JaKarr Sampson Fantasy Stats

Indiana Pacers forward Jakarr Sampson (concussion) is listed as out for Monday's game. It sounds like Sampson will miss at least one more game as he continues to follow the league's concussion guidelines. His absence won't mean a whole lot to the Pacers rotation right now. Domantas Sabonis and Doug McDermott are likely going to benefit the most without Sampson on the court. Sabonis is obviously the better streaming and DFS option between the two.

Indiana Pacers forward Jakarr Sampson (concussion) will not play on Monday evening against Washington. The journeyman was placed in concussion protocol, and after having not played against OKC on Saturday, he will now miss another one in a favorable matchup against the Wizards. Luckily, Domantas Sabonis (back) returned against the Thunder, so even if Sampson were available, he would likely see a significant decrease in minutes.

Indiana Pacers forward Jakarr Sampson tied a season-high 14 points in Friday's 108-102 win over the Bulls. The 26-year-old also added five rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 17 minutes off the bench. The St. John's product is seldomly used on this Pacers team, and averages 3.9 points per game. Friday was basically a statistical anomaly for the fourth-year player. Look no further than the fact that this was only the second time he scored in double digits since November to confirm he has no fantasy relevance.

With Indiana Pacers power forward/center Domantas Sabonis scratched due to a back ailment, the duo of Doug McDermott and Jakarr Sampson stepped in to collect 24 points during Fridays win over the Chicago Bulls. Sampson drew the start and made all four field goals that he attempted, finishing with eight points and five rebounds across his 20 minutes. But it was McDermott who was the more fantasy relevant of the two, dropping 16 points off the bench in just 22 minutes of action. He also added four rebounds and two assists, and figures to remain a focal point of the Indiana offense should Sabonis remain sidelined Monday against Philadelphia.

Indiana Pacers small forward Jakarr Sampson has missed each of his teams past 11 games due to lower back soreness, but a return appears on the horizon, as he has earned a questionable designation for Wednesdays game against the Boston Celtics. Sampson started seven contests earlier this year for Indiana, but with the team returning to a semblance of full health, he will likely retain a minor bench role. Should he suit up, its unclear whose minutes he may chip away at. Check back closer to tip-off to get a read on whether or not Sampson will return Wednesday.

Indiana Pacers small/power forward Jakarr Sampson will miss his third consecutive game Monday versus the Memphis Grizzlies due to a sore back. Sampson, who has made seven starts during the month of November, has retained very little fantasy value even with his minutes having increased during his fifth NBA campaign. With the Pacers having returned to full health, Sampson will likely see only a handful of minutes as a reserve once he is able to return. His next opportunity comes Wednesday against Utah.

Indiana Pacers forward Jakarr Sampson will join the starting five for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The Pacers are without Myles Turner (ankle) for a few weeks, so they will have to fill the void by committee. TJ Leaf started last game, but was basically a ghost out there during his eight minutes on the court. Sampson has played only 10 minutes this season, so he's a difficult guy to trust in DFS settings.

Chicago Bulls small forward Jakarr Sampson set a new career high during Saturdays loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, pouring in 29 points on 11-for-17 shooting over his 35 minutes. Sampson has made just three appearances with Chicago and averaged 23 points per game coming off the bench. With the majority of their regulars out of the mix, Sampson has taken on an increased offensive role and enters the must-own category for the final two games of the season, with Chicago having little incentive to bring back the likes of Zach LaVine and Otto Porter, which should pave the way for Sampson to have as many shots as he desires with his eye towards capturing a job for next season.

Chicago Bulls small forward Jakarr Sampson played in his first NBA game of the season during Mondays loss to the New York Knicks and tied his career high in scoring with 22 points across 30 minutes. He finished 8-for-10 from the floor and added seven rebounds, having most recently recorded 22 points in an NBA contest April 15, 2015, as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. It has become nearly impossible to figure who will emerge for the Bulls on a nightly basis to close out 2018-19, but once Sampson gets added to the DFS player pool, he could be an intriguing play Wednesday against Washington should the starters remain out.
