With the fantasy basketball playoffs being right […]

2023 Fantasy Basketball Playoffs Schedule Analysis

NBA All-Star weekend has come to a close, which means two things. One, and maybe most obvious, we're in the "second half" of the 2022-23 NBA season. Two, and maybe more importantly for many of you, we're nearing the fantasy basketball playoffs. And with the fantasy basketball playoffs on the horizon, we also have the […]

T.J. McConnell Enters Starting Lineup Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell will move into the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Chicago Bulls. Andrew Nembhard is moving to the bench for McConnell despite not being injured. Nembhard has been underwhelming as a starter and the coaching staff must have decided a change was needed. McConnell offers solid fantasy upside due to his […]

Myles Turner Playing Wednesday, Daniel Theis Will Sit

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) is set to return from a two-game absence on Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. However, backup center Daniel Theis (thumb) has been ruled out with a thumb strain. Turner should resume his normal starting role on Wednesday while Isaiah Jackson should absorb Theis's minutes off the bench. Jackson could […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/15/23): NBA DFS Lineups

After a relatively quiet Tuesday night, we're right back to a massive 11-game ledger Wednesday. The ledger is loaded with attractive options all across the salary cap, which should make for a particularly fun night of lineup construction and tournament play in particular. That notion is further supported by the fact there are plenty of […]

Daniel Theis Questionable For Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Daniel Theis (thumb) is listed as questionable versus the Chicago Bulls Wednesday. Theis seemed to sprain his thumb during his spot start on Monday with Myles Turner (back) out and is in jeopardy of missing their next contest. With Turner also questionable to play Wednesday, the Pacers would likely turn to Isaiah […]

Myles Turner Questionable Against Bulls

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. Turner is dealing with some back soreness and could be rested for the team's final game before the All-Star break after missing Monday's contest. Daniel Theis would likely get the spot start if Turner is unable to go. […]

Tyrese Haliburton Leads All Scorers With 30 Points

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton had his highest-scoring game since Dec. 23 and bagged a double-double in Monday's 123-117 loss to Utah.

Tyrese Haliburton Cleared For Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (thigh) has been cleared to play in Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. The young guard is dealing with a left thigh contusion, but is feeling good enough to play on Monday. His presence means that T.J. McConnell will remain off the bench in his normal role. McConnell has been […]

Myles Turner Ruled Out For Monday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. The big man was considered questionable heading into this contest due to lower back soreness. His absence should free up additional playing time for Daniel Theis and Isaiah Jackson. Both players have surprisingly been producing lately, but Jackson […]

Myles Turner May Miss Monday's Game

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) is questionable ahead of Monday's meeting with Utah. He's dealing with lower back soreness, and with the All-Star break right around the corner, he may get a night off. If Turner doesn't suit up, Isaiah Jackson, who's averaged 10.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 3.4 blocks in five starts this […]

Tyrese Haliburton Listed As Questionable For Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (thigh) has been given the questionable tag for Monday's contest against the Utah Jazz due to a left thigh contusion. This is a different injury from the two issues that kept him out for most of January. In a battle of teams that have tried to tank but are doing […]

Jalen Smith Won't Return On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers forward Jalen Smith (illness) has been ruled out for the rest of Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. He didn't suit up at all during the first half due to a non-COVID related illness. It appears the Pacers are going to take the cautious approach and completely hold Smith out on Wednesday. His […]

Chris Duarte Will Play Versus Miami

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Chris Duarte (ankle) has been cleared to play against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Duarte was questionable to play with a sore ankle, but went through shootaround with no issues and will make his return after a two-game absence.

Myles Turner Very Productive In 24 Minutes Sunday
