Solid production in win Brissett totaled 14 points (4-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block in 31 minutes during Friday's 121-118 victory over the Rockets.
Impact Brissett scored in double figures for just the third time over the past nine games and grabbed at least eight rebounds for the 11th time during the campaign. The third-year big man also dished out a season-high four assists during the win. Across eight games in March, Brissett has averaged 9.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 26.9 minutes.

Another subdued effort in win Brissett supplied nine points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 119-108 win over San Antonio.
Impact Brissett flirted with a double-double in the victory but certainly didn't set the world on fire when it comes to fantasy production. Since exploding a few weeks back, things have slowed for Brissett, with him scoring in double digits only once in his past six games. His defensive numbers have also dropped away, as he's tallied two steals and five blocks over that same period. There is a chance he gets hot again at some point, but until then he should be viewed as a deeper-league asset only.

Booms in win Brissett posted 27 points (9-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT) and six rebounds over 34 minutes during Sunday's 128-107 victory over Boston.
Impact Approaching his career high of 31 points, Brissett put together a strong scoring effort Sunday. Additionally, he racked up 11 points in a pivotal third quarter that stifled a potential Boston comeback. The second-year wing has averaged 13.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.7 combined steals/blocks per game over 28.7 minutes per game in nine February contests -- all representing his highest outputs of the season.

Bounces back in win Brissett accumulated 17 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-8 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 113-108 win over the Wizards.
Impact Despite shooting just 33.3 percent from deep, Brissett is emerging in Torrey Craig's vacated 3-and-D role. Even factoring in a six-point dud from Wednesday, Brissett has scored at least 15 points in four of his past five games -- easily his most productive scoring stretch of the season. The 23-year-old is a strong rebounder and solid defensive presence, and he's boosted his three-point shooting to 35.7 percent on 4.0 attempts per game across seven contests this month.

Shines with 22 points, 13 boards Brissett finished with 22 points (9-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 37 minutes during Sunday's 129-120 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact With Myles Turner (foot) still sidelined and Domantas Sabonis now a Sacramento King, the Pacers' frontcourt situation is going to be worth closely monitoring over the final two games before the All-Star break. Brissett started alongside Goga Bitadze on Sunday, but recent addition Jalen Smith went for 17 points and 12 rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench, while Bitadze was limited to only 19 minutes. Meanwhile, veteran Tristan Thompson was also in the mix, playing 15 minutes. Once Isaiah Jackson (ankle) is cleared to return, he'll also factor into the equation. Assuming Turner is back shortly after the break, there may only be room for one of the aforementioned players to emerge as a fantasy-viable option on most nights.

Posts double-double Friday Brissett contributed 18 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 38 minutes during Friday's 120-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Brissett joined the starting lineup for the second time this season after Domantas Sabonis and Torrey Craig were traded away prior to the deadline, and he had a major impact during Friday's matchup. The 23-year-old led the team in rebounds en route to his first double-double of the season, and he should have the opportunity to maintain his starting role now that he has less competition for playing time.

Starting post-deadline Brissett will start at power forward during Friday's matchup against the Cavaliers, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact With the Pacers trading away Domantas Sabonis and Torrey Craig before the deadline, a power forward spot opened up. Brissett is getting the first stab at filling the position in his second start of the season. In 13 games that he's seen 24-plus minutes this season, he's averaged 9.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 28.4 minutes.

Solid performance off bench Brissett finished with 15 points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 133-112 loss to the Hawks.
Impact With Domantas Sabonis traded to the Kings and Myles Turner (foot) still out, Goga Bitadze drew the start at center, but Brissett garnered a sizeable role off the bench. The backup big man registered at least 15 points and five rebounds for the second time this season, and he recorded multiple steals for just the fifth time. In 22 contests that Brissett has played at least 20 minutes, he's averaged 8.8 points and 6.1 rebounds.

Minor role in return Brissett (ankle) logged 10 minutes off the bench Friday in the Pacers' 122-115 loss to the Bulls, finishing with two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and one rebound.
Impact Though the Pacers didn't disclose that Brissett was on any sort of restriction in his return from a two-game absence due to a sore ankle, he wasn't entrusted with a large role anyway despite Indiana remaining without several key members of the frontcourt. instead, head coach Rick Carlisle relied more heavily on two-way rookie Terry Taylor, who built on strong performances in the prior two contests with a 21-point, 14-rebound effort in 38 minutes Friday. At this stage, Taylor may have vaulted ahead of Brissett in the pecking order, perhaps signaling that Brissett could be outside of the rotation entirely when one or more of Domantas Sabonis (COVID-19 protocols), Isaiah Jackson (ankle) or Goga Bitadze (foot) are cleared to play again.

Available Friday Brissett (ankle) is available Friday against the Bulls, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Impact After a two-game absence, Brissett returns for the Pacers team dealing with a myriad of frontcourt absences. That could open up a minutes increase for Brissett. In games where he's seen at least 24 minutes, he's averaged 9.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals.
