It’s great to be back in the swing of things in the NBA, RotoBallers. In these articles, I focus on the top plays, traditionally geared toward cash games.

Jarace Walker Ready To Face Bucks

Indiana Pacers power forward Jarace Walker (illness) will be good to go on Friday against Milwaukee.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Ben Sheppard (oblique) has been ruled out for Friday's clash against Milwaukee. He will sit out a third consecutive game due to an oblique injury. Before getting hurt, Sheppard saw at least 23 minutes of action in five straight games. Quenton Jackson has picked his minutes, producing a pair of mixed performances. […]

Obi Toppin Unavailable On Sunday

Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. Yikes, the injury list continues to grow for the Pacers early in the season.

T.J. McConnell Ruled Out Versus Charlotte

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell (illness) won't play in Friday's matchup with the Hornets. The veteran was listed as questionable. But an illness will keep him off the floor against Charlotte.

Aaron Nesmith Unavailable Friday Against Hornets

According to Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star, Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) will miss his third consecutive contest on Friday against Charlotte due to a sprained left ankle. Nesmith suffered the injury during the Pacers' loss to the Pelicans one week ago and has been wearing a walking boot since.
