EDGE Analysis

Nesmith suffered a shin injury against the Raptors last Wednesday, but no updates have been provided on the results of his MRI. Luckily for Indiana, the 24-year-old forward appears to have avoided a major injury. Fantasy managers should look out for an official injury report to clarify Nesmith's status for Thursday's game versus Detroit.
