Nembhard (back/neck) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Nembhard returned from a one-game absence Thursday and was remarkably efficient, scoring 23 points on 6-for-7 shooting in just 17 minutes. However, he did not play in the second half of that contest, a move likely intended to preserve him for the second night of this back-to-back. While Indiana is deep in a tanking season, having lost 11 straight games, it's possible Nembhard sits Friday. If he is eventually ruled out, expect Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson (calf) to handle the bulk of the backcourt minutes.

Allen (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Raptors.

Allen is no longer on the injury report after missing Thursday's game against the Pacers for the front end of the back-to-back set. Allen can be penciled back into fantasy lineups and has been a solid source of points and three-pointers for fantasy managers.

McConnell (hamstring) is probable to play Friday against the Knicks.

McConnell is expected back in the rotation after sitting out the front leg of this back-to-back set. The veteran continues to be a modest source of assists and steals in category formats, as his limited workload dampens his fantasy upside.

Nesmith (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Nesmith sat out Thursday's loss to the Suns but is expected to return to action during the second night of Indiana's back-to-back set. He scored in single digits in three straight appearances following a multi-game absence before exploding for 29 points in Sacramento on Tuesday.

Toppin (foot) is probable for Friday's game against New York.

After missing the front end of this back-to-back set, Toppin is expected to suit up against his former team. He will have plenty of streaming appeal with Pascal Siakam (knee) expected to remain on the shelf, but Toppin's workload has been limited since returning to action at the end of February.

Zubac (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Zubac made his Pacers debut Thursday, posting eight points (4-6 FG), six rebounds and two assists across 16 minutes during the 123-108 loss to the Suns. That was his first appearance since Feb. 2, and the veteran big man will likely be limited for the remainder of the campaign. It's surprising to see him even have a shot to suit up for the second night of Indiana's back-to-back set, but Zubac hardly ever misses time, appearing in at least 68 games in six straight seasons before 2025-26.

Hart (knee) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Pacers.

Hart was downgraded to doubtful early Friday afternoon as he continues to manage persistent left knee soreness. He previously sat out Wednesday's win over the Jazz, and this latest update suggests he is likely headed for a second consecutive absence. The "glue guy" for the Knicks' rotation appears to be feeling the effects of a heavy workload, having played 36 minutes against the Clippers just before the knee flared up. Landry Shamet is expected to start again in Hart's presumed absence.

Siakam (knee) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Siakam is expected to miss a third straight contest as the Pacers continue to exercise caution. With this news, it's likely that Kobe Brown, Jarace Walker and Micah Potter continue to play extended roles for the Pacers.

Sochan (illness) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Pacers.

Sochan was previously labeled as questionable, but it appears that the Knicks will hold him out. Mohamed Diawara could play an expanded role for New York, with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and Josh Hart (knee) also not expected to suit up.

LeVert (wrist) is probable for Friday's game against Memphis.

LeVert is trending towards a return after three straight games on the shelf. The Pistons could be very shorthanded Friday, so LeVert would be a candidate for a slight uptick in minutes and usage.
