Bennedict Mathurin

Mathurin was back in the Pacers' lineup after serving a one-game suspension, pushing Aaron Nesmith to the bench. The latter had a better night at the office, finishing with 12 points, two rebounds, and two 3-pointers in 11 minutes. Nesmith remains on a minutes restriction, so the conversation about who should start, him or Mathurin, isn't worth having. But that may change soon, especially with the Pacers only playing two games during Week 13.

Mathurin is back after serving a one-game suspension on Thursday. He'll start with Aaron Nesmith heading to the bench in his second game back from a sprained ankle. Mathurin has performed well as a starter, so he may be able to hold onto the job even after Nesmith can take on a full workload.

Mathurin is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Nesmith will get the starting nod in his first game in about 10 weeks. He'll fill in for Bennedict Mathurin, who is serving a one-game suspension. Haliburton is also back after a one-game absence, which will push Ben Sheppard to the bench.

Nesmith will suit up for the first time since November 1st, and it wouldn't be surprising if he was on a minutes restriction. Bennedict Mathurin had been starting in his place, but he has been suspended for this game. If Nesmith doesn't immediately return to the starting lineup, Ben Sheppard should be in line for another start.
