Questionable for finale Nesmith is questionable for Sunday's action at New York due to a head contusion.

Impact Nesmith joins five teammates as questionable for Sunday's finale, so fantasy managers should keep an eye on things leading up to the 1:00 PM ET tipoff. If we've seen the last of Nesmith, the third-year wing concludes the season averaging 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.9 minutes.

Returns to starting five Nesmith will start Friday's game against the Celtics, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Oshae Brissett got the start during Wednesday's win over the Raptors because coach Rick Carlisle wanted to start as many Canadians as possible. Now back in the United States, Carlisle will give Nesmith back his spot. Since the All-Star break, he's averaged 10.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 25.9 minutes.

Moves to bench Nesmith isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus Toronto, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Nesmith will be replaced by Oshae Brissett in the starting lineup Wednesday. Nesmith is averaging 7.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 19.3 minutes across his previous 12 appearances coming off the bench this season.

Back-to-back 20-point outings Nesmith contributed 25 points (9-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 141-121 loss to the 76ers.

Impact The third-year forward has now poured in over 20 points in back-to-back contests in the absence of Bennedict Mathurin (ankle). The Pacers currently sit three games back of the Hawks for the eighth seed in the East, and Nesmith will continue to be called upon to provide a spark on offense until Mathurin returns.

Sinks six triples in win Nesmith totaled 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt), five rebounds and one block in 31 minutes during Thursday's 139-123 win over the Bucks.

Impact Nesmith made a season-high six three-pointers en route to his fifth 20-plus-point game of the season. Andrew Nembhard and Buddy Hield also scored at least 20 points as the Pacers turned to unsuspecting places for offensive firepower with Tyrese Haliburton (knee), Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) and Chris Duarte (ankle) all sidelined. In the four games since returning from a two-game absence, Nesmith is averaging 13.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 steals-plus-blocks in 30.3 minutes with 49/42/70 shooting splits.

Solid numbers against Pistons Nesmith produced 15 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 117-97 loss to Detroit.

Impact With Myles Turner (back) sidelined, Nesmith took on a bigger role in the Pacers frontcourt and delivered his best scoring performance since he dropped 21 on the Bulls on Feb. 15. The third-year forward is averaging 30 minutes over the last three games while producing 10.3 points, 5.3 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.0 steals a night, but those numbers will likely drop once Turner returns.

Questionable against Houston Nesmith (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Rockets.

Impact Nesmith is questionable on a third straight initial injury report and has missed his last two, so it wouldn't be surprising if he sits again. If Nesmith's ultimately ruled out, his next chance to suit up will be Saturday's matchup with Detroit.

MARCH 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Monday Nesmith (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the 76ers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Nesmith will miss both halves of the Pacers' current back-to-back set. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday against Houston. Jordan Nwora drew his first start as a Pacer in Nesmith's absence Sunday and figures to draw another heavy role Monday.

Impact Nesmith hasn't missed a game since Jan. 14, and over these past 21 games, he's averaged 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 26.2 minutes. If the wing sits out Sunday, Jordan Nwora and Chris Duarte could see more action.

Finding touch from distance Nesmith posted 21 points (7-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 117-113 win over the Bulls.

Impact For the second game in a row, the Pacers' starting power forward drilled exactly four treys, and his inflated rebounding total, to go along with the production in the two defensive categories, helped him deliver one of his best fantasy outings of the season. Nesmith should have license to keep firing away from deep whenever he's on the court, but he still doesn't look to be the most bankable streaming option for three-pointers. Before connecting on eight triples over his past two outings, Nesmith had gone 2-for-16 on three-point tries across 108 minutes in the Pacers' preceding four contests.
