Questionable for Monday
Nembhard is still dealing with lower-back soreness, though he was able to shed his questionable tag and play in Saturday's win over Miami. If the fourth-year point guard is ultimately ruled out, T.J. McConnell, Quenton Jackson and Ben Sheppard are candidates to see an uptick in minutes. Over four outings this month, Nembhard has averaged 20.8 points, 9.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 32.5 minutes per game.

Not playing Monday
Mathurin is set to miss a fifth consecutive game while recovering from a sprained right thumb. His next chance to play is Wednesday against the Raptors, but the fourth-year forward lacks a clear timeline for a return. Johnny Furphy should continue to start for the Pacers in Mathurin's absence.

Just misses double-double in win
The 26-year-old forward likely would have recorded his first double-double of the season in a more competitive contest, but he didn't see the court again after exiting late in the third quarter with the Pacers up by 26. Nesmith rejoined the starting five at the beginning of January and has quickly found his form, scoring at least 12 points in four straight games and averaging 16.8 points, 6.5 boards, 4.0 assists, 3.0 threes and 1.3 combined blocks and steals in 32.3 minutes.
