Eastern Central


Tyrese Haliburton scored 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-4 3PT, 2-3 FT) to go along with two rebounds, 13 assists, three steals and one block in the Pacers 157-115 win over the Hawks.

Fantasy Impact: Haliburton did a bit of everything in just 25 minutes of action in the blowout win over Indiana. They'll take on the Bucks in the first-round of the playoffs who Haliburton has posted some big games against this season.

Myles Turner scored 31 points (13-17 FG, 3-4 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with 12 rebounds and four blocks in the Pacers 157-115 win over the Hawks.

Fantasy Impact: It was a dominant performance for Turner despite him playing just 22 minutes. He'll look to keep it going in the playoffs against the Bucks in the opening round.

Pascal Siakam scored 28 points (13-18 FG, 1-2 3PT, 1-2 FT) to go along with six rebounds, one assist and one steal in the Pacers 157-115 win over the Hawks.

Fantasy Impact: Siakam played just 25 minutes in the blowout win for Indiana, but still scored an efficient 28 points. He'll look to keep it up in the playoffs beginning with a series against the Bucks.

T.J. McConnell scored 16 points with two rebounds, seven assists, and two steals in the Pacers' 129-120 loss to the Cavs on Friday.

Fantasy Impact: McConnell led the Pacers bench in scoring and has been a reliable contributor in the second unit for much of the season. He'll continue to be a key part of the rotation in the playoffs.

Aaron Nesmith has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Nesmith is looking to avoid missing a second straight game for the Pacers. If he does, Jarrace Walker would hold some streaming appeal in deeper leagues after scoring eight points and dishing seven assists over 29 minutes in Monday's win over the Clippers.

Andrew Nembhard filled the stat sheet for the Pacers Friday night, dishing out five assists, grabbing five rebounds, and chipping in 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3PT, 2-2 FT) in a 123-111 win over the Warriors.

Fantasy Impact: Nembhard continues a modest stretch on the offensive end of the floor of late, finishing with at least two assists and seven points in each of his last five games for the Pacers. The 24-year-old has flashed the ability to take over games at times for fantasy managers despite an inconsistent role for much of the season, averaging 9.1 points and 4.2 assists per game to go along with a usage rate of 16.6% so far this season.

Fantasy Impact: McDermott's ten-game absence will end on Wednesday. He's set to return from his calf injury, but it's unclear if he will have any restrictions on his workload. His return means less work for Jalen Smith and Obi Toppin moving forward.

Fantasy Impact: Carlisle added that Mathurin is expected to miss the next three, potentially four games. "We hope that it's relatively short term, but he will miss a week at least." Aaron Nesmith and Ben Sheppard should continue to take on more minutes in his absence.

Furkan Korkmaz is set to be waived by the Indiana Pacers. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Korkmaz was sent to Indiana as part of the package that Philadelphia put together to acquire Buddy Hield, but he's not going to last as a Pacer. The team is waiving him, and he will begin the process of finding a new team. It remains to be seen if there will be much interest for him, and he's not likely to carry much fantasy value even if he does find a landing spot.

Fantasy Impact: This is the second time Morris is on the move on Thursday after being traded from the 76ers to Pacers. He is expected to be bought out, so he'll be able to go where he wants but he'll likely remain off the fantasy radar.

Fantasy Impact: The 76ers are expected to be down Joel Embiid (meniscus) for potentially the rest of the regular season. They add to the back court here with Hield who was averaging 12 points in Indiana on 38 percent shooting from deep. He'll add some scoring whether he enters the starting lineup or comes off the bench in a sixth-man role for the 76ers.
