Turner (ankle) will be sidelined for just the fourth time this season, which will allow Thomas Bryant to get his second start as a Pacer. In his previous start, Bryant had 22 points, eight rebounds, one assist, two steals and two 3-pointers in 28 minutes. He should be worth streaming in this game.
Nembhard returned to the Pacers' lineup after sitting out Wednesday's win over Detroit due to a thoracic spine sprain. He didn't appear to show any ill effects from the injury, starting and having a productive night in 30 minutes on the floor. Nembhard's return meant Ben Sheppard (6/5/4 with one 3-pointer) and T.J. McConnell (2/1/6) took hits to their respective values, with the latter only playing 11 minutes off the bench.
Mathurin (illness) and Nembhard (back) return to the Pacers' lineup after sitting out Wednesday's win over Detroit. As a result, Aaron Nesmith and Ben Sheppard head to the bench. Of those two, Nesmith has a better shot of preserving some of his fantasy value, although both will take a hit.
Initially considered questionable for Saturday's game, Mathurin and Nembhard participated in practice on Friday and have been cleared to play. Their returns mean Aaron Nesmith and Ben Sheppard will head to the bench, with the former having a better chance of retaining some fantasy value.
Nembhard did not play in Wednesday's win over Detroit but returned to practice on Friday. Ben Sheppard will return to the bench if Nembhard is available for Saturday's game. Sheppard has not done enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues, whether starting or coming off the bench.
