Impact The rookie continues to thrive as a scoring threat off the bench, and while he has failed to reach the 20-point mark in four of his last five contests, he remains an above-average performer for rookie standards. The former Arizona standout has yet to crack the starting lineup, but he's averaging 20.4 points while shooting 45.6 percent from the field to date.

Impact Indiana's 2022 first-round pick made waves in Saturday's win, connecting on six of nine three-point attempts alongside a season-high 32 points. The Arizona product is currently coming off the bench, but if he continues to play like this, a spot in the starting five may need to be created.

Needs 11 shots to score 11 points Mathurin had 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Friday's 127-117 win over the Wizards.

Impact Mathurin enjoyed a blistering start to the season with five straight contests with at least 15 points, and while that streak ended in this game, his offensive potential can't be overlooked. Even if he's coming off the bench, Mathurin remains a valuable fantasy piece across most formats, and he is showing elite value in dynasty formats if this six-game sample is a sign of things to come in the future.

Shines off bench Friday Mathurin ended Friday's 137-134 loss to the Spurs with 26 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes.

Impact Mathurin has taken the league by storm in his first two games. While some regression is to be expected given how good he's looked early on, the fact that he has scored over 18 points in his first two outings while shooting 50 percent from the field shows his offensive game is more than ready for the NBA level. It wouldn't be surprising if Mathurin sees more minutes going forward.

Scores 19 off bench Mathurin contributed 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Wizards.

Impact Mathurin recorded 10 of his 19 points in the first quarter, going 3-of-5 from the field, including two threes with less than a minute left in the period off assists from T.J. McConnell. The Pacers guard got a bit sloppy in third quarter, turning the ball over on back-to-back possessions while missing two easy shots in the paint. He also missed all three of his free-throw attempts in the fourth quarter as Washington continued to pull away down the stretch. Still, it was a solid performance for the Pacers' key role player off the bench.

Launches 18 shots in preseason loss Mathurin produced 18 points (7-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to Houston.

Impact Mathurin continued to fire away from the floor, reaffirming the confidence the coaching staff have clearly afforded him. Come the regular season, he is likely to take a bit of a step back, once the team is at full strength. With that being said, he is obviously a big part of their long-term future and although he will be coming off the bench, he makes for a viable option toward the back end of standard drafts.

Scores game-high 27 points Mathurin scored 27 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3 Pt, 11-12 FT) with four rebounds, one assist and a steal across 30 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Knicks.

Impact Mathurin hit all four of his shots in the first quarter, the last two of which came off assists from Andrew Nembhard. The Pacers guard was quiet after that until the fourth quarter when he added another nine points on 3-of-5 shooting. However, he also fouled out of the game (albeit with 24 seconds left), with five of his fouls coming in the fourth.

Good to go for preseason Mathurin (toe) is not on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's preseason game against Charlotte.

Impact Mathurin appeared in three Summer League games before a toe injury forced him to the sidelines for the remainder of the contests. While the rookie won't start Wednesday's preseason opener, he should still see plenty of opportunities as a reserve after averaging 19.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game during Summer League.

Summer League over as precaution Mathurin will not appear in the remaining Summer League contests due to a sore left big toe.

Impact Mathurin made his mark on the three Summer League contests he appeared in, racking up 19.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game. The rookie will rest his toe to ensure it doesn't turn into anything worse and will likely be ready to go when training camp kicks off.

Excellent two-way performance Mathurin finished Tuesday's Summer League win over the Pistons with 20 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals in 19 minutes.

Impact Mathurin has looked great through three Summer League contests, scoring 20-plus in two of them. His efficiency was excellent Tuesday, and he also managed three steals with zero turnovers. The two-way effort is very encouraging from the No. 6 overall pick in last month's draft.

Scores 15 but Vegas Pacers fall Mathurin finished Sunday's Las Vegas Summer League game against the Kings with 15 points (6-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist.

Impact After going for 23 points in just 20 minutes against Charlotte on Friday, Mathurin wasn't quite as effective in his matchup against No. 4 overall pick Keegan Murray. Still, in just two games, Mathurin has already shown several encouraging flashes as a scorer. However, he's handed out only one assist thus far in Vegas (48 total minutes). With the Pacers moving on from Malcolm Brogdon and likely embracing at least a partial rebuild, Mathurin will have an opportunity to be an impact fantasy player as a rookie.
