Happy Tuesday, Rotoballers! Most teams have eight or fewer games remaining on their 2022 regular-season schedule, and the tankathon seems well and truly on for the bottom of the standings teams.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 23: Obi Toppin, Josh Richardson, Payton Pritchard, Theo Maledon, Justin Anderson

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Isaiah Jackson Remains Out On Monday

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (headaches) won't play on Monday against the Hawks. The 20-year-old suffered a concussion over a week ago. However, he's now dealing with residual headaches, relegating him to only six minutes of work over the last five games. Goga Bitadze (foot) is questionable, so if he doesn't play either, Jalen Smith […]

Goga Bitadze Still Plagued By Foot Soreness

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of the upcoming meeting with Atlanta. The 22-year-old has battled right foot soreness for a while now, and his availability has been hit or miss as a result.

Chris Duarte Won't Play On Monday Evening

Indiana Pacers guard Chris Duarte (toe) won't play on Monday night against Atlanta. The rookie has missed his previous five games because of left big toe soreness. With Malcolm Brogdon (rest) also out, Buddy Hield and Tyrese Haliburton will likely continue to handle things offensively. Justin Anderson, who had 18 points off 6-for-10 shooting versus […]

Malcolm Brogdon Resting Versus The Hawks

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon will rest on Monday night against Atlanta. He's battled an Achilles issue for a good portion of the year, so it would be surprising if he returned this season. Chris Duarte (toe) is also out, so Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield should continue to benefit production-wise. However, Justin Anderson, who […]

Oshae Brissett (SF/PF, IND): Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm tired of this whole "Indiana never tanks" narrative. You tell me what the Pacers are doing if not tanking with their current 13th seed out East and putrid 25-49 record at press time on Saturday. Good for the Pacers, though, is […]

Malcolm Brogdon Returns To Injury Report

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors.

Isaiah Jackson Won't Play Saturday

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (headache) won't suit up for Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Jackson can't seem to catch a break as he only played seven minutes on Wednesday.

Goga Bitadze Will Play On Thursday

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (foot) is available for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He'll be available for the second game of the back-to-back set, which is great news for Indiana. Both Isaiah Jackson (head) and Jalen Smith (illness) have been ruled out for Thursday's game. That means, Bitadze should be a must-play in […]

Jalen Smith Won't Play Against Memphis

Indiana Pacers forward Jalen Smith (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He wasn't originally on the injury report, but is reportedly dealing with a non-COVID related illness. Isaiah Jackson (head) will join Smith on the sideline for Thursday's game.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (back) is expected to suit up for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He is dealing with lower back soreness, but will play in both games of the back-to-back set. Keifer Sykes and Lance Stephenson should lose value with Haliburton suiting up here. Fantasy managers in season long formats should […]

Jalen Smith In, Goga Bitadze Questionable On Thursday

Indiana Pacers center Jalen Smith (illness), who sat out with a non-COVID illness on Wednesday, is not on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Keep in mind that he also wasn't on Wednesday's injury report until about 90 minutes before tip-off, when the team suddenly ruled him out with an illness. […]

Tyrese Haliburton Questionable For Thursday

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

If Haliburton's sore back (or the greater tanking powers […]

Malcolm Brogdon Resting Again On Thursday

Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon (rest) will miss his third consecutive game on Thursday when the team matches up against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Jalen Smith Out With Illness Wednesday

Indiana Pacers power forward/center Jalen Smith (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday night's game against the Sacramento Kings.
