Mathurin won't play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cavaliers due to left calf injury management.
EDGE Analysis
With the Pacers locked into the No. 4 seed, Mathurin, Pascal Siakam (elbow) and Tyrese Haliburton (back) will all take a seat for the regular-season finale. They should all be back in action for Indiana's first-round matchup against the Bucks.

Mathurin provided 13 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes during Thursday's 114-112 victory over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin didn't have his best shooting performance from three-point range, but he still posted a decent line as Indiana secured a two-point win over a resting Cavaliers team. The Pacers will rest most of their starters in the second leg of a back-to-back set Friday against the Magic, so Mathurin should have a sizable uptick in his usage rate in that contest. He'll probably operate as one of the Pacers' go-to offensive options.

Mathurin (calf) recorded 20 points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 12-16 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 23 minutes Friday in the Pacers' 140-112 win over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Back in action after missing the previous three games due to left calf injury management, Mathurin paced the Pacers bench in scoring thanks largely to his knack for drawing contact. The 16 free-throw tries were a season-high total for Mathurin, who is converting at an 83.4 percent clip on 4.5 attempts per game on the season.
