| Mike Dunleavy (knee) scored 14 points in 21 minutes in his first game of the season as the Pacers defeated the Suns 113-110 on Wednesday. |
Our View: This was as good as anyone could have expected. Dunleavy has barely even practiced with his teammates, but he certainly familiar with them. He averaged 36 minutes in 82 games a season ago. |

| Danny Granger scored 37 points to lead the Pacers over the Suns in Phoenix on Wednesday. He also had six assists, five treys, five rebounds, four steals, and a block. |
Our View: Granger has shown that last season's dominance was no fluke. He has scored 35 or more in three straight games and 10 times this season. |
|
|
|
| T.J. Ford (back) is missing Wednesday's game against Phoenix due to his back, according to the Arizona Republic. This is the third game he has missed do to the injury. |
Our View: Jarrett Jack has played well in his place. The Pacers will not rush Ford back into action and there is no timetable for his return. |

Our View: Mike Dunleavy returned to action tonight which means Daniels' playing time is likely on the decline. |

| The Arizona Republic reports that Mike Dunleavy (knee) will come off the bench against the Suns on Wednesday. It will be his first game of the season. |
Our View: Dunleavy averaged 19.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and hit 165 three-pointers last season. Should he be able to play at full strength, he will likely take Marquis Daniels' spot in the starting lineup. |

|
| Marquis Daniels is questionable for Wednesday's game at Phoenix due to his groin injury, according to the Indianapolis Star. |
Our View: Daniels would be missed by the Pacers and fantasy owners if unable to go, while averaging 15.3 points, five boards, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per contest. |
|
|
|
| Mike Dunleavy is expected to make his 2008 debut Wednesday barring a setback in his recovery from a knee injury, according to the Indianapolis Star. |
Our View: He is progressing well, but will be limited upon his return, meaning he shouldn't be considered for fantasy lineups until he proves to be productive again. |
|
|
|
| Jarrett Jack had a solid performance on Monday, finishing with 17 points, seven assists, and two rebounds in 41 minutes. |
Our View: Jack has scored in double figures in his last four contests and is being snatched up in many fantasy leagues. |
|

|
| Danny Granger led the Pacers in scoring again on Monday with 36 points. He also recorded five rebounds and four assists. |

|
| Mike Dunleavy is nearing a return, according to Yahoo Sports. He says that he's day-to-day, but will be back soon. “I’ve been fortunate my entire career never to have had any injuries,” said Dunleavy. “This is new to me. I’ve just tried to roll with it, just get better each day.” |
Our View: Dunleavy should provide consistent three point shooting and scoring once he returns if his knee problems don't linger after he returns. |

| Danny Granger led the Pacers with 35 points in Saturday's 122-117 win over the Kings, with six boards, four assists and two blocks. |
