Thompson racked up two points (1-1 FG) and one assist over four minutes during Monday's 126-119 loss to Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson barely touched the floor Monday, continuing the recent decline in playing time. It would appear as though Indiana will have very little to play for later in the season, other than lottery balls. Head coach Rick Carlisle has already shown his hand when it comes to experimenting with different lineups, something that could very well continue for the remainder of the season. Thompson can be dropped in most formats, although managers will want to monitor the situation in case things change at some point.

Thompson is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Thompson made his return to the starting lineup Monday as the Pacers continue to experiment with the first unit. He tied his season high in made triples and scored in double digits for the third time in nine appearances this season.

Thompson notched two points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two assists across 24 minutes during Sunday's 108-89 loss to the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

With Quenton Jackson likely to earn a larger role on this team, Thompson's minutes could be in danger moving forward, especially after a dud like this one. Through six regular-season appearances, Thompson has posted averages of 5.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.5 steals on 42.3 percent shooting from the field.

Thompson closed with six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes during Monday's 116-105 victory over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson moved into the starting lineup for the first time in his young career, logging at least 28 minutes for the second straight game. Although his numbers don't jump off the page, he certainly had an impact when it mattered most, securing a number of key offensive rebounds down the stretch. At this stage, there is no reason to prioritize him outside of deeper formats. However, he is worth monitoring everywhere, just in case his hustle translates into viable fantasy production.

Thompson will start against the Kings on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

After signing a two-way pact with the Pacers on Nov. 30, the 26-year-old guard will get the starting nod for the first time in his short NBA career, pushing Garrison Mathews to the bench. Thompson impressed during Friday's win over Chicago, recording 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 34 minutes.

Thompson closed with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 120-105 win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson had made just two brief appearances for the Pacers this season before Friday's explosion, but he played impactful minutes and finished with a plus-25 differential. The two-way player started over Garrison Mathews to begin the second half of Friday's win, so it'll be interesting to see if he gets the starting nod Monday versus the Kings.

Thompson amassed no counting stats in three minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

After signing a two-way contract with the Pacers earlier in the week, Jones remained in the rotation, albeit for just three minutes. Although he has appeared in both games since signing his deal, there is no indication he will play a meaningful role at the NBA level.
