26/27 Oct. 28 Box Score Analysis (12 Games)

Andrew Nembhard (Pick Up): Nembhard is a short-term must-roster in all leagues. He’s just a borderline 12-team category and points league asset when Tyrese Haliburton is healthy. However, when Haliburton is out of the lineup, he can be a borderline top-100 player in both setups. He was very solid tonight, and in 2025-2026, when he was filling in for the All-Star, he averaged 16.9 PPG, 1.9 3PG, 7.7 APG, and 0.9 SPG.

Kelly Oubre (Pick Up in 14+ team leagues): Oubre is a nice short-term add in deeper settings. In 12-team leagues, he’s just a one- or two-game streamer. While Oubre has been a clear standard league asset in the past, he’s likely not going to be an option in 12-team leagues unless someone else goes down. His usage in Indiana has been fairly low. It’s sitting at just 17 percent. He also hasn’t been doing anything in steals, which is a problem, as he needs to be a plus contributor in steals to be even a top-125 option. Right now, he’s producing just 0.6 SP36.

Aaron Nesmith (Pick Up in 14+ team leagues): Nesmith posted a solid line tonight. We’ll take those points, threes, and steals. However, the minutes were lower than we’d like to see, and the shooting was terrible. The rough night from the field is not a surprise. Nesmith’s efficiency doesn’t hold up when Haliburton is out of the lineup. Last year made it very clear that he cannot function as a top option. He’s fine to add in 14-team leagues, but don’t drop anyone with a solid long-term outlook for the Pacer. In 12-team leagues, he’s just a one- or two-game streamer like Oubre is.
