Scored 16 in the first half, showing scoring punch and an active floor presence, helping pace Indiana’s early offense in a game where heavy minutes went to youth due to injuries.

Mathurin brings scoring punch and athletic finishing, expected to anchor Indiana’s second-unit scoring bursts and contribute opportunistic production when Nesmith and Nembhard create.

Mathurin gets a breakout moment as Haliburton’s injury creates a scoring opportunity and a chance to anchor the Pacers’ offense. With a proven 20.7 PPG over 87 career 30+ minute games, he has the tools to deliver elite fantasy numbers if given a larger role and stable health.

Mathurin remains a high-upside scorer with growing versatility; his fantasy value depends on how quickly he expands his playmaking and efficiency.

Mathurin epitomizes the BWB pipeline’s payoff—a young scorer with two-way potential who fits Indiana’s rebuild and offers immediate fantasy relevance, especially as he evolves into a more complete offensive package.
