Bennedict Mathurin logged 15 points (4-of-10 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist, and three three-pointers in the win over the Bulls on Wednesday.Mathurin had another solid performance off the Indiana bench on Wednesday, reaching double figures in points for the second straight game and nearly logging enough rebounds to earn his first double-double since November. It's unlikely Mathurin will start games or log heavy minutes in the near future, but if he can stay consistent in his current role off the bench, there are nights in which he could be a tempting streaming option for those fantasy managers looking for a scoring boost.

Jarace Walker (foot) is questionable to play against the Bulls on Wednesday.Walker entered the starting lineup for Indiana's last game, but he isn't available against Chicago, Ben Sheppard or Bennedict Mathurin will likely fill the spot in the starting lineup. Mathurin would receive a nice boost, but Sheppard won't be worth streaming regardless.
Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) finished with 16 points, two rebounds, an assist, a steal and a pair of triples across 25 minutes in Monday's loss to the Hawks.Mathurin played his first game since January 2, and he came off the bench with a limited workload. Despite the reduced playing time, Mathurin's offensive impact was far from muted, as he hit 6-of-10 shots, including 2-of-3 from beyond the arc. He should see his playing time trend up moving forward, and fantasy managers in need of points and triples can safely deploy him.
