Huff, who leads the NBA in blocks this season, knocked down 4-of-7 from three-point range and matched his previous season-high mark that he set back on November 19 in a win over the Hornets. Unfortunately, his offensive outburst wasn’t enough as Indiana dropped their 13th straight game and remain winless since December 8. The 27-year-old shot blocker is averaging 2.2 per-game, which gives him some relevance in deeper fantasy leagues.

After coming off the bench for Indiana’s last two games, Huff is back in the starting lineup. He brings little more height to the table in Tuesday’s matchup, with Cleveland starting Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Micah Potter heads to the bench but should remain in the rotation.

Huff has started 14 straight games, averaging 2.9 swats per game in that span. He leads the Association in total blocks at 77, and he’ll look to add to that total on Monday.

Huff is dealing with a sprained left ankle, casting some doubt on his availability for Monday’s game. With Isaiah Jackson (concussion) already out, the Pacers will have to rely on Tony Bradley and Micah Potter if Huff cannot play.

Facing one of the NBA’s premier perimeter-shooting big men in Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid, Huff spent most of his time on the perimeter. Of the 12 shots he attempted, 11 came from beyond the arc. The good news is that Huff made four, but his field-goal percentage took a hit. However, more important than that was the split of the minutes. Huff played 27 minutes, with Isaiah Jackson (7/9/1) logging 12 and Tony Bradley (2/2/1/1) nine. If Huff can continue to get playing time of that quality moving forward, he becomes a more trustworthy fantasy option.

Huff has reached double figures in five straight, with Monday’s point total being his highest since November 19 (season-high 20 vs. Charlotte). He’s been the starting center the last three games, with Isaiah Jackson (6/3/0/1/2 in 16 minutes) being pushed to the bench. While iJax is the Pacers’ former first-round pick, Huff has been more consistently productive, and he’s received more opportunities as a result.

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.

According to Cleaning the Glass, Huff has played 21 percent of his minutes this season at power forward, and that was his role on Sunday. He recorded his first double-double of the season, hitting double digits in scoring for the second time and in rebounds for the first. Isaiah Jackson (12/6/1/0/1 in 21 minutes) also recorded a solid stat line, but he and Huff played 21 and 22 minutes, respectively. That’s the issue for both, especially with Pascal Siakam returning after sitting out Sunday’s game for rest reasons. Jackson is the player whom more fantasy managers have invested in, but Huff has provided greater fantasy value.

The Pacers are without Aaron Nesmith and Pascal Siakam for Sunday’s game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Sheppard and Huff will fill the vacancies, raising the ceiling of both players. While worthy of consideration in deep leagues, neither is a must-roster player.

Due to his team’s many injuries on the perimeter, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle has to go with a bigger lineup on Sunday. Huff and Jackson start, with the latter replacing James Wiseman in the starting lineup. With Bennedict Mathurin (toe) out, Nesmith and Siakam shift up a position, while Huff is the starting power forward.

The most important fantasy storyline in Indiana this offseason was who would start at center with Myles Turner now in Milwaukee. Isaiah Jackson got the nod in the preseason opener, but Huff ended up playing 19 minutes to Jackson’s nine. Sure, Jackson quickly found himself in foul trouble, which has been a consistent issue throughout his career, but this also shows that all hope shouldn’t be abandoned just because Huff came off the bench. This position battle will certainly be worth monitoring throughout the preseason.

The pick swap is reportedly in 2031, while the other second rounder is a 2029 pick from Portland, per HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto. Huff could be in line to play a significant role for the Pacers next season after Myles Turner departed for Milwaukee in free agency. Indiana has a few months to figure out their center rotation, but as of now, Huff could end up as an intriguing late-round swing.

Huff did not start Sunday’s game, but that did not prevent him from putting on a show on both ends of the floor. He recorded career highs in points and blocks, finishing with a robust stat line sure to benefit any fantasy manager who rolled the dice on him. Due to Memphis’s overall depth, Huff has not been a consistent factor in fantasy basketball. However, he’s good enough to offer solid streaming value when the Grizzlies are shorthanded, as they were on Sunday.

Huff got the spot start, his first since November, and played 25 minutes with the Grizzlies missing Zach Edey, Vince Williams, Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson Jr. Monday against the Suns. The 27-year-old center wasn’t much on the boards, but he made four 3-pointers. Huff would have some value in deep leagues if a scenario that necessitates him starting were to arise again.
