Pacers' Jarace Walker: Nearly double-doubles
Walker finished Sunday's 119-104 win over New Orleans with eight points (3-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt), nine rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes.
Performances like these have been too few and far between for Walker. Through seven December outings, he's averaging just 6.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 20.6 minutes per contest.

Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Productive with 17 points
Nembhard closed with 17 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds and seven assists in 28 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 victory over New Orleans.
Nembhard scored a season-high 17 points and put together one of his best performances of the season. He's had some tough injury luck, but he's starting to find his stride with averages of 10.0 points, 4.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.7 three-pointers in six December outings.

Pacers' Obi Toppin: Season-best effort from long range
Toppin provided 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and three steals over 21 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 victory over the Pelicans.
The four made threes were a season high for Toppin, who continues to be a force from Indiana's second unit. The fifth-year forward has scored in double digits in seven straight games, averaging 15.4 points, 6.4 boards, 2.3 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.4 steals in 22.3 minutes a contest over that stretch while shooting 59.4 percent from the floor and 43.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Four rejections Sunday
Turner provided 14 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 win over the Pelicans.
The veteran center extended his streak of games with at least one block to 21 with another strong performance at the rim. Since missing a calf in mid-November with a minor calf issue, Turner is averaging 12.4 points, 7.2 boards, 2.4 blocks, 1.8 assists, 1.8 threes and 0.8 steals, and his 2.1 blocks per game on the season ranks him fourth in the NBA behind Victor Wembanyama, Walker Kessler and Brook Lopez.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Double-double in Sunday's win
Haliburton logged 21 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 victory over the Pelicans.
It's the 10th double-double of the season for Haliburton, including two straight and four in the last 10 games. The fifth-year point guard is also on track for the best season of his career from beyond the arc. Over that 10-game stretch, he averaged 22.1 points, 8.6 assists, 4.0 threes, 3.3 boards and 1.5 steals while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor and 41.2 percent from long range.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Leads charge in Sunday's win
Siakam finished with a game-high 22 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 victory over the Pelicans.
The veteran forward topped 20 points for the third time in the last four games, although he managed only nine points in the fourth. Siakam still hasn't returned to the level of production he enjoyed at his peak in Toronto due to lower usage, but he's begun to make up for it by being busier at the defensive end of the court. Over the last nine games, Siakam is averaging 18.8 points, 6.8 boards, 2.6 assists, 1.7 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks while shooting 50.4 percent from the floor.

Pacers' Thomas Bryant: Cleared for team debut
Bryant will be available to make his Pacers debut in Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Tony East of SI.com reports.
Though he was outside of Miami's rotation for much of the season before being traded to Indiana on Friday, Bryant has a clearer path to consistent playing time with the Pacers. With Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) and James Wiseman (Achilles) out for the season, Bryant will compete with undersized centers Obi Toppin and Enrique Freeman for minutes behind starter Myles Turner.

Pacers' Obi Toppin: Provides spark off bench in win
Toppin ended Friday's 121-107 victory over the 76ers with 20 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three steals in 31 minutes.
Toppin provided a spark off the bench in small-ball lineups for the Pacers against a 76ers team that lost Joel Embiid (nose) in the first half, recording a season-high three steals and falling just one point shy of his season-high mark of 21 points set back during a Nov. 15 loss to the Heat. Toppin has been on a heater since the calendar turned to December, averaging 15.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 22.6 minutes per game through his last six outings. The 26-year-old versatile forward is worth streaming in fantasy leagues while he's running hot from the second unit, but he would likely need an injury to a member of Indiana's frontcourt in order to gain more stable playing time.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Gets back on track Friday
Siakam racked up 23 points (9-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 121-107 win over the 76ers.
Following a season-low nine points in Sunday's defeat to the Hornets, Siakam wasted no time getting right back on track with a highly efficient 23 points to go with a full box score Friday. Siakam has been a model of consistency for the Pacers in 2024-25, averaging 19.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.4 three-pointers per game over his last 14 games. The 30-year-old star forward has hit double scoring figures in 25 of his 26 appearances this year, and while his usage may be down since being traded from the rebuilding Raptors to Indiana last season, Siakam is burying a career-high 42.2 percent of his three-point attempts on the campaign as a whole.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Rebounds with game-high 32 points
Haliburton ended with 32 points (12-23 FG, 7-15 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Friday's 121-107 win over the 76ers.
After scoring just nine points in Sunday's loss to Charlotte, Haliburton rebounded in a big way with a game-high 32 points and 11 assists Friday for his ninth double-double of the season. It's been a bumpy ride for Haliburton so far in 2024-25, but the star floor general is still averaging a strong 21.7 points, 8.5 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 4.1 three-pointers per game over his last 11 contests. Those numbers are relatively in line with the expectations of fantasy managers who spent a first-round pick on Haliburton in drafts this past fall, and the 24-year-old guard's assist-to-turnover ratio should remain among the league's elite going forward.

Pacers' Thomas Bryant: Shipped to Indiana
The Pacers acquired Bryant from the Heat on Friday in exchange for a future second-round pick swap, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Bryant had been an irregular part of Miami's rotation this season with Kevin Love and Kel'el Ware on hand to fill backup center minutes behind Bam Adebayo, but Bryant will help address a need in Indiana. The Pacers have already lost their top two backup options at center -- Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) and James Wiseman (Achilles) -- to season-ending injuries, so Bryant could have a clear path to serving as Myles Turner's primary understudy. His primary competition will come from Obi Toppin and Enrique Freeman, both of whom are undersized for the center spot and better suited for power forward.
