Impact With Myles Turner (knee) sidelined, Bryant made his eighth start of the season Friday and posted 10 points and four blocks in 20 minutes. It's unclear if Turner will play his usual minutes, so Bryant could still see an increased role Sunday even though he's coming off the bench.

Balanced outing in starting lineup Bryant supplied seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 22 minutes during Monday's 111-109 victory over the Kings.

Impact Bryant got the starting nod Monday due to the absence of Myles Turner (illness), contributing offensively and on the boards while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total in a balanced showing. Bryant has hauled in seven or more rebounds in 10 outings this season, paring that with seven or more points in eight of those appearances.

Impact Bryant played limited minutes again Saturday, continuing to struggle whenever Myles Turner is healthy. Although he has both hands on the backup job, Bryant's inability to consistently impact the game has resulted in him playing limited minutes, even for a backup. Over the past 17 games, he is averaging just 6.1 points and 3.6 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game.

Starting sans Turner Bryant will be in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Minnesota, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Bryant will have some streaming appeal in fantasy leagues amid the absence of Myles Turner (hip) on Monday. Across five outings as a starter this year, Bryant has averaged 14.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 0.8 steals in 27.2 minutes.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Modest showing off bench Bryant had seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one block across 16 minutes during Sunday's 127-112 victory over the Bulls.

Impact The veteran big man continues to operate as a strict reserve for the Pacers while starting center Myles Turner is healthy. Through his last six outings, Bryant has averaged 7.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.3 blocks in 13.9 minutes while shooting 53.1 percent from the field. As long as Turner and the rest of Indiana's frontcourt stays healthy, Bryant won't carry nearly as much streaming appeal in fantasy leagues.

Not starting Thursday Bryant won't start in Thursday's game against Memphis, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Myles Turner will return to the starting five on Thursday, pushing Bryant back to the bench. The big man started in three of the club's last six outings, and in that six-game span, Bryant averaged 11.0 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists across 25.2 minutes per contest.

Flirts with double-double in start Bryant put forth nine points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists over 27 minutes in Wednesday's 134-130 overtime win over Washington.

Impact With Jarace Walker (back) out, Bryant continued to see an expanded role in the starting lineup Wednesday and led all Pacers players in rebounds while finishing one point short of a double-double. Bryant set new season high in boards and assists, his second outing of the year in double figures in rebounds. He has recorded at least nine points and eight boards in four straight contests.

Productive outing in loss Bryant racked up 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one block across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 128-115 loss to the Knicks.

Impact It was a productive outing by Bryant, who continues to start at center for the Pacers while Myles Turner sits on the shelf with a neck injury. Through four games in Indiana's starting lineup this year, Bryant has been serviceable with averages of 15.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.5 blocks in 27.2 minutes while shooting 54.0 percent from the field. With Turner already ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Washington, Bryant will remain a solid streaming choice in fantasy leagues.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 40 points and 12 rebounds, and Josh Hart added 30 points and 10 rebounds to lead the New York Knicks past the Indiana Pacers 128-115

Solid showing in spot start Bryant closed Saturday's 124-117 loss to the Lakers with 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds and four assists in 23 minutes.

Impact Myles Turner (neck) missed his first game after getting injured Thursday, but Bryant didn't see a significant increase in his workload despite getting the start -- Obi Toppin played 22 minutes off the bench as the duo split the minutes in the paint. Bryant did lead the Pacers in rebounds on the afternoon, while the four assists tied his season high -- a mark he set in Indiana's last game, after Turner exited the court early in the first quarter. If Turner continues to be held out, Bryant should see a small bump in his numbers, but starter-level minutes and production will likely elude him.
