Nesmith is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Hawks, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith will replace Obi Toppin in the starting lineup Tuesday. However, the 24-year-old started in his 60 of his 73 appearances last season, so this is a familiar role for Nesmith.

Nesmith registered zero points (0-2 FG) and one rebound across 15 minutes during Sunday's 128-116 loss to the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith was held scoreless for the first time this season during Sunday's defeat, and he was unable to generate much production in secondary categories. He's been held under 10 points in eight of 12 appearances this year and has had inconsistent production overall, averaging 10.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in 23.2 minutes per game.

Nesmith (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith will not miss any time due to a minor ankle sprain suffered Thursday. It's a commendable display of durability for the 24-year-old, who has yet to miss a game this season.

Nesmith (ankle) is expected to be available for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith rolled his ankle in the first half of Thursday's win over Milwaukee. He attempted to play through the injury and has now gotten two full days of rest, which bodes well for his availability.

Nesmith is questionable for Sunday's game versus the 76ers due to a left ankle sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith has yet to miss a game this season but could do so Sunday. If the 24-year-old forward is ruled out. Jarace Walker and Jordan Nwora would be candidates to receive increased playing time.

Nesmith had 24 points (9-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 30 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 134-118 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Three different Pacers scored more than 20 points on the night, but it was Nesmith who led the team, and he also tied Bennedict Mathurin for the lead in three-pointers. Nesmith has been locked in to begin the season, shooting 54.4 percent from the floor and 48.6 percent from beyond the arc, but Indiana's crowded roster could prevent the 24-year-old from getting the minutes he'd need to make a serious push for the Sixth Man of the Year Award despite his excellent start.

Nesmith closed with 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 16 minutes during Monday's 152-111 win over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to Monday's contest, Nesmith had boomed for a 26-point effort but was averaging just 7.6 points per game across five other contests. He delivered an efficient showing Monday, but it came in the context of Indiana matching its franchise record for points in a game. Nesmith still needs to display consistent night-to-night scoring to have streaming appeal.

Nesmith posted 26 points (10-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and nine rebounds over 30 minutes during Saturday's 125-113 victory over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith, who signed a three-year, $33 million contract extension Monday, showed off why the Pacers believed in his development with an efficient performance against the Cavs. Nesmith was one rebound short of his second career double-double and was one of four bench players to have a points differential of plus-17 or higher. His 30 minutes was a noticeable uptick from the season opener and could continue to see more playing time if he's able to keep up his efficiency.

Nesmith signed a three-year, $33 million contract extension with the Pacers on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith had a career year during his first season with the Pacers last year, averaging 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.9 minutes per game, all the best marks from his first three seasons in the NBA. The 24-year-old will be rewarded with an extension just before the start of the 2023-24 campaign and will attempt to carve out consistent minutes once again this season.

Nesmith posted 18 points (7-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and a steal across 20 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 122-103 preseason loss to the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith was one of four Indiana players who logged at least 20 minutes in this preseason debut, and he paced the team in scoring while extremely efficient from the field. He's expected to be a bench piece once the regular season starts, however, and that should limit his upside in most formats.
