Bennedict Mathurin Injury Update: Bucks vs. Pacers Game 5

NBA DraftKings Network News

By: Ciaran Doyle

Pacers SG Bennedict Mathurin is listed as questionable for Tuesday’s Game 5 vs. the Bucks with an abdominal injury. It’s the same injury that caused him to miss the Game 4 win in Milwaukee.

Now, the Pacers have a chance to close out the series at home, and they will hope to do it with the help of one of their most prolific scorers. On the season, Mathurin is averaging 16.1 points per game off the bench.

The Bucks have injury concerns of their own, but the Pacers are in a good spot with only Mathurin and Aaron Nesmith (back) on the injury report. Nesmith is listed as probable after playing 25 minutes in Game 4.

On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Pacers are 7.5-point favorites with the total set at 223.
