Injured Myles Turner Remains Questionable For Monday Versus BucksIndiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) has been tagged as questionable again for the Monday night contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. Turner is still suffering from back spasms that have kept him out of the last three games. Since he's been sidelined, Isaiah Jackson has been the top streaming option with Jalen Smith seeing a lot of fluctuation in his minutes. Jackson will be the best bet for fantasy managers looking for frontcourt help until Turner comes back.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The big man will miss his third straight game due to back spasms. His absence will mean that Isaiah Jackson will slide into the starting five once again. Jackson is coming off a seven-block performance, so his defense alone makes him worth looking at in fantasy leagues. Also, Jalen Smith and Oshae Brissett should have bigger roles in the rotation with the Pacers banged up. Both players have some deep league appeal for Saturday's slate.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) has been tagged as questionable against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday with back spasms. The 26-year-old was unable to suit up for the team's last contest on Wednesday for the same reason. If he has to miss a second game, Jalen Smith will see an increase in usage with the starting lineup while Isaiah Jackson and Goga Bitadze should see more minutes off of the bench. The former would be the best streaming option but isn't as widely available as the latter two.

Injured Tyrese Haliburton Will Miss At Least Two WeeksIndiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (knee, elbow) will be re-evaluated in the next two weeks after being diagnosed with a left elbow sprain and mild left knee contusion. The 22-year-old was in the middle of his best season yet and has consistently been in the top 10 for category formats this year. He likely won't be rushed back after being re-evaluated unless he's 100 percent ready at that time, so the two-week timeline could just be a minimum since the Pacers weren't in the championship contention mindset. While he's out T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard will be solid streaming options.

Injured T.J. McConnell Available Against New YorkIndiana Pacers point guard T.J. McConnell (shoulder) is available to play Wednesday against the New York Knicks. McConnell picked up a shoulder injury over the weekend, but will not miss any games due to the ailment. McConnell should settle in to his normal bench role but may seen some extra run with Aaron Nesmith (illness) ruled out.

Injured Aaron Nesmith Downgraded To Out WednesdayIndiana Pacers guard Aaron Nesmith (illness) will sit Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Nesmith popped up on the injury report with a non-COVID illness before being ruled out Wednesday. T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard should see an immediate boost in playing time. Benedict Mathurin should also see a slight increase to his usage rate.

Indiana Pacers point guard T.J. McConnell (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Knicks. The 30-year-old playmaker hurt his right shoulder against Charlotte at the weekend and was limited to just nine minutes in the game. He has been able to practice despite the ailment, which is a good sign regarding his availability, but there's still a chance that he misses the game. McConnell has had a mediocre season so far, averaging 5.4 points and 4.2 assists in 17.0 minutes. The Pacers have started to look more and more at younger guys, and Tyrese Haliburton has started to run the backcourt alongside Andrew Nembhard. McConnell's absence would open up extra minutes for Nembhard, and Bennedict Mathurin could also benefit.

Injured Bennedict Mathurin Questionable Versus CharlotteIndiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (shoulder) is questionable against the visiting Charlotte Hornets. The rookie has played well this season, averaging 17.4 points in 40 games, with nearly all of his appearances coming from the bench. If Mathurin can play, he always warrants fantasy consideration. However, if the shoulder soreness keeps him out, Chris Duarte, who has averaged a miserable 6.5 points per game in 2022-23, could see more minutes.

Injured Jalen Smith Questionable Against The HornetsIndiana Pacers forward Jalen Smith (hand) is questionable ahead of Sunday's contest against the Hornets. He didn't play on Friday versus the Portland Trail Blazers because of hand soreness and didn't practice on Saturday, so things aren't looking favorable. Oshae Brissett, who had five points in 20 minutes in his previous appearance, should continue to see additional work if Smith can't suit up. However, Brissett won't offer much to fantasy managers, especially with Myles Turner, Tyrese Haliburton, and Buddy Hield doing most of the heavy lifting on the offensive end.

Injured Chris Duarte Will Play Against SixersIndiana Pacers guard/forward Chris Duarte (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Duarte tweaked his ankle and was experiencing some soreness, but will not miss any games due to the injury. Duarte should continue to split minutes with Benedict Mathurin off the bench. If Duarte is hobbled by the injury at all, Mathurin will likely be the biggest beneficiary.
