Sitting out Thursday
Nesmith (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Suns, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Analyse
Nesmith's next chance to play comes during the second half of Indiana's back-to-back set versus the Knicks on Friday. The swingman's absence opens the door for Ben Sheppard and Kam Jones to see significant playing time on the wing Thursday.

Iffy for Thursday
Nesmith is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Phoenix due to right ankle injury management.
Analyse
Nesmith's availability is up in the air for Thursday's contest, which is the opening leg of a back-to-back set. If he's given the night off, Ben Sheppard and Kam Jones could see an uptick in minutes.

Leads Pacers with 29 points
Nesmith accumulated 29 points (10-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the Kings.
Analyse
With Pascal Siakam (knee) and Andrew Nembhard (back) sidelined, the Pacers needed extra support. Nesmith stepped up and turned in his second-highest point total of the season in the narrow loss. It was a nice bounce-back for Nesmith, who was mired in a four-game slump where he failed to register double-digit scoring totals. This is an outlier total for Nesmith, who has exceeded 20 points only five times this season.

Available Sunday
Nesmith (ankle, back) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analyse
Nesmith will make third straight appearance despite battling ankle and back injuries. In his two games since returning from injury, he has averaged just 4.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks in 21.5 minutes per contest.

Probable for Sunday
Nesmith (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against Portland.
Analyse
Probable tags have been par for the course for Nesmith lately, so this isn't a major concern for fantasy managers. A maintenance day is likely to be in his near future, however, along with several other key Pacers.

Good to go vs. LAL
Nesmith (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Lakers.
Analyse
Nesmith was initially tagged as probable for Friday's contest due to a right ankle sprain, so it's no surprise that the sixth-year pro was given the green light to play in Los Angeles. That injury cost him five straight games in February, but Nesmith was cleared to return against the Clippers on Wednesday, when he played 20 minutes and finished with two points, three rebounds and two assists.
