Bennedict Mathurin - Starts again MondayMathurin dropped 16 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and a steal across 32 minutes in Monday's 134-127 win over the Mavericks.
ImpactMonday's game also marked Mathurin's second consecutive start, and he will likely remain in the starting lineup until Aaron Nesmith (ankle) returns. In his last three games, Mathurin has averaged 21.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 0.3 steals over 35.7 minutes, so it is possible his offensive production will increase in extended minutes.

Obi Toppin - Scores double digits in winToppin put up 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists in Monday's 134-127 victory over Dallas.
ImpactToppin has been a consistent contributor among Indiana's second unit, chipping in seven or more points in every game after the season opener. He averages 10.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.3 blocks over 21.3 minutes this season, but with Aaron Nesmith (ankle) potentially out for an extended period of time, it is likely Toppin will see an increase in usage until Nesmith returns.

Jarace Walker - Sinks three in winWalker put up three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in Monday's 134-127 win over the Mavericks.
ImpactEven though Walker did not have his best offensive output Monday night, his time on the court has been trending upwards, largely due to the absence of Aaron Nesmith (ankle). Walker will continue to back up Pascal Siakam, but if the 2023 first round pick can perform well while Nesmith is out, he may be able to carve out a spot for himself in the rotation moving forward.

Dwight Powell - Scoreless again in lossPowell played seven minutes in Monday's 134-127 loss to the Pacers, but did not record a stat.
ImpactWhile Powell has yet to contribute meaningful minutes this season, his opportunity could arise with Maxi Kleber (hamstring) out and Dereck Lively (shoulder) questionable for Wednesday's game versus Chicago. When they return, however, it is likely Powell will only see the court in limited fashion for the rest of the season barring injury.

Maxi Kleber - Remains out WednesdayKleber (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against Chicago.
ImpactKleber played off the bench in the first two games of the season and hasn't been able to step on the hardwood since. The big man doesn't have a clear timetable for his return.

P.J. Washington Jr. - Won't play against ChicagoWashington is out for Wednesday's game versus the Bulls due to a right knee sprain.
ImpactWashington appears to have injured his knee during Tuesday's loss to Indiana and will be held out Wednesday. In his absence, Naji Marshall will likely receive increased playing time. Washington's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Phoenix.
