Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Nembhard will miss his second straight game due to back soreness. The Pacers aren't playing for anything besides lottery odds right now, so they have little incentive to play anyone at less than 100 percent. It's unclear when Nembhard will return, but his next chance to play will come on Sunday. Quenton Jackson should see an increased role on Friday, but he hasn't done enough lately to warrant streaming in most fantasy formats.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) will sit out Wednesday's game against Chicago for injury management after playing in five straight contests. Nembhard had taken on a bigger playmaking role lately with multiple double-digit assist games, so Indiana will need to adjust with him out of the backcourt rotation. With T.J. McConnell (hamstring) also out, Quenton Jackson and Ethan Thompson could see expanded minutes, with Jackson coming off a 10-point outing in 20 minutes. Kam Jones and Taelon Peter could also factor into the guard rotation if Indiana needs extra depth. In championship week, Nembhard's absence could push fantasy managers to find short-term guard help.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (calf) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers after recently playing through the same issue. He appears on track to remain in the starting lineup after strong back-to-back performances. Nembhard posted 13 points, seven rebounds, and 14 assists in 35 minutes Monday after finishing with 25 points and seven assists in his previous outing. He offers solid fantasy value while handling lead guard duties. T.J. McConnell could see extra ballhandling work if any limitations arise.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (calf) has been upgraded to available for Monday's contest against the Orlando Magic. The team initially listed him as questionable on the injury report. While Nembhard has been held back by various health issues in recent weeks, he had a great outing on Saturday against San Antonio, putting up 25 points and dishing out seven assists. Nembhard has also performed well against the Magic this season, averaging 19.5 points and 9.0 assists in 33.0 minutes per game.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against San Antonio and could miss a fourth straight contest. Indiana's backcourt is dealing with multiple injuries, with T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Ben Sheppard (ankle), and Quenton Jackson (calf) also questionable, which could force rotation adjustments. Kam Jones could see increased usage after posting 14 points, four three-pointers, nine assists, and two steals in 27 minutes in his last start. He could be a deep-league streaming option if more minutes open up. Jarace Walker and Pascal Siakam (knee) may also take on more scoring depending on availability.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. He will miss a third consecutive game due to a right calf contusion. Meanwhile, T.J. McConnell (hamstring) has been cleared to play and will make another start at point guard. McConnell produced a 10-point, 10-assist double-double in 20 minutes on Tuesday against the Knicks. However, he could have a lighter workload on Wednesday due to the back-to-back situation, making him a risky fantasy option. With Nembhard out, Quenton Jackson and Kam Jones will also get more work in the backcourt.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Nembhard will miss his second straight game due to a bruised right calf. The expectation is that T.J. McConnell will move into the starting five once again. McConnell finished with nine points and 11 assists across 28 minutes of action on Sunday. He figures to play a similar role on Tuesday, which should make McConnell a viable streaming option.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (calf) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the New York Knicks. After dealing with back and neck injuries, Nembhard has sustained a right calf contusion, which could keep him sidelined for a second consecutive game. T.J. McConnell (hamstring) started in Nembhard's absence on Sunday against Milwaukee, but he is also on the injury report with a questionable tag. Quenton Jackson (calf) isn't fully healthy either, meaning Kam Jones could have a very heavy workload in Tuesday's game, along with Ethan Thompson.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back, neck) will suit up on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. He will return from a one-game absence. With T.J. McConnell (hamstring) and Quenton Jackson (calf) out, Nembhard is set to have a busy time as Indiana's playmaker on Thursday. He has averaged 15.1 points and 6.7 assists per game since the All-Star break. This is the first game of a back-to-back, so fantasy managers should prepare for a likely Nembhard absence on Friday night against the New York Knicks.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back, neck) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Nembhard has recently played through back and neck issues, but all signs point to him sitting out Tuesday's action. Pascal Siakam (knee) has already been ruled out for the game, so Indiana will likely be without its two offensive leaders. This will give players like Jarace Walker, Kobe Brown, and Quenton Jackson a chance to make a bigger impact. Jackson and Kam Jones are the candidates to fill in for Nembhard in the starting lineup.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back, neck) is questionable to play on Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 26-year-old has recently played through back and neck issues and could now opt for some rest to aid his recovery. The Pacers aren't really interested in winning late in the season, so backup point guard T.J. McConnell is likely to log his usual minutes even if Nembhard doesn't play. Younger guards like Quenton Jackson and Kam Jones will benefit more from his absence.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back, neck) is considered probable for Friday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 26-year-old is dealing with soreness in his lower back and neck area, but the probable designation indicates that Nembhard is expected to make a second consecutive appearance. However, Nembhard's ongoing health issues appeared to impact him during Wednesday's game against the Clippers, where he managed only five points on 1-for-5 shooting. It was a major disappointment for fantasy managers who had seen Nembhard produce at least 20 points in each of his previous three games.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back, neck) is considered questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers. The 26-year-old is bothered by lower back and neck soreness and could sit out a second consecutive game. With Nembhard on the shelf, Kam Jones joined the first unit on Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 24-year-old rookie put in solid work, finishing with a 10-point, 10-assist double-double, the first of his career. Jones is expected to maintain a larger role until Nembhard returns.

Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports that Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) will suit up against the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday. Nembhard previously carried a questionable tag, but he is now good to go. In his last outing, he collected 23 points and three assists in 28 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Sixers. The 26-year-old should continue to see minutes in the high-20s, and he remains a viable streaming option going into tonight's tilt.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) has a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Indiana will likely be without Pascal Siakam (wrist) on Thursday night, and Nembhard might join him on the sidelines due to a lower back injury. Despite the issue, Nembhard had 23 points and three assists in 28 minutes during Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia. He may be able to shake off the questionable tag again. If not, T.J. McConnell, Quenton Jackson, and Kam Jones will be expected to pick up the slack.

Indiana Pacers guards Andrew Nembhard (back) and T.J. McConnell (hamstring) will play Tuesday against Philadelphia after both carried injury tags. Nembhard continues to handle a steady workload, averaging 16.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, 7.0 assists, and 2.4 triples over his last five games in 30.0 minutes, keeping him locked into standard-league lineups. McConnell returns after sitting out Sunday and remains a deeper-league option, last posting nine points, two rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 15 minutes. Nembhard helps run the offense smoothly, while McConnell's return limits the upside of Ben Sheppard and Quenton Jackson.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's clash against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 26-year-old is managing a lower back injury. T.J. McConnell (hamstring) is also questionable, so Indiana could be without both of its primary point guards on Tuesday night. That could open the door for Ben Sheppard to play in the first unit, while Quenton Jackson and Kam Jones (back) could also have larger roles. Jones is also considered iffy for the game. Even as a starter, Sheppard has not been very productive, averaging 8.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists this season. There should be better options available to fantasy managers.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Nembhard will officially miss the second leg of this back-to-back set due to a back issue. He finished with five points, four assists, and had six turnovers across 22 minutes on Thursday. His minutes will likely be split up between T.J. McConnell and Kam Jones. His next chance to play will come on Sunday versus the Dallas Mavericks. McConnell is the better streaming option between the two guards with Jones sidelined.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against Washington. He's battled nagging injuries throughout the campaign, so he got the night off versus the Nets in Indiana's final contest leading up to the All-Star break. With Pascal Siakam (personal) and Ivica Zubac (ankle) ruled out, and Aaron Nesmith (back) and T.J. McConnell (hamstring) questionable, Nembhard should receive plenty of chances to produce in a meeting with one of the worst defensive squads in the National Basketball Association.

The Indiana Pacers are sitting a handful of rotation players on Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Starters Pascal Siakam (hamstring), Andrew Nembhard (injury management), and Aaron Nesmith (back) have all been ruled out. Reserve guard T.J. McConnell (hamstring) also won't play. Center Micah Potter (ankle) and forward Jarace Walker (illness) are questionable. The lengthy injury report comes on the second night of a back-to-back after Indiana's overtime win over the Knicks on Tuesday. With 14 games on the NBA slate, it's unlikely that any Indiana player who is shoved into the starting lineup will be stream-worthy.
