Team-high 30 points in OT win Mathurin tallied 30 points (9-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists over 42 minutes during Wednesday's 135-132 overtime win over Boston.
Impact Mathurin has logged just five points in each of his last two outings, but he much more impactful during Wednesday's Eastern Conference Finals rematch, finishing the game as the Pacers' leading scorer and with the second-most points for the game behind Jayson Tatum (37). Mathurin also contributed on the glass and managed to register his fourth-career double-double, his first Feb. 25 of the 2023-24 regular season. The 2022 first-round pick has come off the bench during the Pacers' first five games of the regular season, but more outings like Wednesday's could earn him a spot in the starting lineup alongside Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam.

Scores 20 points off bench Mathurin finished Friday's 123-98 loss to New York with 20 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes.
Impact Mathurin gave the Pacers a much-needed offensive boost off the bench, leading the team in scoring in a blowout 25-point loss against New York. It's only been two games, but it's clear the shoulder issues that limited Mathurin to just 59 regular-season appearances in 2023-24 are a thing of the past. He's scored 19 points in his first two outings of the new campaign and should continue to play a prominent role offensively despite his bench status, meaning he's also a player worth targeting in most fantasy formats.

Fourth-year option exercised The Pacers exercised the fourth-year option in Mathurin's contract Friday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Impact Mathurin will now officially be under contract with the Pacers until the end of the 2025-26 campaign. The Arizona product took a step back from his rookie campaign last year, during which he averaged 14.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 26.1 minutes per game in 59 regular-season outings before having his season cut short due to shoulder surgery. Mathurin is expected to play a significant role off the bench in year three, and he will likely back up Aaron Nesmith and compete for minutes with Jarace Walker and Ben Sheppard.

Moves back to bench role Mathurin is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason matchup against the Hornets.
Impact Mathurin is expected to open the 2024-25 regular season as a bench alternative, and given that the Pacers are using what looks like their most likely starting unit for Opening Day, it makes sense to see him retreat to the bench. Mathurin should see regular minutes in this contest, though.

Will start Monday Mathurin will start Monday's preseason game against the Grizzlies.
Impact With Tyrese Haliburton and T.J. McConnell resting, Andrew Nembhard will shift to point guard, while Mathurin enters the starting lineup at shooting guard. Last Thursday, Mathurin exploded for 25 points (8-12 FG) in 19 minutes off the bench during a win over the Cavaliers.

Explodes for 25 points Mathurin posted 25 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and an assist across 19 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 129-117 preseason win over the Cavaliers.
Impact Mathurin was one of the standout performers of Thursday's slate across The Association, and it seems the former Arizona forward is approaching the 2024-25 campaign with a chip on his shoulder following the injury woes that limited him to just 59 regular-season appearances in the previous 2023-24 campaign. Mathurin averaged 14.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 26.1 minutes in those 59 contests, and he could be a solid weapon off the bench for the Pacers, whereas his usage might end up making him a reliable fantasy asset as well.
