Key Storylines

Spurs have no shortage of options: With Jeremy Sochan (back) listed as questionable for Thursday’s match and being the only doubt in San Antonio’s cast to be present against the Pacers, there’s a healthy amount of options for you to stream this week: Stephon Castle is the headliner of the group but he’s not available everywhere, as his roster percentage is creeping up. Harrison Barnes has been the most consistent forward as of late, with Keldon Johnson and Julian Champagnie being other decent choices.

If Sochan is set to come back against Indiana, the Spurs will likely limit his minutes for a while, but once he’s off those, he should be the main forward in that lineup, so a speculative add is a smart mid-to-long term move if he gets to play.

The forward situation in Indiana: With Aaron Nesmith back from a long ankle injury, expect Indiana’s rotation to be a bit clunky with their forwards while he’s getting back to rhythm and the choices off the bench are more vast than before. As the Pacers rotations is fully healthy as of right now, they don’t have a the most reliable cast of streamers possible, but the choices are solid enough to be a good pickup for your weekly matchup.

Stream of the Game

The Rookie of the Year candidate Castle and veteran Harrison Barnes are my top choices for this game, with the guard-duo of Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell coming as a close second. Castle could lose a little appeal if Sochan returns though.

Alternatives: Keldon Johnson (points, rebounds), Julian Champagnie (points, 3s, rebounds), Obi Toppin, Aaron Nesmith (points, rebounds, steals).
