Jarace

Walker

After missing Indiana’s last two games for personal reasons, Siakam is on the injury report for Sunday due to left hamstring injury management. If he cannot play against Dallas, that would likely mean Jarace Walker remains in the starting lineup. Walker is worth streaming in that role, and he should have added fantasy value the rest of the season.

Nembhard was limited to 22 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Wizards. Due to the Pacers’ lack of depth at the point, Jarace Walker spent more time on the ball as the team’s primary playmaker. While he was responsible for five turnovers, Walker also recorded 21 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists. Regardless of what happens with Nembhard, Walker is a player who should be rostered in deep leagues.

While Andrew Nembhard (5/1/4 with one three-pointer) was available for Thursday’s game, he logged 22 minutes and wasn’t on the court down the stretch. Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle put the ball in Walker’s hands for longer stretches, and while he was responsible for five turnovers, the third-year forward recorded one of his best stat lines of the season. And with Pascal Siakam (personal) already ruled out for Friday’s rematch, Walker is worth rostering.

Siakam was already ruled out for Thursday’s game against the Wizards for personal reasons. The 31-year-old power forward is now set to miss the next two games, which are both against the Wizards. Jarace Walker will move into the starting lineup and is worth streaming in Siakam’s absence.

Siakam, who sat out the Pacers’ final game before the All-Star break with a hamstring injury, is away from the team for personal reasons. His absence on Thursday means that Jarace Walker will likely remain in the starting lineup. While efficiency can be an issue, Walker should be streamed when he starts.

Walker returned from a one-game absence due to an illness and was inserted into the starting unit with multiple starters sitting out. That led to his fourth 20-point outing of the season, which was enough for the Pacers to win their second straight game. Walker should continue to play a significant role down the stretch, and while there will likely be some inconsistency mixed in, he should have some big performances like this one.

Walker is back after sitting out Tuesday’s win over the Knicks with an illness. With Johnny Furphy (knee) done for the season, there’s a chance that Walker moves into the starting lineup. However, he’ll have solid fantasy value for the rest of the season even if he comes off the bench.

Walker is listed as questionable with an illness for Wednesday’s game against the Nets. With the Pacers dealing with a litany of other injuries, though, it seems like the 22-year-old forward should be available. With Pascal Siakam (hamstring) already ruled out, Walker could move into the starting lineup if he’s available.

Siakam headlines a lengthy injury report for the Pacers on Wednesday. After initially being listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, the 31-year-old power forward has been ruled out for the game against the Nets. Jarace Walker could move into the starting lineup for Siakam, though he’s still listed as questionable with an illness.

Walker’s absence will have an impact on the Pacers, as he has been a consistent performer recently. And with Johnny Furphy (knee) out for the season, there was a chance that Walker would have moved into the starting lineup. For Tuesday’s game, Ben Sheppard and Kobe Brown are two players who can absorb the minutes that would have gone to Walker.
