Aaron Nesmith

Fantasy Impact

Nesmith continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with three or more rebounds and six or more points in each of his last five games. The 26-year-old remains one of the more steady options as part of an inconsistent Indiana lineup, averaging 13.3 points and 5.2 rebounds per game to go along with a 19.4% usage rate so far this season.

Aaron Nesmith has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Fantasy Impact

Nesmith will be sidelined for the second leg of the Indiana Pacers’ back-to-back on Saturday. With him and Pascal Siakam (rest) ruled out, the Pacers are expected to rely heavily on Johnny Furphy and Jarace Walker, while Micah Potter could also see an uptick in minutes.

Aaron Nesmith scored six points (1-12 FG, 0-8 3PT, 4-4 FT) and grabbed five rebounds in the Pacers' 115-101 loss to Toronto on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Nesmith's shooting woes hit a season-low on Wednesday as he made only 1-of-12 from the field and failed to knock down a triple for the first time this season. Since scoring 25 points against Orlando on January 4, Nesmith is averaging 10.8 points over his last five games while shooting 17-of-62 (27.4%) from the field and 9-of-33 (27.3%) from beyond the arc. Nesmith will try to snap out of his funk on Friday against the Clippers.

Aaron Nesmith scored 25 points (8-16 FG, 5-11 3P, 4-4 FT) with 8 rebounds, four assists, and two blocks in the Pacers' 135-127 loss to the Magic.

Fantasy Impact

Nesmith led the Pacers in made threes in what was arguably his most complete game this season. He's been a bit up and down so far this year, lacking a sense of consistency. But even so, he's a decent fantasy start.

Aaron Nesmith returned to the floor on Saturday after a six-week layoff, posting nine points (3-of-9 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, and two blocks in 19 minutes during a loss to Miami.

Fantasy Impact

Sidelined since mid-November with a left knee sprain, Nesmith immediately stepped back into the rotation for the rebuilding Pacers. While he is expected to handle a significant role moving forward, fantasy managers should anticipate a minutes restriction for the next few games as he ramps back up to full speed.
