Expected to play Monday Duarte (toe) is probable for Monday's matchup with the Magic. Impact Duarte returned to action Sunday following a three-game absence due to a toe injury. However, he's is back on the injury report ahead of the second half of the Pacers' back-to-back, though he'll likely be able to suit up barring a setback. If he is indeed available, Duarte is expected to rejoin the starting lineup with Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) and Lance Stephenson (ankle) both sidelined. As a starter this year (38 contests), the rookie has averaged 13.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.6 minutes per game.
