Mathurin finished with 28 points (10-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 39 minutes in Thursday's 105-99 overtime win over Brooklyn.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin had to once again step up in the Indiana starting lineup with the absence of Tyrese Haliburton (back), putting on a show with one of his best performances of the season. Mathurin led all Pacers in Thursday's contest in scoring and rebounds, setting a new season high in assists while posting his sixth outing with 28 or more points. Mathurin has now scored north of 20 points in three straight outings.

Mathurin racked up 23 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 10-12 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 135-131 victory over Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin got to the free-throw line early and often in Wednesday's contest, leading all players in free throws made to go along with a team-high rebound total in a balanced effort. Mathurin, who was one of three Indiana players to cross the 20-point mark Wednesday, has recorded at least 20 points in two straight contests.

Mathurin chipped in 22 points (6-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 35 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 132-130 overtime win over the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
With Myles Turner (hip), Pascal Siakam (personal), Aaron Nesmith (ankle) and Tyrese Haliburton (back) all sidelined, Mathurin returned to the starting lineup for the first time since March 10 and only the second time since the All-Star break. Mathurin is one of the most capable second-unit scorers in the league, but his numbers have been trending in the wrong direction of late. He's averaging a mere 12.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game since the break. For the sake of comparison, he's averaging 16.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per contest when deployed in a starting role.

Mathurin will come off the bench during Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old swingman will come off the bench due to Tyrese Haliburton (hip) returning to game action. Mathurin has appeared in two consecutive contests (one start) following a four-game absence due to a left wrist sprain, accumulating 35 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 63 total minutes.

Mathurin contributed five points (2-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 23 minutes during Monday's 121-103 loss to the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin struggled from the field Monday after erupting for 30 points Saturday against the Hawks. The 22-year-old forward connected on only two of his nine field-goal attempts against Chicago, finishing with five points, far lower than his 16.2 points per game average. However, as long as Tyrese Haliburton (hip) remains out, Mathurin should remain in the starting lineup and handle increased usage.

Mathurin is in the Pacers' starting lineup against the Bulls on Monday, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mathurin will make his first start since Feb. 8 due to the absence of Tyrese Haliburton (hip). Mathurin returned Saturday from a four-game absence due to a left wrist sprain and finished with 30 points, eight rebounds, five assists and two steals over 40 minutes.

Mathurin recorded 30 points (9-20 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals in 40 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 120-118 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
The third-year wing led the Pacers in scoring on the night and nearly dragged them to a comeback win after they found themselves staring at a 20-point deficit heading into the second quarter. Mathurin has missed the previous four games due to a wrist issue, but he looked 100 percent healthy upon his return. The 30 points represented his best scoring effort since he erupted for 38 against the Knicks on Nov. 10.

Mathurin (wrist) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Rick Carlisle "doesn't know for sure" if there will be a restriction on Mathurin's minutes, but the forward will suit up following a four-game absence. Mathurin is averaging 15.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in 11 outings off the bench this season.
