NBC SportsAaron Nesmith (right ankle sprain) is out for Monday's game against Dallas.

Injured during Friday's loss to the Pelicans, Nesmith will miss at least one game. Jarace Walker started the second half on Friday, which could mean he's the first choice to fill the void from the opening tip. He's worth streaming in this spot, even with all 30 teams playing on Monday. Ben Sheppard should also play additional rotation minutes.

NBC SportsAaron Nesmith (right ankle sprain) is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Nesmith injured his ankle during the second quarter of Friday's game and left with just over nine minutes remaining. Should he not return, more minutes would become available to Ben Sheppard or Jarace Walker. Whether or not either has streaming value moving forward would depend on the availability of Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard (ankle), who is not playing on Friday.

NBC SportsBen Sheppard shot 7-of-12 from the field in Friday's loss to New Orleans, tallying 20 points, three rebounds, one assist, and six 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

Sheppard wasn't Rick Carlisle's choice to start the third quarter for the injured Aaron Nesmith; Jarace Walker was. However, Sheppard gave the Pacers quality minutes off the bench, knocking down six 3-pointers and scoring 20 points. As for Walker, he finished with five points, two rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 14 minutes. If Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard remain sidelined, Sheppard would be worth a look in deep leagues due to the 3-point production.
