Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Probable for Sunday
Nesmith (hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Brooklyn.
Nesmith made his regular-season debut in Friday's loss to the Mavericks, ditching his questionable tag due to a left hamstring strain. He played limited minutes off the bench in his return and could be on a minutes restriction if he's cleared to play Sunday. If the 27-year-old wing remains limited or is ultimately ruled out, Jarace Walker and Kelly Oubre could see increased minutes.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Remains out Sunday
McConnell (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
McConnell has yet to make his season debut for the Pacers as he tries to work his way back from a hamstring strain. His next chance to make his season debut will be in the second leg of this back-to-back set Monday at Milwaukee.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Scores 23 points in blowout loss
Siakam supplied 23 points (8-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 29 minutes during Friday's 121-105 loss to the Mavericks.
Siakam again finished as Indiana's leading scorer, but he also had a game-high five turnovers and didn't deliver many peripheral stats in the blowout loss. Managers can anticipate a more robust stat line when the Pacers head to Brooklyn on Sunday to face the Nets.

Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Pulls down 11 rebounds in loss
Zubac amassed nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block over 24 minutes during Friday's 121-105 loss to Dallas.
Zubac was impressive on the offensive glass while pulling down four rebounds on that end, and it was his second straight game with double-digit boards. He also only got to the line twice, so the 1-for-2 mark at the stripe won't do your fantasy team much damage. Zubac will be a solid field-goal percentage booster and an elite source of rebounds this season.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Nets 18 points with full line
Haliburton recorded 18 points (8-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 121-105 loss to the Mavericks.
Haliburton struggled from distance, missing all four of his three-point attempts, and he wasn't alone, considering the Pacers went just 7-for-32 from beyond the arc. Indiana will look to get things back on track Sunday in Brooklyn.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Diagnosed with torn meniscus
Sheppard has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his left knee and is without a timetable for a return to game action, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Sheppard can be considered out indefinitely until the Pacers offer an update on his timeline to return. In the meantime, Jarace Walker and Quenton Jackson will likely see increased playing time.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Starting Friday
Walker will start Friday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Aaron Nesmith will come off the bench in his return from a hamstring injury, opening the door for Walker to enter the first unit. He logged 19 minutes in Wednesday's season-opening win over New Orleans, recording three points, six rebounds, two assists, one block and four turnovers while shooting 1-for-6 from the field.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Not starting Friday
Nesmith is not starting Friday against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Nesmith was deemed available earlier in the day, but he won't be inserted into the starting lineup right away, as the Pacers are taking a cautious approach with him. Jarace Walker will remain the starting small forward.

Pacers' Kelly Oubre: Not starting Friday
Oubre is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com
Jarace Walker will replace Oubre in the first unit for Friday's game. Oubre saw 28 minutes as a starter in the Pacers' season opener, but his playing time may be reduced to the lower 20s in the reserve role.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Good to go Friday
Nesmith (hamstring) will play in Friday's game against Dallas, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Nesmith will return to action after missing Wednesday's season-opening win over New Orleans with a hamstring injury. The 27-year-old swingman's return will likely send Kelly Oubre to the bench.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Out Friday, no timetable for return
Head coach Rick Carlisle said Friday that Sheppard is without a timetable to return due to a left meniscus injury, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Sheppard sustained the knee injury in Wednesday's season-opening win over New Orleans and can be considered week-to-week until the Pacers provide an update on his progress. Quenton Jackson and Jarace Walker are candidates for increased playing time with Sheppard on the sidelines.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Questionable for Friday
Sheppard (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
Sheppard is in jeopardy of missing Friday's contest due to left knee soreness. If he's ultimately ruled out, Quenton Jackson and Jarace Walker would likely see increased burn, especially if Aaron Nesmith (hamstring) remains sidelined.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Iffy for Friday
Nesmith (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
Nesmith has been dealing with a left hamstring strain that kept him out of Wednesday's season-opening win over New Orleans, though he could return Friday. If the 27-year-old swingman remains sidelined, Jarace Walker and Kelly Oubre would likely see an uptick in minutes.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Out with hamstring strain

Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Big double-double in opener
Zubac ended Wednesday's 123-120 victory over the Pelicans with 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds and two blocks across 34 minutes.
Zubac went toe-to-toe with New Orleans' Yves Missi down low, with both big men posting big double-doubles in the season opener. Now healthy following an injury-plagued 2025-26 campaign, Zubac should be a strong source of swats and boards to go with a high field-goal percentage going forward.

Pacers' Kelly Oubre: Full stat line in start
Oubre accumulated four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 123-120 win over New Orleans.
Oubre is occupying a starting role for the time being while Aaron Nesmith (hamstring) is sidelined. While he holds some short-term streaming appeal, Oubre is likely to move into a bench role once Nesmith is healthy.

Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Strong Opening Night showing
Nembhard posted 18 points (6-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 123-120 win over the Pelicans.
Despite the return of Tyrese Haliburton, Nembhard still maintained a significant on-ball role. Although his usage is set to take a dip with Haliburton back in the mix, it looks initially that Nembhard will at least be able to deliver late-round fantasy value this season.
