Indiana Pacers point guard Andrew Nembhard (illness) is questionable for Wednesday against the Orlando Magic.
Nembhard might miss both halves of the Pacers' back-to-back due to a non-COVID illness. That would result in additional opportunities again for the likes of T.J. McConnell, Buddy Hield, Chris Duarte, and Bennedict Mathurin. McConnell had a 20-point double-double on Tuesday and Mathurin tied Myles Turner with a team-high 26 points. Hield filled up the box score with 19 points, 5 boards, 4 assists, 4 steals, 3 blocks, and 4 triples.
numberFire's models project Nembhard for 29.1 minutes and 23.4 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he has a $5,200 salary on the Main slate. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Pelicans’ implied total (114.0) is No. 17 out of 20 active teams today.
