Mathurin (toe) is questionable for Thursday's game in New York.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin sat out Tuesday's game, which resulted in most of his minutes shifting to Andrew Nembhard. It'll be more of the same if he's out again Thursday, and fantasy managers can expect to get another update following shootaround.

Mathurin (toe) will not play Tuesday versus Boston, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin's streak of perfect attendance will be snapped at 47 games. His next opportunity to take the court comes Thursday versus the Knicks. Buddy Hield has struggled of late, but he, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith and Ben Sheppard will each have an uptick in offensive volume available for the taking.

Mathurin (toe) has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin appears to have sustained a toe injury since his 24-point performance against the Grizzlies on Sunday, which led to his recent addition to the injury report. He has yet to miss a game this season, but if he were unable to go, the Pacers would probably look to Andrew Nembhard and Obi Toppin to see extended minutes.

Mathurin provided 24 points (9-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 116-110 win over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin provided a much-needed spark off the bench, leading all Pacers in scoring while connecting on a team-high-tying trio of three and finishing three boards short of a double-double. Mathurin has scored 24 or more points in six games this season, hauling in seven or more rebounds in four of those outings.

Mathurin (ankle) will play off the bench in Friday's game against Portland, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin will play through his second straight questionable tag Friday after tweaking his right ankle Monday versus the Jazz. Aaron Nesmith (shins) is returning to action Friday and Pascal Siakam is making his debut, so there will likely be less touches and minutes available for Mathurin.

Mathurin (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Portland.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin tweaked his right ankle against the Jazz on Monday and was considered questionable for Thursday's matchup versus Sacramento. However, he suited up for that contest and played 37 minutes, posting 25 points, four assists, two blocks and a steal during a five-point win. The Pacers may give him the second night of a back-to-back off after a heavy workload, but there was no reported setback, suggesting the ankle issue is minor.

Mathurin accumulated 25 points (11-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Thursday's 126-121 victory over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin tweaked his ankle against Utah on Monday and was initially deemed questionable to suit up Thursday, but he was ultimately able to play. His presence was a big boost for a shorthanded Pacers squad, as Tyrese Haliburton sat out with a hamstring injury while Pascal Siakam isn't yet ready to debut for the club following Wednesday's trade. Mathurin took advantage of those absences in his second straight start, leading Indiana with 25 points and swatting multiple shots for the first time this season. He won't be the team's focal point on offense most games, but the second-year pro has certainly shown the ability to be a major offensive contributor this season, as he's scored 20-plus points on nine occasions and is averaging 14.8 points overall through 41 contests.

Mathurin (ankle) will play in Thursday's game against the Kings, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Mathurin upgraded to available, he keeps his streak of zero missed games this campaign alive. He will have a lot on his plate offensively with Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring), Pascal Siakam (trade pending) and Aaron Nesmith (shins) all sitting this game out.

Mathurin (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin is in danger of missing his first game this season Thursday due to a left ankle sprain. However, Mathurin's participation in practice Wednesday is a good sign for his potential availability against Sacramento.
