Huff supplied 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 26 minutes during Monday's 135-119 loss to the Cavaliers.
Huff has strung together three straight impressive performances since being elevated to the starting lineup, averaging 13.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 3.7 blocks and 3.0 threes on a blistering 52.9 percent clip in that span. Huff figures to hold on to the starting spot for the foreseeable future and has shown he is capable of elite rim protection and three-point shooting.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Strong two-way showing
Rotowire
Huff provided 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and four blocks across 25 minutes during Saturday's 103-101 victory over the Bulls.
Huff has started at center in the Pacers' last two games, and the results have been encouraging since he's racked up 26 points, 14 rebounds, four assists and eight blocks combined across both contests. His ability to protect the rim and produce on offense might allow him to keep the starting gig at this time, as he's been an upgrade -- both in fantasy and in real life -- over the other center options on the Pacers roster.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Serviceable effort in start
Rotowire
Huff racked up 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and four blocks over 22 minutes during Friday's 119-86 victory over Washington.
Huff moved back into the starting lineup, just the third time he has assumed that position all season. On the heels of some encouraging performances, Huff was rewarded and made the most of his opportunity. In three games over the past week, he has averaged 11.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers in 22.7 minutes per game. While the rotation could certainly change again, Huff is worth adding in standard fantasy leagues, at least for the time being.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Blocks three shots in loss
Rotowire
Huff accumulated 10 points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and three blocks over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 97-95 loss to the Raptors.
Huff blocked three shots Wednesday, bringing his total over the past 12 games to 29 blocks. Despite continuing to come off the bench, Huff has been able to put himself on the standard league radar, averaging 8.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.0 blocks in 24.1 minutes per game over the past three contests. He is worth a look if you are in need of some rim protection on your fantasy squad.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Puts up 11 in loss
Rotowire
Huff contributed 11 points (3-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 18 minutes during Monday's 122-117 loss to the Pistons.
Huff has been steady in his role as Indiana's backup center but has shown that he can step up when necessary, as he has played 18, 26 and 27 minutes respectively in his last three games, averaging 12.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.7 steals, 2.7 threes and a whopping 3.0 blocks in that span. While Isaiah Jackson is likely to retain the starting role, Huff's strong performances could earn him more minutes moving forward.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Shines with additional minutes
Rotowire
Huff ended Wednesday's 127-118 win over Charlotte with 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three blocks across 27 minutes.
This was easily the best performance of the season for Huff, who is in his first season with Indiana. The sharpshooting big man received the most playing time he's seen all season and let it fly from deep while on the court. As Obi Toppin recovers from injury, outings like this one could lead to more opportunities going forward for Huff.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Returning to bench
Rotowire
Huff won't start against the Jazz on Tuesday.
Huff got the start against the Warriors on Sunday since Pascal Siakam (rest) got a maintenance day. Huff responded by posting the first double-double of his career, tallying 12 points and 11 rebounds across 22 minutes. However, Siakam is back in the lineup Tuesday, so Huff will return to the bench.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Efficient output in loss Wednesday
Rotowire
Huff provided 16 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two blocks over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 112-103 loss to the Nets.
Huff drained four of his nine three-pointers Wednesday and scored at a pace of nearly one point per minute despite coming off the bench. This 16-point output could easily end up being an outlier for Huff, however, as he had scored 25 points combined over his first seven appearances this season (one start). Fantasy managers shouldn't overreact after one game, and Huff is better suited to remain on waivers until he shows he can put up these numbers on a semi-consistent basis.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Doesn't do much in spot start
Rotowire
Huff finished with five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt) over 16 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 loss to Minnesota.
With both Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) and Bennedict Mathurin (foot) unavailable for Sunday's game, the Pacers opted to go big and slid Pascal Siakam over to the three-spot with Huff and Isaiah Jackson starting in the frontcourt. However, Huff and Jackson combined to play 30 minutes, and neither was particularly impressive. Jackson finished with six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two turnovers and no other stats over 15 minutes.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Blocks three shots in preseason win
Rotowire
Huff produced eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 FT), three blocks, two rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes during Saturday's preseason win over Oklahoma City.
Huff came off the bench behind Isaiah Jackson, but he logged 17 minutes compared to Jackson's 12. The starting center spot remains wide open following the trade of Myles Turner to the Bucks. While Jackson appears as though he could have the inside track at this point, Huff certainly offers more versatility on the offensive end. Both are worth considering as late-round flyers in standard leagues.

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Sees floor in elimination game
Rotowire
Huff had one rebound, one assist and one block across six minutes during Saturday's 117-115 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Huff saw the floor in Saturday's elimination game loss after receiving two DNPs via a coach's decision in the club's last two outings. The big man appeared in two games during the first-round series, totaling eight points, three rebounds, three blocks and an assist across 18 minutes. Huff carved out a fairly inconsistent role off the bench in the 2024-25 campaign, finishing with averages of 6.9 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.9 blocks and 0.6 assists across 11.7 minutes per contest in 64 regular-season games (two starts).

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Muted role continues in win
Rotowire
Huff provided no counting stats across two minutes during Friday's 120-106 Play-In Game victory over the Mavericks.
Huff continues to play a very limited role for the Grizzlies despite the season-ending injury to Brandon Clarke. Outside of a 22-point performance in a blowout win over the Mavericks a week ago, Huff has barely touched the floor. He has appeared in 10 games over the past month, averaging 6.1 points in 10.1 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Fails to score in win
Rotowire
Huff accumulated zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt) over six minutes during Saturday's 109-103 win over Detroit.
Huff failed to score for the fifth straight game, two of which he failed to leave the bench. Despite a season-ending knee injury to Brandon Clarke, Huff has been unable to find a path to consistent minutes. In his past 12 games, Huff is averaging 6.1 points and 2.1 rebounds in 11.0 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Excels after Jackson's exit
Rotowire
Huff contributed 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one block across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 140-103 win over the Jazz.
Huff led a huge run in the third quarter after stepping in for Jaren Jackson. Huff posted 12 points, two rebounds and a block during the stanza and was a key factor in putting the game out of reach. He's buried on the depth chart, but the team's choice to use him immediately after Jackson's exit shows that he may have a leg up on Zach Edey in the rotation.

Huff made his second start of the season Monday due to the absences of Zach Edey (ankle) and Jaren Jackson (ankle). Huff made the most of the opportunity, but his fantasy upside will be tied to Edey's availability.

Over his last five outings, he has averaged 5.6 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Jay Huff: Probable for Monday
Rotowire
Huff is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Rockets due to left-knee soreness.
Huff's knee soreness seems to be a new ailment, but it likely won't be enough to keep him sidelined Monday.

He has averaged 5.6 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12.8 minutes over his last five appearances.
