Coming off bench Friday Nesmith will not start Friday's game against the Wizards, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

Will start for Haliburton Nesmith will start Sunday's game at Portland.

Impact With both Tyrese Haliburton (groin) and T.J. McConnell (illness) out, the Pacers are down their top two point guards. As a result, Andrew Nembhard and Buddy Hield will start in the backcourt with Nesmith on the wing. In nine previous starts this season, Nesmith has averaged 8.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.4 made threes in 24.1 minutes.

Collects career-high four steals Nesmith notched eight points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and four steals across 18 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 139-119 loss to Utah.

Impact Nesmith has stepped up his defense lately, recording at least one steal in each of the past five games and averaging 1.8 steals during this stretch. That said, his low usage rate and poor efficiency make him nearly impossible to roster in fantasy, even in deep leagues.

Big scoring output Monday Nesmith contributed 16 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 116-115 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Nesmith has seen a slight uptick in his production since taking over a starting role over the last five games, racking up 8.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and a steal over 25.8 minutes per game. However, it's unclear if he will retain a starting role moving forward with Andrew Nembhard back in the mix. Monday's effort certainly aided his pitch to keep the job.

Plays 26 minutes in win Nesmith recorded 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3PT, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block across 26 minutes in Friday's 128-117 victory over the Nets.

Impact Nesmith has been starting at shooting guard in place of Andrew Nembhard (knee). Once the latter returns, he likely will return to a reserve role and see his workload decrease from what it has been the last three games.

Starting Monday Nesmith is starting Monday's contest against the Magic.

Impact Fresh off a season-best 19-point outing Saturday against the Magic, Nesmith will slide into Indiana's starting lineup in place of Andrew Nembhard on Monday. Nesmith has averaged 10.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks across 22.0 minutes throughout his first four starts of the year.

Impact Nesmith did nearly all of his damage in the second half with 13 points on 3-of-8 shooting from the field while also hitting all four of his free-throw attempts. The forward played a huge role off the bench with a season-high 19 points as Indiana barely managed to squeak by Orlando with a 114-113 victory. He played 25 minutes in the contest, his second-highest minutes total of the season and also knocked down a season-high five three-pointers.
