far. Phoenix plays three games during Week 5, starting with Portland on Tuesday.

Williams is back after sitting out Phoenix’s win over the Pacers on Thursday, which pushes Nick Richards to the bench.

Siakam was one of the few bright spots for Indiana in this one as they fell to 1-12 overall to open the season. It’s officially the worst start to a season in franchise history. Not only are they without franchise cornerstone Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles), but they’re also without Aaron Nesmith (knee), Obi Topin (foot) and Bennedict Mathurin (toe) right now. The 31-year-old forward has picked up the slack from a scoring perspective recently, averaging 25 points over his last three games. The injury-ravaged Pacers will attempt to turn things around next week when they face the Pistons, Hornets and Cavaliers.

Nembhard got off to a sizzling-hot start with Aaron Nemsmith (knee) out of the lineup, pouring in 11 points in the opening stanza on 4-of-5 shooting, including a trio of three pointers. He cooled off in the second quarter, finishing with just two points and was limited to just nine more during the entire second half. He and teammate Pascal Siakam were the lone Pacers in double figures as they struggled to put up points due to an avalanche of injuries to key contributors. It’s a tough development for Indiana, but the lack of additional scoring threats should lead to more opportunities for Nembhard in the coming weeks.

After a few rough performances, Booker was able to get back on track in this game. He opened the year by scoring at least 30 points in five of his first six games but entered this game having scored fewer than 30 points i four straight.

Brooks did most of his work in the first half, and he entered the break with 24 points, which was a career-best for any half for him. That led to a new season-high for scoring, even if it felt like it was going to be a bigger night. The lopsided score limited him to 28 minutes, so perhaps it could’ve been a bigger night if the game was closer. This was a strong game, but don’t expect this to be the norm for Brooks moving forward.

Grayson Allen (quad) didn’t return for the second half of this game, which allowed Gillespie to start the third quarter in his place. Gillespie had already been producing well as a reserve, but if Allen remains out beyond this game, Gillespie will quickly become a must-roster player.

This was a second straight start for Bradley, and while he wasn’t great, he was able to score in double figures.

It wasn’t a great shooting night for Nembhard, but he was at least able to get some offense going, which can’t really be said for the rest of the team.

Things may not get better for the Pacers, but Nembhard should continue to be productive.

The Pacers are calling it left knee soreness, but Nesmith stepped on Jeremiah Robinson-Earl’s foot, which caused his knee to turn awkwardly.

Given the amount of time McConnell missed with a strained right hamstring, it’s unsurprising that he was on a minutes restriction Tuesday night. However, he only played 11 minutes and did not see any action after halftime.

Nembhard has surpassed 20 points in two of the three games he’s played since returning from a shoulder injury, with Tuesday’s total being a season-high. Add in the percentages, assists and three-pointers, and this is the kind of performance that Nembhard managers will hope becomes the norm (or close to it). T.J.

Siakam’s return from a one-game absence did not keep the Pacers from giving up 152 points on Tuesday, but he did provide fantasy managers with another solid stat line. Thus far, Spicy P is ranked outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats, providing greater value in the former. His usage has jumped by more than six percentage points from last season, but the Pacers’ lack of proven scorers has negatively impacted Siakam’s value. On a better version of this team, he would be an enticing “buy low” option. However, with Indiana now 1-10, managers who have Siakam rostered may be concerned about a potential late-season tank.

His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup for Royce O’Neale, a solid deep-league option for managers needing three-pointers and steals.
