O'Quinn is expected to start Friday against the Pelicans, Jeremiah Johnson of Fox Sports Indiana reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Myles Turner (hip) out, the Pacers usually send in Domantas Sabonis to fill in at center. However, the plan has changed, as coach Nate McMillan wants to keep the second unit together. O'Quinn has yet to start a game this season, and he averages 7.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.6 blocks when seeing double-digit minutes.

O'Quinn scored 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and accrued five rebounds along with three assists across 21 minutes Wednesday against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn received his most playing time since Dec. 7 and made the most of his opportunities, knocking home five of seven of his shots from the floor and draining his lone attempt from beyond the arc. The Norfolk State product could continue to see an uptick in minutes until Myles Turner returns from a shoulder injury.

O'Quinn compiled nine points, seven rebounds, four blocks, and three assists in 17 minutes during Sunday's 121-105 loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn put up one of his better games of the season Sunday, taking advantage of Myles Turner (shoulder) being out with an injury. O'Quinn is one of the premier per-minute producers in the league and that was on display here as he racked up four blocks in just 17 minutes. If Turner misses further time, O'Quinn could be worth streaming in if you need some cheap big man stats in a hurry.

O'Quinn (illness) wasn't listed on Indiana's injury report for Friday's game against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn failed to play Wednesday due to an illness, but he appears good to go after being left off the most recent injury report. Even though he's healthy, there's a chance he won't take the court given his current role within the Pacers' rotation.

O'Quinn (illness) was inactive for Wednesday's 129-121 victory over the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Listed as questionable heading into the day, O'Quinn was ultimately given the night off for further recovery. He should have a better chance at making it back for Friday's game against the Pistons, but it's unlikely he'll be included in coach Nate McMillan's rotation in such a scenario. O'Quinn has earned minutes in just three of the Pacers' last 15 contests.

O'Quinn is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn wasn't on the initial injury report, but he's apparently dealing with an illness that could threaten his availability. Look for a more definitive update on the veteran as tip-off approaches.

O'Quinn (illness) is available to play in Friday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn popped up on the injury report due to an undisclosed illness, but it looks like it won't be an issue for the big man. O'Quinn, however, hasn't played in seven of the last eight games and will remain a deep bench option unless the Pacers' frontcourt becomes riddled with injuries.

O'Quinn (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn is dealing with an undisclosed illness, leaving his status murky for Friday's contest. Even if the big man suits up, he doesn't figure to see any significant playing time behind Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis.

O'Quinn contributed 12 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two blocks in 27 minutes during Friday's 112-90 win over the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

O'Quinn was exceptional filling in for Domantas Sabonis (illness). It was O'Quinn's first double-double of the season, and he managed season highs in rebounds, steals, and minutes despite not seeing the floor in any of the last four contests. It's unclear whether Sabonis will be sidelined for Saturday's matchup with the Kings, but if so O'Quinn would again be a decent option in daily leagues.

O'Quinn and the Pacers agreed to terms on a one-year, $4.5 million contract Friday, Shams Charania of Yahoo reports.

EDGE Analysis

Having already added Tyreke Evans and Doug McDermott, the Pacers will beef up their bench with another solid veteran in O'Quinn, who appeared in 77 games for the Knicks last season. O'Quinn averaged 7.1 points and 6.1 rebounds to go with 2.1 assists and 1.3 blocks per game -- both career-bests. With Myles Turner locked into the starting center spot, O'Quinn will likely slot in as the No. 3 option behind Domantas Sabonis, thought the two will battle for minutes.
