Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard is out against the Pistons with a thoracic spine sprain and guard Bennedict Mathurin is out with an illness.

Mathurin (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

Mathurin (illness) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons. After a 13-point performance in Saturday's blowout win against the Spurs, Mathurin might not be able to get on the floor Wednesday against Detroit because of an illness.

Bennedict Mathurin bumped Natalie Sago while complaining about a foul call and has been suspended one game without pay

This is only a one-game suspension, so Mathurin will be back on Saturday for the game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Pacers are going to need him for as many games as possible because of the scoring and rebounding he brings to the roster. So far this season, Mathurin is averaging 16.5 points, six points, and two assists per game.

The Indiana Pacers have been on a roll lately and are currently the fifth team in the East with a 26-20 record. But just because they have gone 8-2 in their last 10 games doesn’t mean they won’t participate in a trade before next week’s deadline.

The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to be very active ahead of the February 6th trade deadline. With a 26-19 record and a team that has very much overachieved this season, their roster is in a prime position to be improved.

Playing 35 minutes off the bench, Alexander-Walker scored a season-high 23 points with four rebounds, one assist, and five 3-pointers. He shot 8-of-14 from the field and 2-of-2 from the line, and the five 3-pointers were one shy of his career-high.

Pascal Siakam had a season high 37 points, Tyrese Haliburton added 30 and the host Indiana Pacers fought off a strong challenge to defeat the Detroit Pistons 133-119 Wednesday night in Indianapolis.

The next game the Pacers play is tonight against the Pistons. Despite not having played for three full days, Nembhard found himself on the injury report prior to the game. Nembhard was listed as questionable due to a thoracic spine sprain and has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup. He will be out for this game.
