Massive workload in loss
Thompson provided 18 points (5-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to the Pistons.
Analyse
With most of Indiana's regular rotation on the shelf, Thompson saw a ton of minutes to close out the regular season. Thompson ended his rookie campaign with 32 NBA appearances under his belt, posting averages of 7.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 20.4 minutes per contest.

Scores 15 points, stuffs stat sheet
Thompson closed with 15 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Friday's 105-94 loss to the 76ers.
Analyse
Thompson went from being a two-way player to a regular starter down the stretch, but the uptick in role is tied to the Pacers playing without their regulars due to rest or minor injuries. Still, Thompson has taken advantage of the opportunity, and this was the third straight game in which he reached the 15-point threshold. With 15 or more points in four of his last six games, look for Thompson to have a sizable workload in the regular-season finale against the Pistons on Sunday, which should boost his fantasy appeal across all formats.

Sees massive workload in win
Thompson totaled 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists and one block across 37 minutes during Thursday's 123-94 victory over Brooklyn.
Analyse
With the Pacers sitting most of their key players for the front end of this back-to-back set, Thompson saw heavy run with the starters. He's averaging 29.4 minutes over his last seven games with 11.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.9 three-pointers.

Scores 17 points in loss
Thompson supplied 17 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 124-104 loss to the Timberwolves.
Analyse
Thompson has been one of several role players who have been experiencing an uptick in playing time for the Pacers, but he hasn't done much with increased minutes. He's started in four of his last five appearances dating back to March 29, but he's averaging just 10.4 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists on 26.2 minutes per game over that stretch. He might merit some consideration in deep formats because he's been starting regularly, but he doesn't carry a ton of fantasy upside overall.
