The Pacers’ injury woes continue to get worse and worse. They’ve ruled out LeVert for Thursday’s matchup vs. the Bucks due to a knee injury, and he’ll join Malcolm Brogdon, Edmond Sumner, and Jeremy Lamb on the sidelines. Myles Turner also remains out of the lineup due to a long-term injury, while Aaron Holiday is questionable. Holiday is a candidate to replace LeVert in the starting lineup if active, and the Pacers would be extremely thin in the backcourt if he’s ultimately ruled out.

Domantas Sabonis should continue to provide awesome fantasy value with the team being undermanned. He’s scored at least 52.1 FanDuel points in six of his past seven games, and he’s scored at least 67.8 FanDuel points in four of those contests. He’s taken over as the team’s primary playmaker with Brogdon out of the lineup, so he carries more assist upside than usual. Sabonis is already an elite producer in terms of points and rebounds, so that gives him tremendous appeal vs. the Bucks on Thursday.

The Pacers are also listed as 10-point home underdogs vs. the Bucks on FanDuel Sportsbook.
