Moses Brown - Available to play Wednesday Brown (recently signed) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.
Ben Sheppard - Questionable for Wednesday Sheppard (oblique) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Impact The 23-year-old guard missed Monday's loss to the Raptors due to a left oblique strain, though coach Rick Carlisle said Tuesday that he does not expect the injury to turn into a long-term absence, according to Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star. If Sheppard is unable to return Wednesday, Jarace Walker, Quenton Jackson and T.J. McConnell could see an uptick in playing time.

Myles Turner - Deemed questionable for Wednesday Turner (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Impact Turner sat during Sunday's loss to the Raptors due to right calf soreness, though coach Rick Carlisle said the big man will likely return to the lineup by Wednesday's game, according to Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star. With both Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) and James Wiseman (Achilles) out for the year, the club will turn to Enrique Freeman if Turner is unable to return.

Johnny Furphy - Iffy for Wednesday vs. Rockets Furphy (hand) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Impact Furphy exited Monday's loss to the Raptors early after sustaining a left hand injury in the first half. The rookie's absence shouldn't cause many waves in the rotation as he has averaged only 6.5 minutes per game this year, though the club will be without Andrew Nembhard (knee) and Aaron Nesmith (ankle).

T.J. McConnell - Records five steals McConnell contributed 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and five steals over 26 minutes during Monday's 130-119 loss to the Raptors.
Impact This was McConnell's seventh career game with at least five steals. His workload isn't ideal for fantasy leagues, but he's still managed to return top-200 numbers in nine-category formats with averages of 9.2 points, 4.2 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals.

Obi Toppin - Scores 19 points off bench Monday Toppin racked up 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 130-119 loss to the Raptors.
Impact The Pacers have been decimated by injuries in the frontcourt in recent games, but Toppin continues to play off the bench since he fits extremely well in that role. The former Dayton standout has scored in double digits six times this season, but he's posted his two best scoring outputs of the campaign in his last three games. His current season-high scoring mark is the 21-point effort he delivered in a loss to the Heat on Nov. 15. Even though Toppin is not expected to move to the starting lineup any time soon, he should enjoy an uptick in his fantasy upside as long as Indiana remains depleted in the frontcourt.

Pascal Siakam - Second double-double of season Siakam finished with 25 points (9-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Monday's 130-119 loss to Toronto.
Impact Siakam recorded a double-double for the first time since Oct. 30, and while he's lacked a bit of consistency on a game-to-game basis, he's been very productive in recent weeks. Since the beginning of November, the star forward is averaging 20.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.7 steals across 34.7 minutes per contest on nine appearances.

Bennedict Mathurin - Extends impressive streak Mathurin finished Monday's 130-119 loss to Toronto with 28 points (10-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes.
Impact A strong argument could be made to say Mathurin has been the Pacers' best offensive player since the beginning of November. The third-year guard has scored in double digits in all but one of his nine November outings and has reached the 20-point mark six times in his last seven in that span. As a result, Mathurin is averaging a strong 21.7 points per game since the beginning of the month.

Ben Sheppard - Likely to avoid lengthy absence Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said Sheppard (oblique) could be available to return to action Wednesday against the Rockets, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Sheppard missed Monday's 130-119 loss to the Raptors with a left oblique strain, and though injuries of this sort can often lead to multi-week absences, Carlisle said that the second-year wing's oblique issue isn't particularly serious. While Carlisle wasn't willing to formally commit to Sheppard being ready to play Wednesday, the coach suggested that the 23-year-old is a good bet to return to the lineup no later than Friday (at Milwaukee) or Sunday (vs. Washington). Jarace Walker moved up to the top unit Monday as a replacement for Sheppard, who had started in each of Indiana's preceding five contests and averaged 4.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 three-pointers and 0.8 steals in 27.0 minutes.

Myles Turner - Expected back Wednesday Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said that he expects Turner (calf) to return to the lineup Wednesday in Houston, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact While Turner sat out Monday's 130-119 loss to the Raptors due to right calf soreness, the Pacers turned to 6-foot-7 undrafted rookie Enrique Freeman to step in as an undersized starter at center. The Pacers' center depth has been tested with both James Wiseman and Isaiah Jackson having suffered season-ending Achilles injuries, and Carlisle indicated that the Pacers are expected to formally sign Moses Brown on Wednesday to aid a depleted frontcourt. While the addition of Brown could prompt the Pacers to ease up on Turner's workload over the balance of the season, the 28-year-old likely won't face any major restrictions with his playing time if he ends up being cleared to play in Houston as anticipated. Turner had averaged 34.0 minutes per game over his last eight appearances before missing Monday's contest.
