Impact With multiple key contributors sidelined in the second leg of Indiana's back-to-back set, Walker got the starting nod for the first time since Dec. 1. While the 22-year-old forward struggled with efficiency in the blowout loss, he still finished as Indiana's leading scorer. Walker has scored in double figures in four of the Pacers' last five games, averaging 10.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 24.0 minutes per tilt during that span.

Impact The four steals were a season high for Walker, who just missed recording his first career double-double as he tied his season-best mark in boards. The third-year forward hadn't played at least 30 minutes in a game since Nov. 15, but he got extra run in a game the Pacers led by 27 points heading into the fourth quarter.

Scores 12 points in loss Walker recorded 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Monday's 126-119 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Walker scored double digits for just the second time in the past seven games, continuing what has been another underwhelming season. Despite the increase in playing time, Walker's overall production has seemingly plateaued, averaging 9.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in 24.1 minutes per game. At this stage, there is no reason to be rostering him outside of very deep leagues.

Inefficient 12 points off bench Walker ended Sunday's 108-89 loss to the Wizards with 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds and one block over 22 minutes.

Impact Walker had some enticing streaming appeal earlier this year, but a healthier Pacers team has led to a drop in his fantasy value. He's averaged 8.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 17.5 minutes per game across his last five contests, so Walker can likely be left on the waiver wire outside of deep leagues.

Impact Walker's scoring outputs have been very inconsistent and he has not shot the ball well at all this season, averaging 9.8 points on just 34.9 percent from the field and 31.3 percent from three. However, a multitude of injuries has prompted Walker to be a key player within Indiana's rotation and he has responded well, leading the charge amongst the second unit.

Nets 21 points on 10 shots Walker provided 21 points (8-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 122-117 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Walker seemingly couldn't miss in this one, opening the game with five straight makes, and he finished with a season-high in points. Walker can do this from time to time, but he was coming off five straight single-digit scoring performances and he's not going to convert 80 percent of his shots on most nights.
