Bench role Friday Huff is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Thunder, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Huff will retreat to the bench in favor of Jarace Walker, giving the Pacers a smaller opening lineup. The big man has started 26 of 49 games this season and had been entrenched as a starter over the past six contests, averaging 11.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 blocks, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 20.8 minutes per game during that span. Even without a starting role, Huff should still see plenty of action off the bench.

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.

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.

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).
