Mathurin finished Monday's 151-127 loss to the Clippers with 34 points (12-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

On a night with very little to cheer about for Pacers fans, Mathurin stood out with a season-high 34 points. Despite moving to the bench, he has been scoring the ball relatively well of late, tallying double-digit points in four of the past five games. He has been inside the top 100 over the past two weeks, averaging 17.7 points per game and adding 4.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 three-pointers.

Mathurin had 30 points (10-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 131-123 victory over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin notched the third 30-point game of his career, while his eight assists marked a new personal high. Mathurin's trademark aggressiveness getting downhill was fully on display, but its presence as part of a well-rounded offensive showing is notable. Mathurin has averaged 16.3 points on 50.0 percent shooting in 10 games off the bench this season, and he's an integral part of Indiana's promising future regardless of his role.

Mathurin ended Saturday's 123-109 loss to the Lakers with 20 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal across 30 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

The Pacers struggled to get things going against the Lakers and never really found the groove they had against Boston and Milwaukee, but Mathurin tried to provide a spark off the bench and finished the game as one of the team's top scorers. Mathurin has been far more consistent since returning to a bench role of late, averaging 13.7 points per game and shooting 46.2 percent from the field since being removed from the first unit. He averaged 13.0 points and shot 41.9 percent from the field as a starter.

Mathurin supplied 16 points (5-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Monday's 122-112 victory over the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin was terrible from inside the arc, connecting on just one of seven attempts, but he was still able to extend his double-digit scoring streak to five games thanks to a quartet of three-pointers. During that stretch, Mathurin has averaged 14.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25.8 minutes per game. Despite moving to the bench in mid-November, Mathurin is still playing heavy minutes and delivering solid scoring production, but his efforts in the peripheral categories leave fantasy managers in category leagues wanting more.

Mathurin notched 11 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT) and four rebounds over 22 minutes during Monday's 114-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin offered very little again Monday, continuing his poor run of late. Since moving to the bench, it's been a whole lot of nothing for the sophomore. Although he has scored at least 10 points in four of the past five games, he has shot over 50 percent only once while adding basically nothing in terms of peripheral production. Despite the upside, Mathurin is a drop candidate in standard leagues.

Mathurin isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Hawks, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin will be replaced by Buddy Hield in the starting lineup Tuesday. This is a surprising move, as Mathurin is averaging 15.8 minutes, 6.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 28.2 minutes across his last five appearances. The second-year forward could still receive a similar amount of playing time as normal despite coming off the bench.

Mathurin posted 14 points (4-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 25 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 128-116 loss to Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin led all Pacers starters in scoring while hauling in a team-high rebound mark despite playing just 25 minutes due to foul trouble. Mathurin has tallied at least 10 points and five rebounds on three occasions this season, all of which have occurred over his last five games.

Mathurin racked up eight points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt) in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 132-126 victory over the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin was held to a single-digit scoring total for a second consecutive matchup and was unable to generate any production in secondary categories. Although he remained in the starting lineup Tuesday, the 21-year-old was limited to just 16 minutes, his second-lowest total of the season.

Mathurin racked up 26 points (9-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-124 victory over Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Mathurin has his best outing of the season, leading all Pacers in rebounds while finishing with his first double-double of the year. Mathurin set season-high marks in both scoring and rebounds in the win and has now had two straight games with at least 20 points and nine rebounds.

Mathurin had 22 points (9-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 134-118 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

The 22 points and four three-pointers were season-best marks for Mathurin, while the second-year guard fell one board shy of his first double-double of 2023-24. After a strong rookie campaign, the 21-year-old has had a little trouble getting going to kick off his sophomore season with the Pacers, scoring 10 points or less in four of eight games, but Wednesday's big performance could be a sign he's heating up.
