Season-high 23 points in defeat

Nembhard earned his sixth start of the season and handled the lead guard duties due to Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) still being sidelined. Nembhard now has two consecutive 20-plus-point outings and has connected on at least four three-pointers in three of his last four games. The Pacers will continue to rely on the 26-year-old to run the offense for as long as Haliburton is out.

Will play Sunday

Nesmith has been probable on Indiana's injury report for much of the campaign to this point, but he's been able to play through the ailment outside of him missing the season opener. He's yet to top 30 minutes of play, however, as the Pacers are opting to play it safe, with Nesmith only exceeding 22 minutes once in five appearances.

Ruled out Sunday

After missing Friday's 145-125 loss to the Heat, Toppin will miss his second straight contest due to lower back soreness. Sunday's matchup with Brooklyn is the first of a back-to-back set for Indiana, so the hope is that Toppin will be able to suit up on Monday. In his absence, Jarace Walker and Jalen Slawson should continue earning more minutes off the bench.
