Pacers' Jarace Walker: Efficient in loss to Portland
Rotowire
Walker ended Sunday's 131-111 loss to the Trail Blazers with 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 31 minutes.
The Pacers struggled massively on defense in this game, but Walker was efficient with his shot while scoring in double digits for a fifth consecutive contest. The third-year is having a career-best season in 2025-26, averaging 11.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.8 steals per game in 63 appearances (28 starts). The uptick in his scoring numbers has been noticeable, as Walker has scored in double digits in all but one of his last 19 contests dating back to Jan. 21. Per Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star, Walker twisted his ankle at the end of Sunday's game, and while it sounds minor, it's worth monitoring ahead of Tuesday's game in Sacramento.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Puts up 17 in loss Wednesday
Rotowire
Walker recorded 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 130-107 loss to the Clippers.
Walker is undoubtedly going through the most prominent stretch of his brief NBA career, and he's making the most of the expanded role. Walker, a first-round pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, has surpassed the 15-point line in three straight games and in five of the Pacers' seven games since the All-Star break. Over that seven-game stretch, Walker is averaging 15.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists per contest. He needs to improve on his efficiency, however, as he's shooting just 41.8 percent from the floor and 34.1 percent from deep in that stretch.

Rotowire
Walker produced 21 points (8-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 25 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 loss to the Grizzlies.
Walker scored a game-high 21 points Sunday, reaching the 20-point marker for the sixth time this year. The last-place Pacers look to be just about ready to embrace a youth movement to close out a losing season, which should keep Walker close to must-roster territory in most fantasy formats. The third-year forward has started seven consecutive contests, during which Walker has averaged 16.7 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 30.7 minutes per game.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Another productive showing
Rotowire
Walker logged 18 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 134-130 loss to Dallas.
The last-place Pacers continue to reel in the standings, but they're getting promising results from Walker when he gets the chance to start. Walker has started 10 games since the start of the new year, averaging 17.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 29.3 minutes per game during this stretch. With Ivica Zubac (ankle) and Aaron Nesmith (ankle) both likely out until March, Walker remains close to a must-roster fantasy player in most formats.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Career-high 14 boards in loss
Rotowire
Walker finished Thursday's 112-105 loss to the Wizards with 19 points (5-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 30 minutes.
Walker did not have the most efficient night from the field and committed five turnovers, but the third-year pro put together a strong stat line during Thursday's loss. He led the Pacers in points, rebounds and assists, and his 14 boards were a career high. Walker should continue to operate in an expanded role in the absence of Johnny Furphy, the latter of whom will miss the rest of the regular season due to a torn right ACL.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Paces Indiana in victory
Rotowire
Walker finished Wednesday's 115-110 win over the Nets with 23 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 32 minutes.
Walker returned to action Wednesday after missing the front end of this back-to-back set due to an illness. The third-year forward saw an increased role in the win, as the Pacers were without multiple key contributors. Walker racked up a game-high 23 points, reaching the 20-point threshold for the fifth time this season. The 22-year-old has logged 20-plus minutes in 13 straight appearances and should continue to see meaningful playing time while Indiana begins looking toward the future.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Walker (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Walker was a late addition to the injury report Tuesday and was ultimately sidelined for the Pacers' win over the Knicks. He still looks to be less than 100 percent heading into the second leg of the back-to-back, though he still has a chance to suit up for the second half of Indiana's back-to-back set. With multiple regular rotation members slated to rest against Brooklyn, Walker could see an increased workload if given the green light to suit up.

Rotowire
Walker closed Tuesday's 131-122 loss to the Jazz with 24 points (8-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and eight turnovers across 32 minutes.
After coming off the bench in Monday's loss to Houston, Walker drew the start Tuesday due to multiple key contributors being unavailable. The 22-year-old forward struggled mightily from three-point range, though he still tied the team-high mark in points while reaching the 20-point threshold for the fourth time this season, but the eight turnovers accounted for over half of the Pacers' total. Walker has scored in double figures in seven straight games and continues to see meaningful burn, logging at least 18 minutes in 13 consecutive contests.
Walker is starting Tuesday's game against Utah, per Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com.
With Pascal Siakam catching a breather, Walker is joining the first unit and should see considerable usage. Walker has averaged 15.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 steals in 26.9 minutes per tilt over his last five games as a starter.
