Moves back to bench Sykes will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Sykes contributed 16 points, four assists, one rebound and a steal across 34 minutes as a starter in Monday's loss to the Hawks, but he'll shift back to a reserve role on Wednesday as Terry Taylor joins the starting five. He's averaging 5.7 points, 2.0 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 18.4 minutes per game this season.

Set to start Sykes will start Monday's game against the Hawks, Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files reports.

Coming off bench Sykes will come off the bench Friday against the Cavaliers.

Impact As expected, Sykes heads to the bench as the Pacers debut a backcourt of Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield and Chris Duarte. Sykes will presumably occupy a much smaller role going forward, especially once Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) is healthy.

In starting five Sunday Sykes will start Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact The Pacers are already down Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles), but the team also agreed to trade Caris LeVert to the Cavs earlier Sunday, so Sykes will move into the lineup at one guard spot next to Chris Duarte. Both Sykes and Duane Washington could be set for increased roles going forward, particularly if Brogdon remains sidelined and the Pacers don't bring in another guard before the trade deadline. The only player Indiana landed in the LeVert deal is Ricky Rubio, who is out for the season due to a torn ACL.

Heads to bench Sykes isn't starting Monday's game against the Pelicans, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.

Impact Sykes will shift to a bench role after starting each of the last two games for the Pacers. Caris LeVert enters the starting five at point guard in his place while Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) continues his rehab.

Comes through in clutch Thursday Sykes chipped in 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes during Thursday's 121-117 overtime win over the Warriors.

Impact Sykes was pressed into a starting role with Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) and Caris LeVert (calf) both out of action. The rookie was relatively quiet in regulation, but he produced five points within the final two minutes of overtime to help the Pacers grab the upset victory. Both Brogdon and LeVert could return for Indiana's next game, so Sykes' late-game heroics shouldn't push him onto the fantasy radar.

Will come off bench Sykes will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Clippers, Mirjam Swanson of Southern California News Group reports.

Impact Sykes started Friday's loss against Phoenix but struggled through 18 minutes of action, finishing with just four points on 2-of-6 shooting. With Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) out again Monday, the Pacers will go with Caris LeVert at point guard while Duane Washington gets the nod at shooting guard. Sykes should still be involved off the bench, but his minutes could be limited.
