Pacers' Chris Duarte: Out Monday
Duarte (ankle) won't suit up for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Duarte lasted only five minutes during Saturday's game before he aggravated the ankle injury that caused him to miss the previous five contests, so it wouldn't be surprising to see this issue turn into a multi-game absence again. Expect more run for Jordan Nwora with Duarte watching from the sidelines.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Questionable Monday
Turner (back) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Mavericks.
Turner sat out the second leg of a back-to-back Saturday due to the back issue, but it appears his back is still giving him some issues and could hold him out for a second straight game. If that's the case, Isaiah Jackson would have the opportunity for another start and there would be more minutes available for Jalen Smith. Stay tuned.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Questionable Monday
Haliburton (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Haliburton played through the ankle issue Saturday and logged 32 minutes, but the Pacers may want to err on the side of caution with him ahead of a four-game week. Managers will need to check back closer to Monday's 7:00 p.m. ET tip for official word on his status, but if he is forced to the sidelines, T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard would be the primary beneficiaries.

Pacers' Trevelin Queen: Scores 29 points in win
Queen recorded 29 points (14-23 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block in 39 minutes during Friday's 114-110 win over Delaware.
Queen scored at least 20 points for a third straight game and is playing at a high level heading into the G League playoffs. Across 35 appearances, he's averaging 22.9 points per game.

Pacers' Jordan Nwora: Explodes for 33 points in loss
Nwora amassed 33 points (12-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 34 minutes during Saturday's 143-130 loss to the Hawks.
Nwora tallied 25 of his team-high 33 points in the second quarter, setting a franchise record for points in a quarter during the regular season. A known sharpshooter, Nwora was on another level here, rewarding anyone who took a chance on him. Based on what we have seen over the past week or so, Nwora should be viewed as a points streamer given the fluctuation in his playing time.

Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: Battles foul trouble in spot start
Jackson racked up 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and three steals across 23 minutes during Saturday's 143-130 loss to Atlanta.
Jackson moved into the starting lineup Saturday, replacing Myles Turner, who was out with a back injury. Despite playing just 23 minutes as a result of early foul trouble, Jackson reminded everyone just what he is capable of when given meaningful minutes. While he didn't record a block, he managed three steals, providing value in a hard category to stream. At this point, he needs Turner to be sidelined to be considered a standard-league option, something that could happen should the Pacers opt to shut things down.

Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin: Offers little in loss
Mathurin contributed four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes during Saturday's 143-130 loss to the Hawks.
Outside of Chris Duarte, Mathurin was the only other Pacer not to score in double digits Saturday. Despite rolling with the opening unit, Mathurin was barely visible, turning in another underwhelming performance. He continues to play through an ongoing ankle injury, and perhaps sitting out Saturday would have been a better option. He remains a viable asset, even in 12-team formats, although we saw here that when his shot isn't falling, he has very little else to fall back on.

Duarte has been bothered by the injury for quite some time, and while he was listed as available before the contest Saturday, he couldn't complete the game. This seriously puts into question his availability for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Officially available Saturday
Haliburton (ankle) will suit up for Saturday's game versus the Hawks.
Despite returning from a six-game absence Friday against Boston, Haliburton has recovered nicely enough overnight to take part in both ends of the team's back-to-back set. Aside from a bit of sloppiness with five turnovers, Haliburton showed minimal signs of rust in his return, racking up 20 points, nine assists, six rebounds and a steal over 29 minutes.

Pacers' Chris Duarte: Likely to suit up
Duarte (ankle) is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Hawks, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Duarte has missed five consecutive games with soreness in his left ankle but should be back in action Saturday. Although he may face limitations, given his week-and-a-half absence, Duarte should be good for sizable minutes off the bench.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: In line to play Saturday
Head coach Rick Carlisle relayed Saturday that he anticipates Haliburton (rest) taking the floor Saturday versus the Hawks, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Haliburton was initially termed questionable for the contest with an injury management label, suggesting he could receive a maintenance day to rest up, but it appears he should play both ends of the back-to-back despite returning Friday from a previous six-game absence. Official word on his status should surface before the 5 p.m. ET opening tip, but things are trending in the right direction.

Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin: Expected to play
Mathurin (rest) is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Hawks, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
There was a chance the rookie would rest his ankle during the second game of the back-to-back set, but he'll likely see the floor. Mathurin's coming off a terrible performance in Friday's loss to the Celtics, where he posted just two points, two assists and one rebound in 25 minutes.

Turner (back) is out for Saturday's matchup against the Hawks, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
A sore back will force Turner to miss his first game since March 13. In his place, Isaiah Jackson will likely start, while Jalen Smith should see more action as well.

Pacers' Chris Duarte: Snares questionable designation
Duarte (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Hawks.
Duarte has missed the past five games despite receiving questionable tags on the injury reports numerous times. So, his current status is nothing to get excited about, but it will still be worth keeping an eye on ahead of the 5 p.m. ET opening tipoff.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Tabbed questionable
Turner is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks with lower back soreness.
Turner is part of a rather lengthy injury report Saturday, popping up as questionable with back soreness for the tail end of the back-to-back set after playing 24 minutes Friday night. If he ends up missing, expect Jalen Smith and Isaiah Jackson to pick up Turner's vacated minutes.
