Jackson ended with 21 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight assists and three steals across 30 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to the Pistons.

Jackson ended his regular season with a bang as one of three Pacers to eclipse 20 points. Jackson made a total of 49 appearances in 2025-26, averaging 9.1 points, 2.9 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 0.9 three-pointers in 18.3 minutes per contest. He will not be guaranteed a role in 2026-27, with Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) set to return.

Brown recorded 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to the Pistons.

Brown ended the 2025-26 regular season on a high note for the injury-depleted Pacers. Following his midseason trade from the Clippers, Brown stepped into a large role for Indiana and thrived. Across 27 appearances, he averaged 9.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 three-pointers on 50.3 percent shooting from the field.

Castle contributed 10 points (3-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 128-118 loss to Denver.

Castle didn't have his best shooting performance in Sunday's regular-season finale, but the second-year guard still found a way to make an impact and finished just one assist away from posting a triple-double. Castle finishes the regular season with averages of 16.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game across 68 appearances (67 starts).

Toppin registered 21 points (7-12 FG, 7-11 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to the Pistons.

A midseason foot surgery was an unfortunate setback for Toppin, and the Pacers exercised caution with his minutes after his return. He ended up making a total of 24 appearances, posting averages of 11.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 17.7 minutes per contest. This season was basically a wash for Indiana, but the team could be poised to bounce back in 2026-27, which would benefit several key contributors.

Wilson recorded nine points (3-9 FG, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 136-101 loss to the Raptors.

Playing in his third season with the Nets, Wilson's production and minutes took a hit in 2025-26. Across 54 appearances, he averaged 15.9 minutes with 6.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 1.0 three-pointers on 39.6 percent shooting from the field.

Scott ended with eight points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 136-101 loss to the Raptors.

Scott saw solid run in the season finale with the majority of the roster sitting out. Scott was signed to a hardship deal to close out the regular season and will now become a free agent. He made six appearances and averaged 8.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 30.4 minutes per contest.

Powell registered eight points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal in 25 minutes during Sunday's 136-101 loss to the Raptors.

The rookie first-round pick had a mild effort to close out the regular season. Powell was used sparingly by the Nets, as he appeared in 63 games with averages of 6.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 20.9 minutes. He was never close to being a consistent fantasy producer.

Smith ended with eight points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds and six assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 136-101 loss to the Raptors.

Smith, who earned a two-year contract with the Nets after impressing on a couple of 10-day deals, was used quite heavily down the stretch due to injuries. He ended up with 15 regular-season appearances under his belt to go with averages of 8.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.3 three-pointers on 48.5 percent shooting from the field. He'll have some decent momentum heading into training camp in September.

Saraf amassed 15 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 26 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 136-101 loss to the Raptors.

Saraf's rookie season officially came to an end Sunday. He spent lots of time in the G League as well, but he amassed 44 regular-season appearances at the NBA level. He didn't have much fantasy appeal until the very end of the campaign, finishing with averages of 7.5 points, 3.3 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 0.9 steals on 39.6 percent shooting in 20.8 minutes per contest.

Horford amassed five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 19 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 loss to the Clippers.

Draymond Green (back) should be fine for Tuesday's rematch during the Play-In Tournament, and he will be an upgrade over Horford, who filled in for the feisty veteran. Horford's age is beginning to show, as the 39-year-old lacks the aggressiveness he's shown throughout his NBA career. The Warriors originally had grander plans for him, but the acquisition of Kristaps Porzingis and continued production from Green have limited Horford's production to a trickle.
