Jackson (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the 76ers.
Jackson will return to action for the parent club for the first time since Nov. 3 due to a right hamstring strain. The two-way player was able to play for the G League's Noblesville Boom on Thursday, posting 14 points, five assists and one rebound across 16 minutes. He'll likely serve as a depth piece behind Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell and isn't guaranteed to see significant burn.

Pacers' Kam Jones: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Jones (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers.

Pacers' Taelon Peter: Drops 24 points in G League
Rotowire
Peter logged 24 points (8-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 33 minutes Thursday during the G League Noblesville Bloom's 118-98 win over the Herd.
Peter was dominant in the victory, as his 24 points both led the team and served as a new season-high total for the 23-year-old. The two-way player has appeared in 15 games with the Pacers so far this season, and he should continue to split his time between the NBA and the G League.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Jackson (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers.
Jackson logged 14 points, one rebound and five assists in 16 minutes Thursday night for the Noblesville Boom, and he'll now meet the team in Philly with the hope of suiting up Friday. The team should have official word on his availability closer to tipoff.
Jackson (hamstring) will be available for Thursday's G League game against the Wisconsin Herd, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Jackson has been sidelined since Nov. 3 with a hamstring strain, but coach Rick Carlisle said he's ramping up well. Following Thursday's G League game, Jackson will then travel to Philadelphia for Friday's NBA game against the 76ers.

Rotowire
Mathews agreed to a standard NBA contract with the Pacers on Thursday, Tony East of Forbes.com reports Thursday.
Mathews' second 10-day contract was about to expire, so the Pacers will keep the veteran swingman on board as a permanent member of the 15-man active roster by waiving Jeremiah Robinson-Earl in a corresponding move. Across nine appearances with Indiana, Mathews has averaged 4.8 points and 1.0 three-pointers in 13.7 minutes per contest.

Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: Falling behind Huff at center
Rotowire
Jackson totaled zero points (0-2 FG), seven rebounds, two blocks and three steals in 17 minutes during Monday's 116-105 win over the Kings.
Jackson drew some preseason sleeper buzz following Myles Turner's offseason departure, but the former simply hasn't been able to gain much traction in 2025-26. Jay Huff appears to be taking over at center, leading the league with 2.5 blocks per game. As for Jackson, he has averaged an efficient 7.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 18.0 minutes per contest over his last six games (no starts), though Monday's scoreless outing was his first since the season opener.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Scores 12 off bench in win
Rotowire
Walker notched 12 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes during Monday's 116-105 victory over the Kings.
Walker's scoring outputs have been very inconsistent, and he has not shot the ball well at all this season, averaging 9.8 points on just 34.9 percent from the field and 31.3 percent from three. However, a multitude of injuries have prompted Walker to be a key player within Indiana's rotation, and he has responded well, leading the charge amongst the second unit.

Rotowire
Siakam chipped in 23 points (10-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 116-105 victory over the Kings.
Siakam has been on quite the scoring tear recently, averaging 26.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.8 threes on a 40.7 percent clip across 32.2 minutes in his last six appearances. While Indiana continues to deal with a slew of injuries, Siakam and other key contributors within the starting lineup like Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin are healthy and have prompted the team to string back-to-back wins.

Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin: Pops for 25 points in win
Rotowire
Mathurin supplied 25 points (7-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 116-105 victory over the Kings.
Mathurin has now hit multiple three-pointers in all but one appearance, averaging 21.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.2 blocks and 2.8 threes on a 43.0 percent clip across 32.8 minutes in 13 games this season. He figures to be a prominent feature amongst Indiana's offense and will continue to see heavy usage.

Pacers' Ethan Thompson: Impactful in first start
Rotowire
Thompson closed with six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes during Monday's 116-105 victory over the Kings.
Thompson moved into the starting lineup for the first time in his young career, logging at least 28 minutes for the second straight game. Although his numbers don't jump off the page, he certainly had an impact when it mattered most, securing a number of key offensive rebounds down the stretch. At this stage, there is no reason to prioritize him outside of deeper formats. However, he is worth monitoring everywhere, just in case his hustle translates into viable fantasy production.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Another four blocks Monday
Rotowire
Huff contributed eight points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 116-105 victory over Sacramento.
Huff continues to produce on the defensive end, adding another four blocks to his growing season total. In the last seven games, Huff has averaged 10.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers and 3.6 blocks in just 25.5 minutes per contests. He has started six consecutive games and appears to have established himself as the primary center in Indiana. If you were lucky enough to have added him after a slow start to the season, sit back and enjoy the ride.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Woeful in victory Monday
Rotowire
McConnell racked up four points (2-9 FG), one rebound and three assists over 16 minutes during Monday's 116-105 win over Sacramento.
McConnell scored fewer than five points for the third time in the past four games, continuing his recent slump. During that span, he has averaged just 6.0 points, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals, leaving him well outside the top 150 in standard formats. Given his fluctuating role and lack of upside, McConnell should really be viewed as nothing more than a streaming consideration for those needing assists and steals.
Nembhard tallied 28 points (10-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 116-105 win over the Kings.
Nembhard put together a strong performance across the board, leading the Pacers in points and assists. This marks the first time this year that he's reached double-digit assists, beating his previous season high of nine dimes Nov. 9 against Golden State. Nembhard has also been active on the defensive end of late, racking up five steals over his last two appearances.

Pacers' Garrison Mathews: Moving to bench
Rotowire
Mathews isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Kings.
The Pacers are going with Ethan Thompson in the starting backcourt alongside Andrew Nembhard. Mathews has averaged 4.7 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 13.0 minutes per night over seven games off the bench this season, minimizing what little fantasy appeal he may have had in the first unit.
