Leaves with sore knee Lamb is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Knicks due to left knee soreness.
Impact The 28-year-old had eight points (3-8 FG), 2-4 3Pt), one assist, one steal and one block in 12 minutes before the injury was announced during the second half. Lamb should be considered questionable for Monday's matchup with the Sixers, assuming he's unable to return during the closing stages of Saturday's contest.

Starting for Brogdon McConnell will start at point guard for Saturday's game against the Knicks, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Impact With Malcolm Brogdon out with right knee soreness, McConnell will be the primary ball handler for the Pacers on Saturday. It's only his second start of the season, but he should see plenty of run as long as Brogdon remains out. He's averaging 5.9 points, 6.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds across 24.1 minutes per game this season.

Out vs. Knicks Brogdon (knee) is out Saturday against the Knicks.
Impact Brogdon will miss his first game of the season Saturday due to right knee soreness. In his absence, T.J. McConnell and Aaron Holiday should see more touches.

Questionable with sore knee Brogdon is questionable for Saturday's game against the Knicks due to a sore right knee.
Impact Brogdon hasn't missed a game all season, but that could change Saturday. If he's forced to sit out, more usage would be in store for the likes of T.J. McConnell, Aaron Holiday, Jeremy Lamb and possibly Edmond Sumner.

Available Saturday Sampson (COVID-19 protocols) is listed as available for Saturday's game against the Knicks.
Impact This comes as a surprise since coach Nate Bjorkgren said after Friday's loss to the Celtics that Sampson isn't traveling with the team. Things have apparently changed, and Sampson will be with the Pacers in New York. Still, he's not a regular part of the rotation, so his presence likely won't affect things much.

Produces full line Friday Holiday finished with 19 points (6-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes Friday in the Pacers' 118-112 loss to the Celtics...
Impact With Malcolm Brogdon enduring a brutal shooting night, Holiday stepped up to finish as the Pacers' No. 2 scorer behind Domantas Sabonis (24 points). Holiday's 19 points were three off his season-high mark, but he shouldn't be expected to score at this level while he maintains a modest 13.1 percent usage rate for the season. That said, Holiday consistently chips in in the three-pointers and steals categories and continues to see elevated playing time, so he should remain worthy of a roster spot in 12-team leagues until the Pacers get injured forwards Caris LeVert (kidney) and T.J. Warren (foot) back in the lineup at some point after the All-Star break.

Impact Sampson was ruled out ahead of Friday's game after entering the league's health and safety protocol, and he looks safe to rule out for the second half of the Pacers' back-to-back set Saturday against the Knicks in New York. After Saturday, the Pacers will conclude their road trip with games Monday in Philadelphia and Wednesday in Cleveland, so Sampson could have a shot at rejoining the team ahead of either of those contests. The 27-year-old hasn't been a consistent member of Bjorkgren's rotation this season, so his absence won't have any major fantasy implications.

Could return in March LeVert (left kidney carcinoma) is expected to be ready to make his Pacers debut at some point in March after the All-Star break, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Impact Since being acquired from the Nets in a four-team trade in January, LeVert has been unable to take the court for his new squad after a small cancerous mass was detected on his left kidney during a physical. LeVert has since had successful surgery to remove the mass, and he looks poised to increase his activities in the next couple weeks as he gears up for a return. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, LeVert is "moving closer to returning to full-contact participation in practice," leaving the Pacers hopeful that he'll be able to play "some time after the beginning of the second half." The Pacers will wrap up their first-half schedule March 4 against the Nuggets before beginning their post-break slate March 12 versus the Lakers, so expect another update on LeVert to come at some point between that window.

'Months away' from return Warren (foot) remains confined to a walking boot and is believed to be "months away" from making his return to game action, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Impact The Pacers have been listing Warren as out indefinitely since he underwent surgery in early January to address a stress fracture in his left foot. Fantasy managers who had been holding Warren with the hope that he could be ready to play soon after the All-Star break may have to scale back their expectations, as Agness' report suggests that the 27-year-old likely won't be available until April, if not later in the regular season or playoffs. Even when he gets the green light to play again, Warren will likely be subject to a minutes restriction, and he could be held out of one half of back-to-back sets.

Well-rounded line in 16 minutes Sumner supplied six points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist across 16 minutes Friday in a 118-112 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Sumner's stat line was largely unimpressive but is his best since he last started on Jan. 20. Since then, Sumner has been pushed out of a Pacers rotation utilizing other depth pieces. He owns 23 points across their past 17 games despite sitting out seven of them. Sumner seemed in line for a potential value boost following the Victor Oladipo trade but remains an inadequate option for fantasy managers.

Fails to hit from deep Lamb logged seven points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two assists, one rebound, one block and one steal across 19 minutes Friday in a 118-112 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Lamb marked his first performance since Feb. 3 in which he failed to score at least one trey. He is now averaging 11.7 points and 23.0 bench minutes over the Pacers' past six games. Lamb seemed in line to be their sixth man, but fellow backup T.J. McConnell has averaged more playing time (30.8 minutes) across that six-game span.

Double-doubles against Celtics Turner tallied 17 points (4-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal Friday in a 118-112 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Indiana could have utilized better shot efficiency from Turner, who scored 13 first-quarter points before shooting 11.1 percent over the other three quarters. On the plus side, he now owns six double-doubles (in 29 games) and is on pace to surpass his nine allotted across 62 games from last season.
