Jackson finished the season strong with 12.7 points per game and 5.3 assists per game in seven games in April. While the 27-year-old guard certainly showed some promise, it still remains to be seen if he’ll factor into the Pacers’ rotation next year when the team is healthy.

Walker started and had 17 points against the 76ers on Friday, but is set to miss Sunday’s game against the Pistons with a left foot sprain. The 22-year-old small forward had a promising season, but it remains to be seen if he can crack the Pacers’ rotation when the team is fully healthy.

Brown will be good to go and should play a significant role in this game. He played 27 minutes in Friday’s loss, but Indiana will be even more shorthanded for this one. Brown will continue to start.

Brown started and played 27 minutes in Friday’s loss to the 76ers, offering limited production. He should remain in the starting lineup if available for Sunday’s season finale; Jalen Slawson is a potential replacement in the lineup if Brown sits.

While Walker started Friday’s loss to the 76ers, Sheppard did not play. If available, they’ll take on their usual roles, with Sheppard providing depth off the bench. And there will still be rotation minutes available to Jalen Slawson.

The expectations for Huff were high entering this season due to the lack of other center options for the Pacers. While he has had the best season of his career, most of his value has been tied to his shot blocking, which has certainly been impressive. He matched his season high for swats in this one, but he also made a contribution on the glass. This was just the third time this season that Huff finished with double-digit rebounds. This was a fun season, but he will likely return to being a depth big behind Ivica Zubac next season.

Potter has started three of the Pacers’ last four games, and in each of those starts, he recorded a double-double. Potter signed a two-year deal with Indiana in December to help fill out some of the minutes at center. He’ll continue to play a significant role for them in their final game of the season on Sunday against the Pistons. However, it is unlikely he plays a significant role next season when the team is fully healthy.

Walker led Indiana in scoring in this game, but it wasn’t enough for them to get a second straight win. Walker has had a strong third season in the league and has taken advantage of the extra opportunity, but he hasn’t been able to shoot efficiently or contribute much defensively. Walker has shown some flashes, but it is difficult to project him playing a significant role when Indiana is healthy next season.

Both players will be out for another game, and Jalen Slawson could take on additional minutes. Kobe Brown (back) is questionable, and if he’s available, he could be in line for an expanded role.

Walker was impactful across the board on Thursday — he produced as a scorer, attacked the glass, facilitated, and was disruptive on the defensive end throughout the game. As a result, the third-year forward came close to securing a double-double. Walker has now scored in double figures while securing at least six rebounds and four assists in three of the last four games. He’s contributing in all areas down the stretch of the season and will look to have another productive game on Friday against the Sixers.

Potter performed well in his 23 minutes on Thursday. He was aggressive as a shot-taker, an approach that led him to finish as the team’s second-highest scorer on the evening. However, his domination on the glass was perhaps the most impressive part of the outing; Potter’s 14 boards led all players and marked a new season high. The fifth-year center has played the best basketball of his NBA career this season; he’ll have a chance to finish strong with two games remaining.

Toppin used his 19 minutes of game action well on Thursday, missing just three shots en route to finishing as the only Pacers player with 20 or more points. The sixth-year forward also excelled on the glass and came up just one rebound shy of earning a double-double. He was one of several Indiana players to leave their mark on a game that the Pacers were comfortably in control of from start to finish.

The Pacers have made two changes to their starting lineup, one prompted by injury. Slawson will fill the void left by Kobe Brown, while Potter’s insertion into the lineup means that Jay Huff will come off the bench. Also, Walker is available after being a game-time decision.

Despite dealing with a hip injury, Walker will take the floor on Thursday to provide the Pacers with a combination of scoring and rebounding. The third-year forward has started over half of the 74 games he’s appeared in this season and should make another against the Nets. He’s averaging 11.5 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.

Brown, who exited Tuesday’s loss to the Timberwolves during the second quarter and did not return, will not play on Thursday. His absence means more playing time for Jalen Slawson, whose ceiling could be raised even higher if Jarace Walker can’t play. Walker is a game-time decision with a hip injury.

Thursday’s absence will mark the third straight for Sheppard, who’s served as a part-time starter in his third NBA season. While sidelined, Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson could continue to see a lot of minutes for a Pacers team that has been hurt by injuries this season.

Brown had to exit Tuesday’s loss to the Timberwolves at halftime, while Walker played 28 minutes in his first game after a four-game absence. Jalen Slawson would likely log heavy minutes if one or both cannot play against the Nets.

Walker was in the Pacers’ lineup on Tuesday after missing four games with a back injury, and he logged 28 minutes. The five turnovers weren’t good, but the rebounds, assists and steals helped offset them. How Walker goes about finishing this season will be critical regarding his outlook for next season. With the Pacers getting Tyrese Haliburton back and likely adding a lottery pick, the rotation will be far more crowded than it currently is. Walker’s finish may go a long way toward him carving out a role for himself when the Pacers return to full strength.

Toppin has scored in double figures in three straight and six of his last seven games. The playing time remains limited, with the Pacers forward logging 22 minutes on Tuesday, but he’s managed to provide value on most nights. Indiana’s rotation will look considerably different next season, but Toppin’s athleticism makes him someone capable of providing deep-league value in a reserve role.

Thompson’s 17 points led the way for the Pacers in Tuesday’s 124-104 defeat. As a player on a two-way deal, these late-season games are critical for Thompson as he looks to sew up his future. While there isn’t a need for fantasy managers to make plans for Thompson in 2026-27, he’ll have some value in active leagues for the Pacers’ final three games of this season.

Brown played 16 first-half minutes before being sidelined by a sore lower back. Jalen Slawson replaced Brown in the lineup to begin the third quarter. He should have more opportunities in the Pacers’ remaining games if Brown has to miss time.

Toppin continues to deal with a foot injury, but after being listed as probable his availability isn’t much of a surprise. The 28-year-old power forward had 21 points and eight rebounds in Sunday’s loss to the Cavaliers. Fantasy managers can expect Toppin to play 20-25 minutes against the Timberwolves on Tuesday.
