Siakam will remain out for a second straight game, with Jalen Slawson replacing him as a starter on Sunday. Slawson scored 19 points in 33 minutes on Sunday and should play a similar role against Minnesota.

Siakam suffered back and ankle injuries during Friday’s loss to the Hornets, but it’s the latter that will keep him out of Sunday’s game. As for Nesmith, he will miss a fourth consecutive contest. Ben Sheppard started on Friday but is questionable with a strained hip. If he can’t play, the Pacers may turn to Ethan Thompson to fill in for Nesmith.

Siakam had an excellent night individually, even with the premature ending. The Pacers’ forward exited with 3:48 remaining in the fourth quarter due to a bruised lower back and did not return. He played 34 minutes on Friday, an encouraging sign with the Pacers headed for the draft lottery. Indiana visits Cleveland on Sunday; fantasy managers will hope to get another game out of Siakam.

Siakam is good to go for Friday’s game, but this does not mean that he’s a look to play starters’ minutes. While productive in Wednesday’s win over the Bulls, Spicy P logged 22 minutes because of the nature of the game. Hopefully, if Friday’s game remains competitive throughout, Siakam will be able to hit 30 minutes.

Siakam and Toppin were also probable ahead of Wednesday’s win over the Bulls, a game in which the two logged 22 and 11 minutes, respectively. They’ll likely take on similar workloads on Friday. While Siakam can still be rostered in fantasy leagues under those circumstances, Toppin cannot.

Despite previously being questionable with a knee issue, Siakam played and was arguably the most productive player on the floor on Wednesday. A one-sided affair limited the former Most Improved Player to just 22 minutes of game play. However, even in his limited action, he led the Pacers in scoring and was one of the team’s top facilitators. Siakam should remain a productive player so long as he takes the floor for this injury-hit Indiana team with one of the worst records in the NBA. Fantasy managers should expect more production from him on Friday against the Hornets.

Siakam won’t miss any time despite dealing with knee issues. He’ll take the floor on the heels of a 30-point, 11-rebound double-double against the Heat to end March. Siakam remains Indiana’s go-to guy, even at this point in the season with the Pacers having one of the NBA’s worst records — he’ll have a chance to put up some big numbers, once again.

Siakam has been available for five straight games and is expected to remain available for another game. He had 30 points, 11 rebounds and six assists in Sunday’s win over Miami and will look to stay hot against Chicago.

Siakam was ejected from Wednesday’s loss to the Lakers and had only 11 points in Friday’s loss to the Clippers, but bounced back with a big game in the win over the Heat on Sunday. The Pacers have three games coming up in the week ahead, starting with a road matchup against the Bulls on Wednesday.

Siakam was initially listed as questionable as he continues to manage a knee injury, but was ruled in for Sunday’s game against the Heat. The 31-year-old power forward was ejected from Wednesday’s loss to the Lakers and had just 11 points in 33 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Clippers.

Siakam is questionable due to knee injury management, while Nesmith is dealing with a sore back. Ben Sheppard and Kobe Brown are two players whose minutes could increase if Siakam or Nesmith can’t play due to their injuries.

Siakam was assessed his second technical foul of the night for arguing a foul call just over halfway through the fourth quarter. He finished with 20 points (7-of-15 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one blocked shot. The Pacers return to action Friday when they host the Clippers.

Siakam was initially probable for Wednesday’s game, so the status upgrade was expected. He logged 34 minutes in Monday’s win over the Magic, which ended the Pacers’ 16-game losing streak. Hopefully, that is a positive indicator of how much Siakam will play on Wednesday.

Siakam is expected to be available for a third straight game, and he’s coming off scoring a season-high 37 points to help the Pacers snap a 16-game losing streak. He played 34 minutes in that game, so managers should expect him to play a similar role against the Lakers.

At long last, the Pacers’ 16-game losing streak has come to an end. The motivation to end it on Monday likely influenced the minutes played by Siakam and the other starters, with four of them playing between 33 and 35 minutes. Siakam shot 50 percent from the field and made all nine of his free throw attempts in one of his more efficient efforts of the season. The Pacers play three more games in Week 22 without a back-to-back, but that does not guarantee fantasy managers of a fully available Siakam, especially with the losing streak now over.

Siakam had 14 points in 29 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs, which was his first game action since March 8. Toppin played 19 minutes off the bench. With both forwards ruled in for Monday’s game against the Magic, expect them to take on similar workloads.

Saturday’s game was Siakam’s first since March 8, so there may have been some concerns about a potential minutes limit. While the production was limited, the fact that Siakam played 29 minutes was encouraging. Will that continue? That’s the big question for fantasy managers who have him rostered, especially those competing for fantasy championships next week. While Indiana’s four-game slate is promising, the uncertainty around how much Siakam will play is a concern.

Saturday’s game will be Siakam’s first in nearly two weeks, as he last played on March 8. How much he’ll play remains to be seen, but Spicy P does not need to go well into the thirties minutes-wise to provide good fantasy value. As for Toppin, his minutes may be limited, making him a deep-league option at best.

Siakam has not appeared in a game since March 8. However, unlike previous spots in which he was initially listed as doubtful, he’s questionable for Saturday. If Siakam can play, Jalen Slawson may be inactive for two-way contract reasons. Slawson is also questionable for Saturday night.

Carlisle opined that Siakam will play again at some point this season, but he did not have a definitive answer regarding the forward’s availability. Jarace Walker will have a higher fantasy ceiling while Siakam sits, and he’s worth the risk in deep leagues. Those rostering Siakam should continue to stash him in an IL slot.

Siakam has missed the last four games with a knee injury and was initially listed as doubtful for Tuesday’s game against the Knicks, so his absence isn’t a surprise. Kobe Brown could emerge as a streaming option with Siakam sidelined.

Siakam has missed Indiana’s last four games, and the unfortunate streak is likely to hit five on Tuesday. Depending on who’s available, Kobe Brown and Jalen Slawson could see their opportunities increase, with the latter having started Sunday’s loss to the Bucks. Of the two, Brown is the safer streaming option.

Siakam has missed the Pacers’ last three games, and it appears likely that he’ll miss a fourth on Sunday. Kobe Brown entered the starting lineup for Friday’s loss to the Knicks, and he could remain in that role against the Bucks. Brown would be worth streaming as a starter.

Siakam had originally been ruled doubtful, so it’s not a shock that he will miss another game. Obi Toppin will likely start in his place, as he did on Tuesday against the Kings, with Jay Huff taking on a bigger usage role.

Siakam was held out of Tuesday’s loss to the Kings, with Obi Toppin replacing him in the starting lineup. Toppin remains under a minutes limit, playing 15 against Sacramento. While productive as the spot starter, Obi is a risky play due to his limited playing time.
