NBC SportsBennedict Mathurin (calf) is questionable to play against the Jazz on Friday.

Mathurin has missed Indiana's last three games but may be back to take on Utah. Ben Sheppard has taken on extra minutes with Mathurin sidelined, but his skillset doesn't translate well to fantasy basketball. If Mathurin is out again, Sheppard doesn't need to be added off the waiver wire.

NBC SportsBennedict Mathurin (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Mathurin will miss a third straight game with a sore left calf. The good news is that Pacers coach Rick Carlisle does not expect the wing to be out much longer, potentially returning as soon as Friday against the Jazz. Mathurin's absence frees up additional minutes for Ben Sheppard, but he does not need to be streamed in most leagues.
