Pacers are suddenly facing a tricky Kobe Brown decision The Indiana Pacers may have a bit of a dilemma to answer regarding Kobe Brown, who they acquired ahead of this year's trade deadline.

MARCH 31 • 8POINTS9SECONDS.COM

Terrific outing off bench Brown finished Sunday's 135-118 victory over the Heat with 18 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes.

Impact Although Jalen Slawson started over him, Brown still played a significant role and had 33 minutes compared to 16 for Slawson. Brown has picked up some momentum as a deep-league streamer, posting averages of 9.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.7 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 22.2 minutes per contest.

Fills it up Friday Brown provided 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 27 minutes during Friday's 114-113 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Brown saw an elevated role, starting the second half after Jarace Walker was ruled out due to a concussion. Brown took advantage of the situation, chipping in across all major categories. If Walker is forced to miss time, Brown is all of a sudden on the radar as a potential streaming option.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Dropped from rotation Brown (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Monday's 128-126 win over the Magic.

Impact During Monday's contest, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle deviated from his recent approach and ran a more streamlined nine-man rotation while handing three of the team's established starters (Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith) 30-plus minutes apiece. As a result, Brown and Quenton Jackson were squeezed out of the rotation, but both should be able to reclaim roles before long. The 16-56 Pacers have little at stake beyond draft position over their final 10 games, which likely means that players like Siakam, Nembhard and Nesmith could be rested frequently and/or have their minutes pulled back. Brown had been a beneficiary of Indiana holding out key players for the past several weeks, as the third-year forward has averaged 8.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.3 assists in 23.7 minutes over his 18 appearances for the Pacers since coming over in a Feb. 5 trade with the Clippers.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Wednesday Brown isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Portland, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Brown had started in three of Indiana's past four games, but he'll take a seat Wednesday evening. Instead, Jalen Slawson will draw the start. Despite his reserve status, expect Brown to see plenty of run.

MARCH 18 • Associated Press

Back with first unit Tuesday Brown is starting Tuesday's game against New York.

Impact Brown will step into the starting lineup for the third time in four games as the Pacers continue to juggle injuries to Andrew Nembhard (calf) and Pascal Siakam (knee). Brown has yet to score in double figures in three starts this season but was effective on the glass in his last stint with the first unit Friday by securing seven rebounds.
