In their absences, Bennedict Mathurin and Ben Sheppard have moved into the starting lineup, but Jarace Walker, Quenton Jackson and Enrique Freeman are also candidates for increased roles.

Won't return Friday Nesmith (ankle) won't return to Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Nesmith was a perfect 5-for-5 from the floor with 12 points in 10 first-half minutes before sustaining a left ankle sprain. With Andrew Nembhard also out, the Pacers will need more out of Bennedict Mathurin, T.J. McConnell, Obi Toppin and Ben Sheppard.

Nesmith was a perfect 5-for-5 from the floor with 12 points in 10 first-half minutes. If Nesmith is unable to return, T.J. McConnell, Obi Toppin and Ben Sheppard would be candidates for increased roles, as Andrew Nembhard (knee) was ruled out ahead of the contest.

Quiet in preseason win Nesmith finished with four points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3PT), one rebound and one block in 21 minutes during Thursday's preseason win over the Hornets.

Impact Nesmith was back in the starting lineup but struggled to find any rhythm. Although he is slated to be a starter come Opening Night, Nesmith's fantasy game is relatively limited. He could very well have pockets of value throughout the season but it's hard to see him being anything more than a streamer, barring injuries to other key players.

Starting vs. Charlotte Nesmith (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Hornets.

Impact The Pacers rotated their first unit in the previous preseason contest, but they're trending toward what looks like their lineup for the regular-season opener against the Pistons next Wednesday, and that includes Nesmith, who missed Monday's contest against the Grizzlies due to an ankle injury. Nesmith isn't expected to have any limits regarding his workload in this matchup, though the goal should be to keep him healthy and available for the season opener next week.

Out Monday Nesmith won't play in Monday's preseason game against Memphis for rest purposes.

Impact Nesmith, Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam and T.J. McConnell will all get the night off but should return to action for Thursday's preseason finale against the Hornets. Nesmith posted 10 points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 14 minutes during last Thursday's win over the Cavaliers.

After signing an extension at the beginning of the season, the 24-year-old will likely return to the Pacers next season and look to expand on his role with the team.

Good to go Nesmith (shoulder) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the Knicks, Tony East of SI.com reports.

Impact Nesmith was deemed questionable ahead of Sunday's contest with a sore right shoulder. However, he'll suit up for the contest and should have no restrictions. Nesmith is averaging 9.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game during the series.

MAY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Game 4 Nesmith is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against New York with right shoulder soreness.

Impact Nesmith's shoulder injury is new, as he seemingly picked up the issue during the Pacers Game 3 win. Nesmith has averaged 34.3 minutes per game during the series, which could open up plenty of minutes for Doug McDermott and Ben Sheppard if Nesmith winds up sitting Sunday.

Impact Nesmith managed just six points in the loss, continuing his disappointing postseason. While he does provide the Pacers with a reliable defensive asset, his inability to score on a consistent basis remains a concern.

Impact Nesmith salvaged a rough shooting night with modest across-the-board production. Despite playing a significant role, he has been unable to rediscover his form from earlier in the season. While the loss was far from ideal, the Pacers will now head home for Game 6, where they will attempt to wrap up the series.

Pops for 15 points in loss Nesmith accumulated 15 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and six rebounds over 33 minutes during Friday's 129-120 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Nesmith was one of eight Pacers players to score double-digits, although it wasn't enough to get the victory. While it has been an encouraging season for Nesmith, this does feel like a best-case scenario in terms of opportunity. Looking beyond this season, it's hard to see him being a must-roster player outside of deeper leagues.
