Pacers' Andrew Nembhard (knee) out Wednesday
Indiana Pacers point guard Andrew Nembhard (knee) is out Wednesday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves.
What It Means:
Nembhard missed Monday's matchup and it led to increased production from T.J. McConnell and Aaron Nesmith. They both stand to benefit again Wednesday with Nembhard remaining out.
numberFire's models project McConnell for 20.1 minutes and 19.8 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he has a $3,900 salary on the Main slate. Nesmith ($4,200) is projected for 27.2 minutes and 20.5 FanDuel points. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Pacers' implied total (118.0) is No. 6 out of 24 active teams today and the matchup over/under (237.5) is the second-highest on the board. McConnell put up 46.0 FanDuel points in 31.6 minutes last game without Nembhard. Nesmith had 20.6 FanDuel points in 30.9 minutes.
