EDGE Analysis

Nesmith was back in action after a three-game absence due to a left tibia strain. Though the Pacers roster looked different from when he last played with the addition of Pascal Siakam and the subtraction of Bruce Brown, Nesmith maintained his spot in the starting five and notably saw more minutes than some of his primary competitors for playing time in Bennedict Mathurin (24 minutes), Jalen Smith (14 minutes) and Obi Toppin (11 minutes).
