Nesmith finished Wednesday's 117-112 win over the Celtics with 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals over 28 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Facing the team that drafted him 14th overall in the 2020 NBA Draft, Nesmith put together a solid performance. The 23-year-old has been spotting in and out of the Pacers' starting five all season but he's in a groove right now, scoring at least 12 points in five of the last six games and averaging 13.7 points, 5.3 boards, 2.2 threes, 1.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks in 25.5 minutes a night over that stretch. As long as he maintains this workload, Nesmith will have some deep-league fantasy value.

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.

EDGE Analysis

With both Tyrese Haliburton (groin) and T.J. McConnell (illness) out, the Pacers are down their top two point guards.
