Edwards posted 14 points (2-15 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Edwards was ice-cold in the loss, connecting on only two shots. His nine points at the charity stripe softened the blow slightly. The last time Edwards' scoring total dipped below 20 points was before the All-Star break, when he collected 14 points against Portland. He's finished with fewer than 20 points only eight times this season, and while credit is due to the Lakers' defense, Edwards' performance is certainly an outlier.

Kennard finished with 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Kennard's acquisition has paid dividends as he continues to log meaningful minutes with his new team. Although he'll need a major injury to be fantasy relevant, he'll provide solid support during the playoff push.

Ayton ended with 14 points (7-11 FG, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Ayton has suffered through some poor totals recently, but he returned to form against one of the most imposing frontcourt duos in the league during the convincing win. With Jaxson Hayes (back) out of commission, Ayton logged 34 minutes and played great defense under the basket, limiting the duo of Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert to just 17 points.

Reaves posted 31 points (10-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds and eight assists in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

The game didn't start well for Reaves, but he played like a man possessed in the second half, scoring 29 of his 31 points after the intermission. While he had an accurate night on the floor, some of his most dynamic plays came as a ballhandler, which included a great no-look behind-the-back dish in the paint to Deandre Ayton. Reaves' contribution helped to assuage LeBron James' (hip) continued absence.

Jones posted 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Jones stepped in for the injured Andrew Nembhard (back) and produced a decent total in the loss. The Pacers selected Jones in the second round of the 2025 NBA draft with hopes that the Marquette product could help bolster the backcourt with Tyrese Haliburton unavailable for the year. Instead, the rookie played frequently with the G League's Noblesville Boom and has made minimal impact with the parent club.

Toppin posted 17 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

The Pacers are lucky to have a skilled veteran like Toppin on the bench, and he paid dividends amid Pascal Siakam's (knee) absence. Toppin has starter potential next season if the Pacers try to create cap room, and he's a bargain at the moment, representing only 9.05 percent of the team's payroll.

Nesmith accumulated 29 points (10-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

With Pascal Siakam (knee) and Andrew Nembhard (back) sidelined, the Pacers needed extra support. Nesmith stepped up and turned in his second-highest point total of the season in the narrow loss. It was a nice bounce-back for Nesmith, who was mired in a four-game slump where he failed to register double-digit scoring totals. This is an outlier total for Nesmith, who has exceeded 20 points only five times this season.

DeRozan recorded 12 points (4-13 FG, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 win over Indiana.

EDGE Analysis

Although there was no official announcement about a minute restriction, DeRozan returned to action and played only 24 minutes after a one-game absence. He connected on just four of his 13 shot attempts and appeared a step slow, which is likely due to lingering effects of his recent illness.

Westbrook posted 16 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds and nine assists in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 win over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Westbrook finished one rebound shy of a double-double in the victory. The veteran helped to break a three-game skid with a triple-double against Chicago in the last game, but left most of Tuesday's heavy lifting to Devin Carter, who stepped in and scored 24 points in just 16 minutes.

Raynaud finished with 18 points (8-15 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 victory over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Raynaud took advantage of Indiana's shorthanded frontcourt and logged his fourth double-double in five games. He's played elite ball this month, averaging 18.4 points, 10.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in March.
