Pacers' Jalen Smith (back) questionable Tuesday
Indiana Pacers center Jalen Smith (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics.
What It Means:
Smith started at center on Sunday versus the Memphis Grizzlies in place of Myles Turner (back), but both players are questionable for Tuesday's matchup. Isaiah Jackson could wind up starting if Turner and Smith are both inactive. Pascal Siakam would also likely see more run at the five.
Smith put up 39.0 FanDuel points in 30.1 minutes as a starter on Sunday. numberFire's models project him for 14.6 minutes and 16.0 FanDuel points if Turner is also active. Entering Monday's games, the Celtics are allowing the fifth-fewest FanDuel points per game to centers this season.
