Mathurin (ankle) practiced Wednesday, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's good to see Mathurin back on the court after he left Monday's matchup against Utah early due to a sprained left ankle. However, his status for Thursday's game against the Kings remains to be determined. Mathurin has scored in double figures in 12 straight games, averaging 17.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 26.8 minutes per game during that stretch.

Mathurin will not return to Monday's game against Utah due to a left ankle sprain, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin appeared to tweak his ankle by stepping on a teammate's foot while playing defense in the third quarter, and he then came up hobbled while attacking the basket on an ensuing Indiana possession. He remained in the game to take free throws but promptly headed to the locker room and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest shortly thereafter. Mathurin finishes Monday's abridged night with 11 points, while Jordan Nwora and Ben Sheppard will likely see increased run in his stead.

Mathurin is starting Monday night against the Jazz, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin finished with 15 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), one rebound and three assists across 27 minutes during Friday's 126-108 win over the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin continues to thrive in a bench role and delivered an efficient performance Friday, putting up double digits for the 10th game in a row while also missing just three shots from the field. During that 10-game stretch, Mathurin is averaging 18.1 points per game while shooting 54.5 percent from the field. He doesn't do much outside of scoring, but that's enough to make him relevant in fantasy despite his bench role.

Mathurin tallied 26 points (8-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 29 minutes in Monday's 133-131 win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin led all Pacers in scoring and threes made while adding a pair of steals in just 29 minutes off the bench in a winning effort. Mathurin set a season high in threes made while posting his fifth game of the year with at least 25 points. Mathurin has connected on two or more threes in three of his last five games while posting 20 or more points in three of his last five outings.

Mathurin logged 20 points (7-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 118-101 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin was one of Indiana's best offensive players despite coming off the bench, and he made the most of his minutes by putting up his seventh 20-point game of the season. Three of those outings have come over Indiana's last five games, so Mathurin is going through his most productive stretch of the campaign. Though to be fair, he doesn't add much to the table consistently outside of his scoring figures.

Mathurin ended Wednesday's 142-130 win over the Bucks with 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and three assists in 25 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin ended with 25 points (9-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT) and 13 rebounds in 36 minutes during Monday's 122-113 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin has now registered double-digit points in back-to-back games. His 36 minutes of playing time Monday was hist most since Dec. 11 against the Pistons as he got more opportunities with Bruce Brown (knee) sidelined for the contest. Mathurin could see more playing time in Wednesday's rematch against the Bucks after Andrew Nembhard left Monday's game due to back soreness.

Mathurin notched 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes during Thursday's 120-104 win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin reached the 15-point mark for the first time since Dec. 18, but his overall numbers have slumped a bit compared to his impressive rookie year. The second-year forward will likely continue as an option off the bench based on his struggles when handed a starting role. Despite the role and limitations of being a second-unit player, Mathurin has relied on his scoring prowess to remain relevant in fantasy. Over his last 10 outings, he's averaged 14.4 points per game while averaging 25.5 minutes per contest.

Mathurin logged 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 123-117 victory over the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin didn't shoot well in the contest, but his performance was nonetheless a step in the right direction after he averaged 4.0 points on 26.7 percent shooting (including an 0-for-6 mark from deep) over his previous two games. It's been an up-and-down season for the second-year pro, especially of late -- he's scored 30-plus points twice in his past nine games but also has three performances of six or fewer points during that span. His inconsistency and minimal peripheral stats make him a shaky target in standard fantasy leagues, and he currently ranks outside the top 200 players in nine-category leagues on the campaign.
