Quenton Jackson
IND • Guard • #29
Quenton Jackson led the Pacers with 21 points (7-of-17 FGs), seven rebounds, two assists and four steals in a 126-118 double overtime win over the Cavaliers on Sunday.
Jackson had a short stretch as a starter in November, but he has spent most of the year on the bench or in the G League. However, he got the chance to take on extra minutes in the regular season finale and took advantage of his opportunity. The 26-year-old went undrafted in 2022 and seems to have finally found a home with the Pacers, though his role isn’t a friendly one for fantasy basketball. He won’t be part of the team’s rotation during the playoffs.

Tony Bradley recorded a double-double on Sunday with 14 points (6-of-13 FGs), 14 rebounds, one assist and five blocks against the Cavaliers.
Bradley played out two 10-day contracts with Indiana before signing a deal that kept him with the Pacers for the rest of this season. He has played more than 10 minutes in just three games this season and has averaged 12 points, 10.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game across them. Bradley is a decent depth piece, but both Myles Turner and Thomas Bryant will be in front of him on the depth chart for minutes at center during the postseason.
Obi Toppin

Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Jarace Walker, Obi Toppin and Myles Turner will start against the Cavaliers on Sunday.
Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam are out again, but Nembhard, Nesmith and Turner will be back for the regular season finale. This won’t impact the standings, so they may not play many minutes. Toppin and Walker started on Friday and will remain in the opening lineup against Cleveland. Thomas Bryant and T.J. McConnell will come off the bench for this game, but they should still play significant roles.

Ben Sheppard (toe) is out for Sunday’s game against the Cavaliers.
Sheppard will miss a fifth straight game to end the regular season. With the Pacers locked into the fourth seed in the East, Johnny Furphy and Quenton Jackson are two players who should see plenty of time against the Cavaliers. The former is coming off the best game of his rookie season in Friday’s loss to the Magic and is worth a dice roll in active deep leagues.

Anthony Black

Anthony Black played 28 minutes in Tuesday’s win over the Hawks, amassing 16 points (6-of-7 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three three-pointers.
Orlando’s starting backcourt of Cory Joseph and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope combined to score 14 points on 4-of-14 shooting from the field. Black was one of two reserves to pick up the slack, combining with Cole Anthony to score 42 points on 16-of-24 shooting. The second-year guard scored 41 points in Orlando’s final two regular-season games, likely boosting his confidence ahead of the Play-In tournament. Tuesday’s victory means Black and the Magic will be the seventh seed in the East, and they’ll face the reigning champion Celtics in the first round. Game 1 is set for Sunday in Boston.

Cole Anthony shot 10-of-17 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Tuesday’s win over the Hawks, scoring 26 points with three rebounds, five assists and four three-pointers in 20 minutes.
On a night when starting guards Cory Joseph (5/5/2 with one three-pointer) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (nine points, two assists, one block and one three-pointer) combined to shoot 4-of-14 from the field, the Magic received vital contributions from both “Anthonys.” Cole shot well over 50 percent from the field in scoring his 26 points. His highlights included a 4-of-6 fourth quarter in which he made three three-pointers. Anthony Black also had a big night off the bench, but Cole is the more capable scorer. And he’ll need to play to this level consistently if the Magic are to have a chance of upsetting Boston in the first round. Game 1 is on Sunday.
