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.

Matches season-high 20 points Huff posted 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 98-96 victory over the Celtics.

Impact Huff matched his season-high, scoring 20 points for the second time in the past four games. Despite his role continuing to change, seemingly on a nightly basis, Huff has been moderately productive over the past week. In four games during that time, he has averaged 10.1 points, 1.6 three-pointers and 2.1 combined steals and blocks. Managers should view him as a stream-level player, at best.

Back in starting lineup Huff is starting Monday's game against the Celtics, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Not starting Saturday Huff is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Heat, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Huff has been a regular starter for the Pacers of late and has been part of the first unit in all but two of the Pacers' last 20 games, but that won't be the case Saturday. Huff should still see sizable minutes as a rim protector. He's averaging 6.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.0 blocks across 16.7 minutes per game in 18 outings off the bench this season.

Swats three shots vs. Hornets Huff totaled 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds and three blocks in 24 minutes during Thursday's 114-112 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Huff has started the past two games after Micah Potter temporarily filled that spot in the first two games of the new year. The 28-year-old big man was perfect from the field on four attempts and added three blocks on the defensive end. Huff now leads the league with eight games this season of at least three blocks and two triples.

Drops 20 points in start Huff finished Tuesday's 120-116 loss to Cleveland with 20 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 31 minutes.

Impact Huff ceded his spot in the starting lineup to Micah Potter in the two games prior to Tuesday's contest, but the two big men swapped spots against Cleveland. Huff made the most of the change, tying a season high in points while finishing as the Pacers' second-leading scorer behind Pascal Siakam (22 points). Huff also tied a season high with four triples, and he'll look to carry that momentum into Thursday's game against a Hornets team that will be without Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow).

Impact Micah Potter will enter the starting lineup Friday, pushing Huff to the second unit. Over 16 appearances off the bench so far this season, the 28-year-old center has averaged 6.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in 16.4 minutes per tilt.

Will play Monday Huff (ankle) will play Monday against the Rockets.

Impact Huff was previously listed as questionable, but he's yet to miss a game this season and will play through the issue Monday. The center holds averages of 8.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 blocks over his last five outings.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tending to ankle sprain Huff is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Houston due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Huff is at risk of missing his first game of the season, as the big man is battling a sprained ankle. He's started 14 consecutive games for the Pacers, averaging 9.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 2.9 blocks across 23.6 minutes during that stretch. With backup center Isaiah Jackson (concussion) out, Indiana would likely turn to Micah Potter and Tony Bradley if Huff doesn't play.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Modest production continues Huff chipped in nine points (3-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 21 minutes during Friday's 140-122 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Huff blocked another two shots, although he failed to provide anything else of note. Despite continuing to start, Huff has now played fewer than 22 minutes in four of the past five games. Other than his block numbers, Huff simply isn't doing enough in other areas to be considered a must-roster player. He has been outside the top 150 in his past four games, averaging 7.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 22.2 minutes per contest.

Limited to nine points Saturday Huff closed with nine points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 21 minutes during Saturday's 128-109 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Huff didn't have his best performance in this contest, though to be fair, the Pacers' frontcourt struggled mightily all game, except for Pascal Siakam (22 points, 6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-11 FT). Huff has been making his presence felt on defense, though, as he's recorded multiple blocks in each of his last 14 regular-season appearances.
