Pascal Siakam

Siakam's scoring and rebounding powered the Pacers to a win. He's scored more than 20 points in three straight contests and set a season-high rebounding mark on Thursday. The star forward's production has driven his team's three-game winning streak.

Siakam was very efficient as he scored 23 points on just 11 shots Friday. Not known for his long-distance shooting, he also knocked down both of his 3-point attempts in this one. After three straight games without reaching 20 points, he's had at least 20 points in two of his last three games. The 30-year-old power forward ranks just outside the top-50 in fantasy value this season.

On a night when starters Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner combined to score 19 points on 6-of-17 shooting, Walker turned in one of his best performances of the season. The 15 points were two shy of his career-high, established on November 6. Walker shouldn't be added currently, especially with the Pacers off until Friday. But his progress is worth tracking, especially in deep leagues.

After three games of 17 points or fewer, Siakam got back over the 20-point mark on Friday. The recent downturn in scoring is why he's ranked just outside the top 75 in 9-cat formats over the past two weeks and is now outside the top 50 in season-long value. Siakam will be fine, and Friday's performance was a step in the right direction.

Nembhard is good to go for Friday's game, meaning Quenton Jackson heads to the bench. Nembhard joins Tyrese Haliburton, Bennedict Mathurin, Pascal Siakam, and Myles Turner in the Pacers' starting lineup.
