Bennedict Mathurin Questionable To Make Return On Monday
Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) has missed the last four games with an ankle injury and is now listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. As long as he can play, he'd get some extra minutes since Tyrese Haliburton (knee) is out for a few games. If he has to miss a fifth game, however, T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard would be strong streaming options for any team that needs a quick guard rental.

Bennedict Mathurin Questionable For Game 5
Bennedict Mathurin (abdomen) is questionable for Tuesday's postseason showdown with the Bucks. The 22-year-old averaged 12 points in the first three games of the series against Milwaukee. However, he suffered an abdominal contusion and wasn't available for Game 4 on Sunday. Although Mathurin hasn't been a reliable fantasy option for DFS managers, his absence should at least open the door for Jarace Walker to see more work, with the 2023 No. 8 overall pick coming off a 12-point, five-rebound effort.

Bennedict Mathurin Expected To Play In Game 1 Saturday
Bennedict Mathurin (calf) looks poised to return from a one-game absence on Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks, as the team has not included him on the injury report. Mathurin was unavailable last Sunday for Indiana's regular-season finale against the Cleveland Cavaliers, sitting out the action due to a left calf injury. Indiana will need all the firepower it can get to take down Giannis Antetokounmpo's crew, and Mathurin is expected to provide bench scoring in the matchup. The 22-year-old averaged 16.1 points during the regular season, but his output fell to 14.7 points after he was moved to the second unit following the All-Star break.

Bennedict Mathurin Questionable On Friday Against Jazz
Bennedict Mathurin (calf) appeared on the team's injury report for injury management on his calf and is considered questionable for the Friday night matchup with the Utah Jazz. He's missed the last three games as the Pacers seem to be playing it safe while they sit in the fourth seed of the Eastern Conference playoff race. If he's forced to miss another game, Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell should both get a little bump in minutes again. The former is still available in a wide range of leagues and averages 10.2 points, 5.0 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game this season.

Bennedict Mathurin Iffy For Wednesday
Bennedict Mathurin (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He is dealing with soreness in his left calf and has missed two games already. During Mathurin's absence, Aaron Nesmith and Ben Sheppard hold additional fantasy value, with Nesmith being the better fantasy target. On Monday against the Sacramento Kings, Nesmith received a significant boost in playing time and rewarded head coach Rick Carlisle's trust with a team-high 24 points. He also made contributions on the defensive end, blocking two shots and snagging one steal.
