Nuggets beat the Pacers 114-102 in Mexico City behind Nikola Jokic's 19 points

Nikola Jokic scored 10 of his 19 points in the first quarter, leading the Denver Nuggets to a 114-102 victory over the Indiana Pacers in Mexico City

Pascal Siakam - Scores game-high 23 in Mexico City Game Siakam recorded 23 points (10-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 loss to Denver.

Impact Siakam led all players in scoring with an efficient shooting effort from the field, as he was one of four Pacers who finished with 10 or more points. Siakam has tallied 20-plus points in two consecutive outings, but his lack of defensive stats and a season-low two boards will leave fantasy managers wanting more. However, with Indiana's roster banged up, the 32-year-old should continue to operate as the focal point of the offense.

Tyrese Haliburton - Still without timetable to return Haliburton (hamstring) is progressing well but does not have a timetable to return, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Haliburton continues to recover from a left hamstring strain he picked up after Indiana's 110-102 loss to Milwaukee on Oct. 26. The Pacers star has missed the last five games, and his timetable to return is "uncertain", per head coach Rick Carlisle. Andrew Nembhard has been solid as the starting point guard with Haliburton sidelined, while Braden Smith and Quenton Jackson have provided extra depth in the backcourt. Indiana will get some reinforcements Saturday, however, as T.J. McConnell (hamstring) is expected to make his season debut in the NBA's Mexico City Game against the Nuggets.

Kelly Oubre Jr. - Available Saturday Oubre (calf) will be available for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Oubre's string of absences will end after two games now that he's recovered from a left calf contusion. His return could spell decreased opportunities for Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin.

T.J. McConnell - Will suit up Saturday McConnell (hamstring) is listed as available for Saturday's game against Denver.

Impact McConnell will make his 2026-27 debut after sitting out with a hamstring strain. He will likely see a limited workload in his first game of the season. However, McConnell's return will presumably result in fewer minutes for Quenton Jackson.

T.J. McConnell - Questionable for Saturday McConnell (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against Denver.

Impact McConnell has a chance to make his season debut Saturday. The veteran floor general is likely to have a minutes restriction if he's cleared to play, though less playing time would be available to Quenton Jackson.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Kelly Oubre Jr. - Iffy for Saturday Oubre (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against Denver.

Impact Oubre is trying to end a two-game absence Saturday due to a calf contusion. Less playing time would be open to Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin if Oubre is able to return.

Obi Toppin - Notches 11 points Toppin supplied 11 points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 107-103 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Toppin delivered efficient scoring in a reserve role, making half of his field-goal attempts and converting all four free throws. However, he committed three turnovers and didn't register a defensive statistic, limiting his overall fantasy contribution. With Pascal Siakam entrenched in the starting lineup and Indiana utilizing several frontcourt options, Toppin remains a situational option in deeper leagues.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Ivica Zubac - Held to one point Zubac produced one point (0-5 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 107-103 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Zubac endured a miserable offensive showing, missing all five of his field-goal attempts and finishing with a team-worst minus-22 rating. The veteran center also failed to record a steal or block, while Indiana found more success with its reserve frontcourt options. Despite his established rebounding upside, Zubac's limited playing time and lack of production made this a particularly disappointing fantasy outing in his return from injury.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Quenton Jackson - Provides balanced production off bench Jackson tallied 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 107-103 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Jackson made a meaningful impact in limited action, connecting on three three-pointers while collecting seven rebounds and two steals. His ability to contribute across multiple categories was encouraging, but his modest playing time remains a limitation for fantasy consistency. He might have some upside in deeper leagues, but he doesn't carry a ton of appeal in standard formats.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Nesmith - Hits clutch three-pointer in victory Nesmith registered 16 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), a rebound, two assists, three steals and a block across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 107-103 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Nesmith delivered the decisive three-pointer in the closing seconds, extending Indiana's lead after Memphis had pulled within one point. His four combined defensive stats significantly boosted his fantasy production despite modest rebounding and playmaking totals. Nesmith's established playing time and defensive contributions support his value in category formats, although his scoring consistency remains dependent on perimeter efficiency. He's been trending in the right direction, however, as he has scored in double figures in five of his last six appearances.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Pascal Siakam - Efficient 20-point effort Siakam posted 20 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 107-103 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Siakam delivered an efficient offensive performance while adding three combined defensive stats, helping Indiana snap its five-game losing streak. His 30-minute workload was slightly modest for a primary scoring option, but his balanced contributions supported another productive fantasy outing. Siakam remains a dependable source of points and rebounds, with defensive activity providing additional value.

Nembhard scores 22, Nesmith hits a late 3-pointer to lead Pacers past Grizzlies 107-103

Andrew Nembhard scored 22 points, and Aaron Nesmith added 16, including a crucial 3-pointer, as the Indiana Pacers beat the Memphis Grizzlies 107-103

NOVEMBER 5 • Associated Press

Andrew Nembhard - Paces Indiana in victory Nembhard notched 22 points (8-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 107-103 win over Memphis.

Impact Nembhard returned from a one-game absence due to a cervical strain and saw a full workload. The 26-year-old guard led the Pacers in scoring and tied for the team lead in assists. He's recorded at least 22 points and four assists in each of his last three appearances and should continue seeing increased usage in Tyrese Haliburton's (hamstring) stead.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Jay Huff - Not starting versus Memphis Huff is not listed in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Memphis.

Impact With Ivica Zubac (ankle) back on the floor, Huff will return to the bench after starting the last five games for the Pacers. While Huff is expected to see fewer minutes in a reserve role, he should remain heavily involved, especially if Zubac takes on a limited workload.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Jalen Slawson - Headed to bench Slawson will come off the bench in Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Pascal Siakam is back after resting Monday, so Slawson will head back to the second unit. As a reserve this season, Slawson is averaging 2.7 points and 3.0 rebounds per game.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Jarace Walker - Retreating to second unit Walker won't start Wednesday's game against Memphis.

Impact With Aaron Nesmith (hamstring) back in the lineup, Walker will slide to the second unit. Over six outings off the bench this season, he's averaged 7.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.8 steals across 22.8 minutes per contest.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Quenton Jackson - Headed to bench Jackson will come off the bench in Wednesday's game in Memphis.

Impact Jackson started in Monday's 108-104 loss to the Hawks with Andrew Nembhard (neck) taking a maintenance day, but Nembhard is back and starting Wednesday, so Jackson will return to a reserve role. As a member of the second unit this season, Jackson is averaging 8.7 points and 2.7 assists per game.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Obi Toppin - Available versus Memphis Toppin (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Toppin has missed the last three games due to a back injury, though he will return Wednesday against Memphis. As a result, Larry Nance will presumably see fewer minutes. Toppin is having a quality 2026-27 campaign, averaging a career-best 15.2 points and 5.2 rebounds along with 1.2 steals over 22.8 minutes per contest.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Kelly Oubre Jr. - Ruled out Wednesday Oubre (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Oubre missed Indiana's last game with a bruised left knee and will miss a second straight game due to a left calf contusion. His next chance to play will come Saturday against Denver. In the meantime, Quenton Jackson and Jarace Walker will likely see increased playing time.
