Have seen a fantasy report today that Nesmith will be out Sunday vs. the Nuggets which is the first game of a back to back due to shin injury.

Pacers play Utah Jazz Monday.

Nesmith a big loss if we've hoping to play good defense.

Statistically our best defender is Nembhard.

Didn't expect a win in Denver but we hung in there without 2 starters.

[JMaster5K]

Statistically our best defender is Nembhard.

Over the last 11 games,. Since Nemhard and Nesmith were inserted into the starting lineup (usually both unless 1 of them was injured),.... The Pacers, who earlier in the year were 28th in the league in defensive rating,.. to 12th. Bringing our total year ranking up to 26th.
