Yahoo SportsAaron Nesmith makes go-ahead layup and game-saving block as Pacers rally past Bulls 113-110

Aaron Nesmith made a go-ahead reverse layup with 13.9 seconds left and blocked Coby White's attempt from close range with 2.9 seconds remaining, and the Indiana Pacers rallied from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Chicago Bulls 113-110 on Wednesday night. Pascal Siakam scored 20 points, Andrew Nembhard had 18, Jarace Walker added 16, Bennedict Mathurin had 15 and Nesmith finished with 14 for the NBA-worst Pacers, who improved to 3-0 against Chicago this season.

NBC SportsAndrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Johnny Furphy, Jarace Walker and Pascal Siakam will start against the Thunder on Friday.

Indiana will shift Siakam to the center spot and move Walker into the starting unit, which will push Jay Huff to the bench. Walker had a slow start to the year but has had some solid performances lately. Huff should still play a significant bench role.

NBC SportsAaron Nesmith recorded six points (1-of-12 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one blocked shot in Wednesday's loss to the Raptors.

Nesmith can be streaky as a shooter, and Wednesday was one of those "bad" nights. He missed all eight of his three-point attempts, and the production in other areas was limited outside of five rebounds. While Nesmith's status as a starter factors into his being rostered in 32 percent of Yahoo! leagues, fantasy managers who can't afford to wait for Nesmith to provide more consistent production may need to look elsewhere.

NBC SportsQuenton Jackson, Aaron Nesmith, Johnny Furphy, Pascal Siakam and Jay Huff will start Thursday's game against the Hornets.

The Pacers won't have Andrew Nembhard for Thursday's game, as he has been sidelined with lower back tightness. Jackson will fill the resulting void in the starting lineup, raising his ceiling. However, with T.J. McConnell off the bench, fantasy managers can leave Jackson on the waiver wire.
