Jock Landale Exits with Left Hip Injury
Atlanta Hawks center Jock Landale (hip) was ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's 121-99 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans after suffering a hip pointer in the first quarter. Landale played just over a minute before heading to the locker room. Atlanta is already thin up front with Henri Veesaar (knee) and Mouhamed Gueye (foot) sidelined. Asa Newell took on more work after Landale exited and finished with 13 points, four rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes. If Landale misses Monday's game in Indiana, Newell should remain part of the frontcourt rotation behind Onyeka Okongwu.

Obi Toppin Iffy Against Brooklyn
Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets after missing Friday's loss to Miami with low back soreness. The 28-year-old has been one of Indiana's most productive reserves, averaging 15.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.2 threes in 22.8 minutes while shooting 53.8 percent from the field. Ivica Zubac (ankle) is still out, so getting Toppin back would give the Pacers some much-needed frontcourt scoring. If he sits again, Jarace Walker and Kobe Brown could pick up more minutes.

Gui Santos Expected to Play Sunday
Golden State Warriors forward Gui Santos (knee) is probable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Santos returned from knee tendinitis Friday against the Lakers and finished with two points, five rebounds, and one assist in 16 minutes. The 24-year-old is averaging 7.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in 22.4 minutes through five games. With Stephen Curry (rest) and Draymond Green (rest) both sitting, Golden State will need a little more from its supporting cast. Santos has shown he can handle a larger role before, averaging 14.8 points and 5.6 rebounds across 30 starts last season.

Aaron Nesmith Listed as Probable for Sunday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (hamstring) is probable for Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Nesmith has played through the hamstring issue in five straight games, logging between 19 and 27 minutes during that stretch. He finished Friday's loss to Miami with nine points, three rebounds, and two assists in 21 minutes while shooting 2-for-4 from the field. Indiana is still without Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring), T.J. McConnell (hamstring) and Ivica Zubac (ankle), so Nesmith should continue to have a steady place in the rotation. His fantasy value will mostly come from three-point shooting, but the minutes should be there while the Pacers remain short-handed.
