Tyrese Haliburton - Won't appear in season finaleHaliburton (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
ImpactHaliburton will miss a seventh straight game due to a right ankle sprain and should leave ample opportunities for T.J. McConnell (hip), Andrew Nembhard, George HIll and Bennedict Mathurin on Sunday. 2022-23 was a career year for Haliburton, notching career-highs in points (20.7), assists (10.4), field goal percentage (49.0) and free throw percentage (87.1).

Aaron Nesmith - Questionable for finaleNesmith is questionable for Sunday's action at New York due to a head contusion.
ImpactNesmith 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.

T.J. McConnell - Questionable for season finaleMcConnell is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks with right hip soreness.
ImpactMcConnell is one of six Pacers players to nab a questionable tag for the contest and could be in line for a massive workload if he's able to suit up. In his last 11 games, McConnell has averaged 13.5 points, 7.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 23.9 minutes. If he sits, George Hill and Gabe York would likely handle the brunt of the point guard work.

Isaiah Jackson - Adds questionable tag for finaleJackson is considered questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale due to a head contusion.
ImpactJackson neared a season high with 29 minutes in Friday's game versus the Pistons, but he may not have escaped the contest unscathed. It remains to be seen if he will don the uniform Sunday, and the team's other prominent big men, Myles Turner (ankle) and Jalen Smith (knee), are considered questionable as well, so there are plenty of factors to consider in terms of Jackson's fantasy value in the season finale.

Chris Duarte - Still out SundayDuarte (ankle) will not play in Sunday's game against the Knicks.
ImpactDuarte will sit out the Pacers' regular-season finale, marking his seventh consecutive absence due to left ankle soreness. Duarte's 2022-23 campaign was plagued by injuries, as the second-year guard appeared in just 46 games, averaging 7.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 19.5 minutes.

Jalen Smith - Questionable for finaleSmith (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Knicks.
ImpactSmith didn't participate in Friday's game versus the Pistons due to some knee soreness, though it's also possible he was getting some late-season rest on a Pacers squad that has been eliminated from the playoffs for a bit. Should he return to action in the finale, Smith could play a larger role than usual, depending on the status of other regulars in Indiana's rotation.
