Aaron Nesmith Fantasy Stats

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (neck) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets, marking his third straight absence. His continued absence should keep Kobe Brown in a meaningful role after Brown produced 17 points, one three-pointer, eight rebounds, and six assists in 28 minutes as a spot starter last game. Brown shapes up as a viable deep-league streamer while Indiana remains shorthanded, with Jarace Walker (back) and Andrew Nembhard (back) also sidelined. Pascal Siakam (knee), if active, should continue to carry more of the offense.

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (back) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. As expected, Nesmith will play through his lower back pain. It shouldn't be something that impacts his ability on the court. The 26-year-old has been producing solid numbers as of late. Over the last eight games, Nesmith is averaging 17.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 30.1 minutes per game. He's usually reliable enough to be trusted as a low-end streaming option. He has finished with 14 points or more in five of his last six games.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (back) is probable for Friday's game against the Clippers after being listed with lower back soreness following recent appearances on the injury report for other minor issues. Nesmith is expected to maintain his starting role and offers steady value for points and three-pointers, averaging 13.4 points, 2.6 triples, and 2.2 rebounds across his last five games. He remains a viable option in standard formats for managers needing perimeter scoring. Andrew Nembhard and Pascal Siakam should continue to handle most of the offense.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers and is expected to remain in his usual starting role despite ongoing injury management. Nesmith has been productive lately, averaging 17.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists, and 3.6 three-pointers over his last five games while logging nearly 28 minutes per contest. He finished with 19 points and five three-pointers in Monday's win and remains a solid streaming option for points and threes. Jarace Walker and Ben Sheppard could see slightly more wing minutes if any limitations arise.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) has shaken off a questionable tag and will suit up on Monday against the Orlando Magic. He is managing a right ankle injury but is ready to make his sixth consecutive appearance. Despite producing a five-point dud on Saturday against San Antonio, Nesmith has averaged 15.6 points and 2.0 rebounds across his last five outings. However, with Pascal Siakam (knee) and Andrew Nembhard (calf) available on Monday, Nesmith likely has to take the backseat on the offensive end.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against San Antonio as he continues to deal with right ankle injury management. Indiana could again be thin across the rotation with multiple players carrying questionable tags, which may lead to more minutes for Kobe Brown and Jalen Slawson (G League) if available. Brown finished with eight points, two three-pointers, and one steal in 20 minutes in the last game and could be a deep-league option. Slawson posted 17 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks in 37 minutes and would carry streaming appeal if cleared.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) will play in the second game of a back-to-back on Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was initially listed as questionable after a 24-minute outing in Tuesday's loss to the Knicks. On Tuesday night, Nesmith notched 14 points with 4-for-6 shooting from three-point range but didn't contribute much else. He will look to make a bigger impact in a more favorable matchup on Wednesday.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Nesmith was questionable for the front end of this back-to-back set, but will ultimately play. He finished with 32 points, including seven three-pointers in Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's unlikely to do that again, but Nesmith remains a viable and consistent enough fantasy option to trust right now. Fantasy managers can get him active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is considered questionable for Tuesday's visit to Madison Square Garden to face the New York Knicks. Nesmith has produced a couple of big performances lately, including a 32-point effort in Sunday's loss to Milwaukee, but he's managing an ankle injury. The team will want to be cautious with Nesmith during its upcoming back-to-back set. At MSG, the Pacers may mainly rely on their reserves, with Pascal Siakam (knee), Ivica Zubac (ankle), and Andrew Nembhard (calf) also listed on the injury report.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) will sit out Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. After his impressive 29-point outing in Tuesday's loss to Sacramento, Nesmith will be held out of the first leg of a back-to-back for ankle injury management. With Nesmith sidelined, Ben Sheppard, Jalen Slawson, and Ethan Thompson are candidates for increased playing time. We will likely see Nesmith return to action on Friday against the New York Knicks.
