Jarace Walker - Starting Saturday Walker will start Saturday versus Detroit.

Impact Quenton Jackson, Ben Sheppard, Johnny Furphy and Jay Huff will join Walker in the first unit for Saturday's game. In 12 starts this season, Walker has registered averages of 11.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.5 triples per contest.

Ben Sheppard - Joining starting five Sheppard will start Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Sheppard will run with the first unit Saturday as the Pacers have elected to rest a good majority of the usual starters. His last start dates back to Dec. 3 against the Nuggets, when he ended with 14 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 18 minutes.

Quenton Jackson - Starting Saturday Jackson will start against the Pistons on Saturday.

Impact The Pacers will be without several key contributors in the second leg of this back-to-back set, so Jackson will get the starting nod for the third time this month. Over eight starts so far this season, the two-way player has averaged 9.4 points, 3.5 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 21.8 minutes per tilt.

Isaiah Jackson - Available Saturday Jackson (concussion) is available for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Jackson missed Indiana's last 13 games due to a concussion, though he'll return to action in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The big man averaged 5.0 points and 6.1 rebounds across 15.1 minutes per tilt over nine outings in December, and he'll likely compete for playing time with Tony Bradley and Micah Potter behind Jay Huff.

Aaron Nesmith - Resting Saturday Nesmith (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Nesmith will take a seat for the second leg of the Pacers' back-to-back set Saturday, and he should be available for Monday's game against the 76ers. The Pacers will also be down fellow starters Pascal Siakam (rest) and Andrew Nembhard (back), so Ben Sheppard, Jarace Walker and Micah Potter should all take on expanded roles against Detroit.

Pascal Siakam - Sitting out Saturday Siakam (rest) is out for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Saturday is marking just the second absence of the season for the star forward. The expectation is that Siakam will be good to go for Monday's contest against the 76ers. With the Pacers missing several key players Saturday, Jarace Walker should see enough playing time to warrant streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues.

T.J. McConnell - Sitting Saturday McConnell won't play in Saturday's game against the Pistons due to left knee/elbow injury management.

Impact McConnell will take a seat for the second half of team's back-to-back along with a good majority of Indiana's key contributors. Look for Kam Jones, Quenton Jackson and Ethan Thompson to step up in the backcourt as a result.

9 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Andrew Nembhard - Not playing Saturday Nembhard (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Nembhard will be sidelined for Saturday's road tilt while managing a lower-back injury, and his next chance to play is Monday against the 76ers. The Pacers will also be without T.J. McConnell (elbow), so Kam Jones and Ben Sheppard figure to be the top candidates to enter Indiana's starting lineup.

Isaiah Jackson - Listed as questionable Jackson (concussion) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Jackson has cleared each step of the league's concussion protocol, and he has a chance to make his first appearance since Dec. 22. Tony Bradley's minutes as the backup center behind Jay Huff would likely take a hit if Jackson is given the green light to play Saturday.

Pascal Siakam - Scores 27 points vs. New Orleans Siakam posted 27 points (11-22 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block across 34 minutes during Friday's 127-119 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Siakam knocked down a team-high four triples and finished as Indiana's second-leading scorer in the win. The star forward reached the 20-point threshold for a second straight game and has now done so in all but one of his eight appearances in January. He's averaging 24.3 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 34.0 minutes per game so far this month.

Andrew Nembhard - Double-doubles in win Nembhard logged 19 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 assists and three rebounds in 33 minutes during Friday's 127-119 win over the Pelicans.

Impact After shooting 37.5 percent from the field across his previous two outings, Nembhard bounced back and finished as Indiana's third-leading scorer Friday. The 26-year-old point guard also dished out a game-high 10 assists en route to his third double-double in seven appearances this month. He has averaged 18.4 points, 8.9 assists and 3.6 rebounds over 32.6 minutes per tilt in January.

T.J. McConnell - Dishes out nine assists in win McConnell amassed eight points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine assists and two rebounds in 16 minutes during Friday's 127-119 win over the Pelicans.

Impact McConnell put up single-digit shot attempts for a third consecutive game but was efficient in his limited opportunities. The veteran point guard was impressive as a playmaker, finishing one assist shy of the game-high mark set by Andrew Nembhard. According to Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star, McConnell became just the second player in NBA history to record at least 3,000 career assists off the bench Friday and is now averaging 5.1 per game across 30 regular-season appearances. Lou Williams is the only other player to achieve that feat.

Jay Huff - Nets career-high 29 points in win Huff finished with 29 points (13-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 29 minutes during Friday's 127-119 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact This was quite the bounce-back performance for Huff, who was held to just seven points across 16 minutes his last time out, as he set a new career-high in points while only missing four shots. Over the past six games, Huff has been scoring 15.5 points per game on 67.2 percent shooting from the field and 100 percent at the stripe to go with 3.7 rebounds, 2.0 triples, 1.8 blocks and just 1.2 turnovers per contest.
