Sampson scored 20 points (9-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding three rebounds and an assist across 20 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Lakers. Sampson had scored in double digits just three times all season long, but two of those games have come in his last two appearances. He's making the most of the uptick in playing time due to the injuries affecting the Pacers' roster. Sampson is not expected to be a major fantasy asset when some regulars return to action, though, so expecting double-digit scoring performances from him might not be a realistic expectation going forward.

Sampson scored 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 FT, 0-2 3Pt) and grabbed five rebounds in 19 minutes during Thursday's 142-133 loss to the Bucks. In his first extended action since missing six games due to a concussion, Sampson made six of his eight field-goal attempts inside the arc on his way to 14 points (most since April 7). The Pacers were without Caris LeVert (knee) and Aaron Holiday (toe), which allowed Sampson to get some extra run. Before his concussion, Sampson started four games and played in 20-plus minutes in each of those contests. If he continues to produce the way he did Thursday, he may be in line for a bigger role in the play-in games.

Sampson (concussion) is available Tuesday against the 76ers. The 28-year-old was considered questionable and will retake the court after missing the past six games with a concussion. Sampson started the four games prior to the concussion and averaged 7.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in 22.8 minutes.

Sampson (concussion) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia. Sampson has missed the last six games due to a concussion, but he still has a chance to return Tuesday. If he's available, he could take on a slightly larger workload than normal with several rotation players out with injuries.
-
Sampson (concussion) is listed as out for Monday's game at Cleveland. A concussion will keep Sampson out for the sixth straight game, and with the Pacers entering a back-to-back, he'll probably remain out Tuesday against Philadelphia, as well.
