Brooks finished Wednesday's 130-113 win over the Pacers with four points (1-10 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one block in 22 minutes.

Brooks was ice cold from the field, connecting on just one of his 10 shot attempts. Despite playing upward of 30 minutes per night, Brooks is averaging just 11.6 points and 1.9 three-pointers. While he is penciled in as an elite wing defender, he is delivering 0.7 steals per contest, well below what might be considered serviceable.

Haliburton accumulated four points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, eight assists and one block over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 loss to the Rockets.

Haliburton was a non-factor in the loss, continuing his poor start to the season. Outside of a couple of encouraging performances, Haliburton has not looked himself, especially on the offensive end of the floor. Across 15 games, he is averaging 15.3 points per game, shooting a woeful 37.5 percent from the field. He will almost certainly be better than this, but given his struggles, perhaps it is reasonable to think his ceiling might not be as high as we thought coming into the season.

Brown had six points (3-4 FG) and four rebounds in seven minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 loss to the Rockets.

Brown came off the bench in his season debut, playing seven minutes. With Indiana having lost both James Wiseman and Isaiah Jackson to season-ending Achilles injuries, Brown should be able to pick up consistent minutes playing behind Myles Turner. Brown has the ability to be a strong per-minute producer and could step into a larger role should Turner miss any time over the course of the season.

Jackson amassed 24 points (10-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 loss to the Rockets.

Jackson moved into the starting lineup for the first time this season, going off for a season-high 24 points. The Pacers are without a number of regular guards, affording Jackson with a great opportunity. While he was able to capitalize, keep in mind he had scored a total of just 28 points in six games to begin the campaign. As a player who is not even a consistent part of the rotation, we would need to see a lot more of this before declaring him a reliable asset.

Caruso exited Wednesday's game against Portland with a right hip injury and did not return, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. He generated 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two assists, a rebound and two steals across 15 minutes before leaving.

Caruso missed three straight games with right hip soreness before returning to action Tuesday. However, he aggravated the injury late in the third quarter and missed all of the final period. Caruso's next chance to play will come Monday at Sacramento.

Robinson-Earl accumulated nine points (4-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 loss to the Cavaliers.

Robinson-Earl entered the starting lineup Wednesday after coming off the bench in the previous game, providing a boost on both ends of the floor while coming up one point short of the double-digit mark. Robinson-Earl, who ended second on the team in rebounds and steals, has recorded at least nine points and seven rebounds in three straight contests.

Reeves produced 34 points (14-25 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 loss to Cleveland.

Reeves led all players in Wednesday's contest on the offensive end, connecting on a team-best mark from three while concluding as the lone player in the contest with at least 30 points in a losing effort. Reeves set new career highs in threes made and points scored, and he has tallied at least two threes in two straight outings.

Payton posted 11 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and eight assists over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 loss to the Cavaliers.

Payton got the starting nod Wednesday after being signed by New Orleans earlier in the day, going on to hand out a team-high assist total while concluding as one of four Pelicans in double figures in scoring. Payton, who has floated between the G League and the NBA, received an NBA starting nod for the first time since March of 2022.

Niang amassed 20 points (6-14 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 win over the Pelicans.

Niang gave Cleveland a needed lift off the bench Wednesday, leading all Cavaliers in scoring while ending second on the team in threes made in a 20-point showcase. Niang posted new season-high marks in scoring and threes made, and he has tallied at least 10 points with three or more threes in four contests this year.

Tyson had 16 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 win over New Orleans.

Tyson got his first career start Wednesday, and he performed well across multiple categories for Cleveland while posting a double-double and putting forth the best performance of his young career in a winning effort. Tyson, who recorded team-high marks in assists and steals, set career-high marks in every statistical category.
