Aaron Nesmith Upgraded To Available On Monday
Aaron Nesmith (wrist) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Monday night. He'll likely retain his usual role where he receives around 23 minutes and does a little bit of everything on both sides of the ball. Nesmith is more fantasy-relevant when it comes to deeper leagues, but he does have a prominent role in the rotation to garner some spot starts too.

Aaron Nesmith Probable For Tuesday's Action
Aaron Nesmith (back) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 25-year-old is carrying a lower back bruise, but this is not expected to keep him off the floor. Nesmith has had a highly successful series, averaging 13.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals. He has scored at least 14 points in three out of four games, primarily due to his impressive 52.4 percent success rate from three-point range. Nesmith has averaged 27.5 minutes a night, so there will be a considerable gap to fill in the rotation if he suffers a setback and can't play.

Aaron Nesmith Could Miss Friday's Action
Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is dealing with some ankle soreness and has been listed on the injury report as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Since his big injury stretch towards the beginning of the season, Nesmith has only missed one game since January 14. In their last game against the Charlotte Hornets, he registered 16 points, three rebounds, one assist, one steal, and shot 3-for-9 from deep. If he's unable to play, Obi Toppin could see some more minutes if Bennedict Mathurin (calf) gets ruled out as well.

Aaron Nesmith Unavailable Against Minnesota On Monday
Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 25-year-old will be out of action for the first game since January 14th due to an injured left ankle. Besides Nesmith, Tyrese Haliburton (back) and Myles Turner (hip) are also out. This means that available minutes will open up for Jarace Walker and Bennedict Mathurin. Both players may get the nod to start, but they are average fantasy options.

Aaron Nesmith Questionable Versus Minnesota
Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is questionable for Monday's meeting with the Timberwolves. The 25-year-old hasn't been a consistent fantasy producer this season. Still, he can play well at times, as evident by his 30-point effort on Saturday against Milwaukee. But if Nesmith misses his first game since January 14, Jarace Walker and Bennedict Mathurin may enter the starting lineup. Walker and Mathurin are shaky fantasy options. But their upside will increase if Tyrese Haliburton (back) and Myles Turner (hip) aren't available. Pascal Siakam (personal) has already been ruled out.
