1 week agoAccording to Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star, Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said that guard
Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) is available for Monday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Mathurin is playing after carrying a questionable tag earlier due to a sprained left ankle. The 22-year-old has received a few starts recently but has shifted back to a bench role with
Andrew Nembhard and
Aaron Nesmith back in the lineup. He's registered at least 20 points in three of his last four outings, and he could make an impact for fantasy managers during tonight's matchup.

Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) is in danger of missing the first game of the week against the Minnesota Timberwolves with an ankle sprain. Over the last nine games, Mathurin has averaged 16.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.8 threes per game while shooting 43.4% from the floor and a red-hot 47.1% from deep. He even received a few starts in that span but shifted back to a bench role with
Andrew Nembhard and
Aaron Nesmith back in the lineup. If he can't suit up Monday, look for
Obi Toppin,
T.J. McConnell, and
Ben Sheppard to get some extra minutes off of the bench.

Bennedict Mathurin (wrist) is set to return to the court for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Mathurin is back in action after missing each of the last four games due to a wrist injury. Head coach Rick Carlisle said he wasn't sure if Mathurin would be limited during his first game back. The Pacers could certainly use the help with
Tyrese Haliburton (hip) heading to the sideline for the second straight game. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can get Mathurin active, but he's a risky DFS choice.

Bennedict Mathurin (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Mathurin has missed the last four games due to a left wrist sprain. His possible absence could be bad news for the Pacers with
Tyrese Haliburton (hip) also listed as questionable for this game. The continued absence of Mathurin should mean increased run for
Aaron Nesmith (hip) and
Obi Toppin in the rotation. Nesmith has been playing starters minutes recently and is the much better streaming choice between the two players for Saturday's slate.
