Malcolm Brogdon - Flops in blowout loss Brogdon recorded 12 points (4-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 135-102 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Brogdon returned from a two-game absence due to a concussion, and he couldn't get going as the Pacers were blown out at home. He's struggled shooting over his past two appearances, going 10-for-28, including 0-of-6 from deep. He'll look to bounce back against a weaker opponent in the Rockets on Friday.

Chris Duarte - Struggles in return Duarte registered five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three rebounds over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 135-102 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Duarte was coming off a toe injury, and the Pacers were the victim of a blowout loss -- a bad combination of factors for the rookie's statline. The persistent toe injury has drastically cut into Duarte's production since mid-February, and fantasy managers hoping he'd see increased usage after the trade deadline are feeling the effects.
MARCH 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Terry Taylor - Another solid performance Taylor closed with 14 points (7-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and two blocks in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 135-102 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Taylor saw 27 minutes in the blowout loss while Goga Bitadze (foot) sat out. Over the past two games, Taylor has totaled 30 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks in 52 minutes. His workload is often in flux, so fantasy managers may want to avoid relying on him, though he's someone to keep an eye on in leagues with daily transactions given how weak Indiana's frontcourt is at the moment.
MARCH 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tyrese Haliburton - Struggles in blowout loss Haliburton ended with four points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 135-102 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Haliburton had arguably his worst performance as a member of the Pacers, rivaling his eight-point, seven-rebound, seven-assist effort against the Pistons on March 4. There's no reason for fantasy managers to panic, as these types of games are few and far between for Haliburton, who has looked excellent overall since moving away from Sacramento. On a positive note, he handed out at least eight assists for a fifth straight game. A softer matchup is in store Friday when the Pacers face the Rockets.

Lance Stephenson - Minor role moving forward Stephenson (ankle) posted five points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists and one rebound across 16 minutes Tuesday in the Pacers' 135-102 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Stephenson returned from a four-game absence, reclaiming a small role on the Pacers' second unit in the process. The 31-year-old enjoyed a run of elevated playing time in February when the Pacers were down several key players, but the return of Malcolm Brogdon from a prolonged absence due to an Achilles injury looks to have put a damper on Stephenson's playing-time outlook.

Lance Stephenson - Iffy for Tuesday's contest Stephenson (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Grizzlies.
Impact Stephenson has missed four straight games due to a left ankle sprain and is in jeopardy of missing a fifth. Chris Duarte (toe) and Malcolm Brogdon (concussion) are both questionable as well, so Indiana's depth may be tested again if all three players are ruled out Tuesday.

Chris Duarte - Questionable for Tuesday's contest Duarte (toe) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Grizzlies.

Impact Hield co-led the Pacers in scoring. Despite a quiet night from beyond the arc, Hield has connected on multiple threes in four straight contests. He's logged a substantial 38.9 minutes per game across 13 contests -- -- a league-leading average over that span -- since joining the Pacers.
