Lance Stephenson - Listed as questionable TuesdayStephenson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavs, James Boyd of the Indy Star reports.
ImpactA sprained left ankle has bothered Stephenson since late February, and it's cost him three of the Pacers' last five games, including Sunday's 133-123 loss to Washington. If he's ultimately cleared to return, he'll likely see a reduced role off the bench with all three of Malcolm Brogdon, Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield healthy. Chris Duarte (toe) is also questionable for Indiana.

Chris Duarte - Questionable TuesdayDuarte (toe) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavs, James Boyd of the Indy Star reports.
ImpactA left toe injury has already kept Duarte out of the last three games, and he looks to be at risk of missing a fourth. The rookie has been able to suit up for only four games since the Pacers acquired Buddy Hield and Tyrese Haliburton at the deadline, and with Malcolm Brogdon back from a long-term injury, it's unclear exactly how large of a role Duarte will return to whenever he's deemed healthy.

Goga Bitadze - Questionable for TuesdayBitadze (foot) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavs due to a right foot issue, James Boyd of the Indy Star reports.
ImpactBitadze has been battling soreness in the foot in recent days, and it caused him to miss Friday's game against Detroit. He was able to return for Sunday's loss to the Wizards, which he finished with 20 points, six rebounds and three three-pointers in 24 minutes. Look for a more definitive update on Bitadze's status after shootaround Tuesday.

Thomas Bryant - Dropped from rotationBryant (coach's decision) didn't see the floor Sunday in the Wizards' 133-123 win over the Pacers.
ImpactBryant's role had already been on the decline heading into Sunday with head coach Wes Unseld Jr. dropping him from the starting five in favor of Daniel Gafford, but Kristaps Porzingis (knee) getting the green light to make his team debut bumped Bryant out of the rotation entirely. Even though Porzingis will likely face some restrictions for a few more games while he works to regain conditioning following a month-long absence due to a bone bruise, Bryant looks as though he won't be anything more than the third option at center.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Supplies 19 points in winCaldwell-Pope finished with 19 points (5-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one steal across 33 minutes in Sunday's 133-123 win over the Pacers.
ImpactThe addition of Kristaps Porzingis (knee) to the lineup Sunday in his Wizards debut didn't seem to have too much of an affect on Caldwell-Pope, who put up double-digit shot attempts for the fifth game in a row. Even with Porzingis now part of the mix, the Wizards are still left without any real threats on offense outside of Kyle Kuzma, so Caldwell-Pope should continue to see plenty of touches as Washington's No. 3 option. Over his last five games, Caldwell-Pope is averaging 19.8 points, 4.0 assists, 3.2 three-pointers, 2.2 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 34.2 minutes per contest. Those numbers would make him worthy of rostering in most leagues, though he's due for a downturn to some degree after converting 50.8 percent of his field goals and 51.6 percent of his three-pointers during that five-game stretch.
