Turns in neat final line Nesmith closed with 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes during Friday's 118-112 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Nesmith was efficient in limited chances off the bench in this one, needing only eight shots from the field to reach 14 points. His playing time didn't take much of a hit despite shifting to a bench role, and he should continue to see regular opportunities to make an impact as one of the Pacers' top options at power forward.

Not starting Nesmith will operate off the bench during Friday's matchup against Cleveland.
Impact Nesmith started back-to-back games and 10 of Indiana's past 14 contests, but he'll operate off the bench Friday, as Indiana has elected to start both Jalen Smith and Myles Turner. This is likely a matchup-based decision, as Cleveland sports one of the biggest teams in the league, led by the formidable frontcourt of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. Nesmith should still see a sizable role off the bench.

Impact Nesmith left Monday's contest against the Heat in the fourth quarter with a right shoulder injury, but the issue doesn't appear to be serious and shouldn't sideline him for Wednesday's contest.

Will start for Haliburton Nesmith will start Sunday's game at Portland.
Impact With both Tyrese Haliburton (groin) and T.J. McConnell (illness) out, the Pacers are down their top two point guards. As a result, Andrew Nembhard and Buddy Hield will start in the backcourt with Nesmith on the wing. In nine previous starts this season, Nesmith has averaged 8.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.4 made threes in 24.1 minutes.

Collects career-high four steals Nesmith notched eight points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and four steals across 18 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 139-119 loss to Utah.
Impact Nesmith has stepped up his defense lately, recording at least one steal in each of the past five games and averaging 1.8 steals during this stretch. That said, his low usage rate and poor efficiency make him nearly impossible to roster in fantasy, even in deep leagues.

Big scoring output Monday Nesmith contributed 16 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 116-115 victory over the Lakers.
Impact Nesmith has seen a slight uptick in his production since taking over a starting role over the last five games, racking up 8.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and a steal over 25.8 minutes per game. However, it's unclear if he will retain a starting role moving forward with Andrew Nembhard back in the mix. Monday's effort certainly aided his pitch to keep the job.

Plays 26 minutes in win Nesmith recorded 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3PT, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block across 26 minutes in Friday's 128-117 victory over the Nets.
