Pacers' Braden Smith: Dishes out five assists
Smith finished with five points (2-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists and two rebounds over 16 minutes in Tuesday's 114-112 preseason loss to Oklahoma City.
Smith appears to be a long shot to start the season with the Pacers. The expectation, however, is that the two-way player will be an integral component of the G League's Noblesville Boom.

Pacers' Rienk Mast: Competing for roster spot
Mast finished with nine points (3-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and seven rebounds across 20 minutes in Tuesday's 114-112 preseason loss to Oklahoma City.
An undrafted rookie, Mast is trying his mettle at Pacers camp this fall. Assuming he's eventually waived from his Exhibit 10 contract, Mast should continue his development with the G League's Noblesville Boom in 2026-27.

Pacers' Kobe Brown: Logs 30 minutes in loss
Brown finished with 10 points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes in Tuesday's 114-112 preseason overtime loss to Oklahoma City.
Brown received an extended opportunity off Indiana's bench, making half of his field-goal attempts while contributing on the glass. His 30 minutes were among the highest totals on the team, giving the Pacers a longer look at the forward as he competes for a role in a crowded frontcourt.

Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Plays well on defense
Slawson went scoreless (0-5 FG, 0-5 3Pt) but collected five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 114-112 overtime loss to Oklahoma City.
Slawson logged more minutes than any other Indiana player, giving the coaching staff an extended look at his versatility. Although his perimeter jumper deserted him, he remained active defensively and contributed as a passer. The uneven outing followed a more productive offensive showing against Atlanta, underscoring the consistency he'll need to establish to earn regular minutes.

Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Cleans up on glass
Zubac registered 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and three steals across 18 minutes in Tuesday's 114-112 overtime loss to Oklahoma City.
Zubac wasted little time making his presence felt, pulling down five offensive rebounds and recording a double-double despite playing fewer than 20 minutes. The veteran center also flashed his passing ability with five assists and disrupted Oklahoma City's offense with three steals. His work around the basket was particularly sharp, as he converted six of seven field-goal attempts.

Pacers' Kelly Oubre: Records 12 points in start
Oubre finished with 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes in Tuesday's 114-112 preseason loss to Oklahoma City.
With Aaron Nesmith (rest), Andrew Nembhard (rest) and T.J. McConnell (undisclosed) all sidelined, Oubre drew the start and helped fill the scoring void. The veteran wing has now reached double figures in consecutive preseason appearances, giving Indiana another perimeter option as it sorts through its backcourt and wing rotation.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Plays well against Thunder
Haliburton recorded 24 points (9-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 18 minutes in Tuesday's 114-112 preseason loss to Oklahoma City.
Haliburton delivered an impressive offensive performance in limited action, shooting efficiently from the field and connecting on four three-pointers. The veteran point guard also contributed defensively with two blocks, though he committed four turnovers. His strong showing was an encouraging sign after he recently shook off an ankle issue.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Sitting out Tuesday
McConnell (undisclosed) will not play in Tuesday's preseason matchup against Oklahoma City, Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files reports.
McConnell has yet to appear in a preseason contest and has also missed practice time, though Indiana hasn't disclosed the reason for his absence. The veteran guard will sit out alongside Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith and Jarace Walker, potentially opening additional opportunities for the Pacers' younger players. McConnell's final chance to suit up during the preseason will come Friday against Milwaukee.

Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Not listed in starting lineup
Nembhard won't start Tuesday's preseason game against the Thunder.
Ben Sheppard and Kelly Oubre will start in place of Nesmith and Nembhard, who may both be receiving a rest day in Indiana's penultimate preseason game. Nembhard is expected to open the regular season as Indiana's starting shooting guard.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Not starting Tuesday
Nesmith is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason game against the Thunder.
Fantasy managers shouldn't read too much into this. The Pacers may be experimenting with different combinations, and it's also possible Nesmith could get an unannounced night off for this exhibition.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Starting Tuesday

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Starting against Thunder
Haliburton (ankle) is starting Tuesday's preseason game against the Thunder.
Haliburton will be joined by Ben Sheppard, Kelly Oubre, Pascal Siakam and Ivica Zubac in the starting five. Haliburton participated in Monday's practice without restrictions and is likely to see a modest workload Tuesday.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Returns to full practice
Haliburton (ankle) participated in Monday's practice without restrictions, head coach Rick Carlisle told Tony East of Forbes.com.
Haliburton missed a preseason contest due to an ankle issue, but his full participation in Monday's practice suggests he's making progress toward returning to game action. However, Carlisle indicated that the guard's availability for Tuesday's preseason matchup against Oklahoma City won't be determined until game day. His status remains worth monitoring, though the unrestricted practice session is an encouraging sign.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Struggles Saturday
Sheppard mustered two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one assist, one rebound and one steal in 16 minutes during Saturday's 119-117 preseason loss to the Hawks.
After scoring 13 points on 4-of-9 shooting in Wednesday's preseason-opening win over Minnesota, Shepard was far less productive Saturday. The 25-year-old guard provided a muted impact on offense but recorded his third steal of the preseason. He'll face competition for playing time from Kelly Oubre, Quenton Jackson and Jarace Walker to begin the regular season.

Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Makes impact off bench
Slawson managed 12 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 13 minutes during Saturday's 119-117 preseason loss to the Hawks.
Slawson was efficient from the field in his limited playing time, finishing as Indiana's third-leading scorer while pacing the second unit. The 26-year-old forward is on a two-way pact and figures to spend the majority of his time with Indiana's G League affiliate, the Noblesville Boom, in 2026-27.

Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Efficient shooting in narrow loss
Nembhard finished with 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound and three assists across 22 minutes in Saturday's 119-117 preseason loss to the Hawks.
Nembhard delivered an efficient shooting performance, and the coaching staff closely monitored his playing time, as it did for each projected starter. Fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about the playing time limitations or limited contributions. Nembhard is set to open the season as the starting shooting guard next to Tyrese Haliburton in the Pacers' backcourt.

Pacers' Kelly Oubre: Drains three triples in loss
Oubre registered 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and a rebound across 20 minutes in Saturday's 119-117 preseason loss to the Hawks.
The veteran wing, who started in place of Tyrese Haliburton (rest), provided valuable floor spacing for Indiana's starting unit, finishing with a plus-5 rating. His contributions were primarily concentrated on scoring, as he recorded no assists, steals or blocks, but his shooting efficiency stood out during his limited playing time. Oubre's ability to knock down perimeter shots should help Indiana generate offense throughout the season, and while he's ticketed for a bench role to open the season, he should remain a valuable fantasy contributor thanks to his scoring prowess.
