Aaron Nesmith is set to return for Friday’s game against the Bucks after being absent due to a hand injury. His comeback will likely relegate Ben Sheppard to a bench role, reducing Sheppard’s short-lived fantasy value. Managers in most leagues should consider other options, as Sheppard’s impact as a starter was minimal.

Aaron Nesmith contributed nine points, five rebounds, one assist, and two blocks in 19 minutes during the Pacers’ recent loss to the Heat.

Fantasy managers may want to consider adjusting their line-ups accordingly to capitalize on Walker’s increased involvement.

In a promising display, Aaron Nesmith led his team with 25 points in a loss against the Nuggets, showcasing efficiency with 70 percent shooting and a perfect free throw record.

His ability to contribute with steals adds further appeal for managers in deeper leagues seeking versatile guard production.

Aaron Nesmith delivered an impressive 31-point performance in the Pacers’ win over the Warriors, marking his third career 30-point game. Despite shooting struggles early in the season, Nesmith’s breakout game is timely for the shorthanded Indiana team. With four games in the upcoming week, including against the Bucks, his fantasy value could see a temporary rise, although managers should be cautious of his shooting percentages.

Aaron Nesmith delivered a strong performance against the Timberwolves, scoring 18 points and making five three-pointers while adding eight rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes.

The extension runs through the 2028-29 season, providing Nesmith with stability as he continues to expand his role with the team. With Tyrese Haliburton sidelined, Nesmith’s offensive opportunities are set to increase, making him a valuable asset for fantasy managers seeking consistent contributions in points and defense.
