Nesmith is starting Sunday against the Knicks, Tony East of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith moves to the starting lineup in place of Jalen Smith. He's made 14 starts out of 26 appearances and is averaging 8.7 points with 3.6 rebounds per game in those contests.

Nesmith closed with 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes during Friday's 118-112 loss to the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith was efficient in limited chances off the bench in this one, needing only eight shots from the field to reach 14 points. His playing time didn't take much of a hit despite shifting to a bench role, and he should continue to see regular opportunities to make an impact as one of the Pacers' top options at power forward.

Nesmith will operate off the bench during Friday's matchup against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith started back-to-back games and 10 of Indiana's past 14 contests, but he'll operate off the bench Friday, as Indiana has elected to start both Jalen Smith and Myles Turner. This is likely a matchup-based decision, as Cleveland sports one of the biggest teams in the league, led by the formidable frontcourt of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. Nesmith should still see a sizable role off the bench.

Nesmith isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's matchup against Golden State.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith left Monday's contest against the Heat in the fourth quarter with a right shoulder injury, but the issue doesn't appear to be serious and shouldn't sideline him for Wednesday's contest. The third-year wing has started nine of Indiana's past 14 games, posting 9.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 23.3 minutes during that stretch.

Nesmith exited Monday's contest against the Heat in the fourth quarter with a right shoulder injury, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Nesmith will start Sunday's game at Portland.

EDGE Analysis

With both Tyrese Haliburton (groin) and T.J. McConnell (illness) out, the Pacers are down their top two point guards. As a result, Andrew Nembhard and Buddy Hield will start in the backcourt with Nesmith on the wing. In nine previous starts this season, Nesmith has averaged 8.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.4 made threes in 24.1 minutes.

Nesmith notched eight points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and four steals across 18 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 139-119 loss to Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith has stepped up his defense lately, recording at least one steal in each of the past five games and averaging 1.8 steals during this stretch. That said, his low usage rate and poor efficiency make him nearly impossible to roster in fantasy, even in deep leagues.

Nesmith contributed 16 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 116-115 victory over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith has seen a slight uptick in his production since taking over a starting role over the last five games, racking up 8.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and a steal over 25.8 minutes per game. However, it's unclear if he will retain a starting role moving forward with Andrew Nembhard back in the mix. Monday's effort certainly aided his pitch to keep the job.
