RJ Barrett (non-COVID illness) will be available for Wednesday’s game against the Pacers. After sitting out Sunday’s win over the Wizards due to illness, Barrett is good to go for the team’s next game in Indiana. With Julius Randle still out, RJ will be tasked with assisting Jalen Brunson with carrying the scoring load.
Indiana Pacers DFS Spin
Bennedict Mathurin started and played 33 minutes in Sunday’s 115-105 loss to the Cavaliers, putting up 19 points (5-of-12 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, two blocks, and one 3-pointer. With Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner possibly out for the remainder of the season, young players such as Mathurin have every opportunity to show what they can do. The lottery pick led seven double-digit scorers on the night, and since scoring six points on 3-of-8 shooting in losses to the Celtics and Hawks on March 24-25, he’s scored at least 15 in four straight games. Mathurin’s issue fantasy-wise has been inconsistent production in the assists, steals, and blocks categories. Despite moving into the starting lineup on March 20, he’s ranked outside the top 150 in 9-cat formats over the last two weeks. Two other Pacers also worthy of fantasy attention have been Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell, as they’ve taken advantage of Haliburton’s absence. Nembhard (13/2/8/3 with one 3-pointer) and McConnell (16/2/5) have been slightly more valuable in fantasy basketball than Mathurin, and both are rostered in less than 40% of Yahoo leagues. Indiana only plays three games in Week 24, beginning on Wednesday against the Knicks.
