Jarace Walker Hits Third Three of the First Half at Celtics | Indiana Pacers

1 DAY AGO • YOUTUBE

Hands out season-high five assists Walker finished Friday's 142-105 loss to the Celtics with 15 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five assists and two steals over 28 minutes.

Impact Walker's 15 points and season-high five assists offered the Pacers a lift off the bench in Friday's blowout defeat, with the former figure falling just two points short of the forward's season-high 17 points that were posted back during a Nov. 6 win over Orlando. Walker has seen minutes in the 20s in only seven of his last 13 appearances, a period in which he's averaging 7.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 19.0 minutes. The 21-year-old former No. 8 overall pick has yet to carve out a consistent role off Indiana's bench during his second season, but Walker does present a short-term boost in fantasy value while Obi Toppin's (ankle) status remains up in the air for Sunday's meeting with Boston.

Impact This was Walker's third career game with at least 15 points, as he finished two points shy of his career-best mark of 17 points. Strong fantasy lines have been few and far between, however, as Walked scored a combined eight points in his previous three outings.

Showcases quick hands Walker provided 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and five steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 130-106 loss to Detroit.

Impact Walker was one of two Pacer bench players to score in double figures, but his largest contribution took place on the defensive end. He accounted for five of his team's nine steals after failing to record a steal in his previous two games entering the day. This was a solid all-around showing for the Houston product, who was averaging 4.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists over his last seven games prior to Friday's outburst.

Impact The 21-year-old forward will suit up with Andrew Nembhard (knee), Aaron Nesmith (ankle) and Ben Sheppard (oblique) ruled out. In his last five appearances (one start), Walker has averaged 6.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.8 steals across 21.8 minutes per game.

Iffy for Friday Walker is questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks due to an illness.

Impact The Pacers are depleted in terms of their wing depth, and the potential absence of Walker doesn't help the team's cause.

Cleared for Wednesday Walker (illness) is good to go Wednesday versus Houston, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

Impact Walker has had ample opportunities to step up with the Pacers dealing with a myriad of injuries to start the season, and that trend continues Wednesday with Ben Sheppard (oblique) unavailable for his second consecutive contest. Walker continues to build his confidence, but the second-year forward is connecting on 44.1 percent of 2.4 threes per game across his 14 appearances this year.
