Brissett will come off the bench Friday against the Celtics, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Coach Rick Carlisle gave Brissett the start during Wednesday's win over the Raptors because the forward hails from Ontario. With the Pacers now in Boston, Brissett will come off the bench. Over his past eight appearances, he's averaged 8.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 19.0 minutes.

Pacers' Oshae Brissett: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Brissett will enter the starting lineup for Wednesday's game in Toronto, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
With the Pacers playing in Canada, Rick Carlisle will start his three Canadian players in Brissett, Andrew Nembhard, Bennedict Mathurin, while Buddy Hield and Myles Turner will join them. Brissett can be hit-or-miss, so he's not worth much more than a dart throw in daily fantasy leagues.

Pacers' Oshae Brissett: Coming off bench Saturday
Rotowire
Brissett will come off the bench Saturday against the Suns.
Coach Rick Carlisle will experiment with going small, starting three guards in Andrew Nembhard, T.J. McConnell and Buddy Hield. Brissett has seen double-digit minutes across the past nine games, averaging 5.6 points and 4.7 rebounds in 19.7 minutes.
Brissett supplied two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 16 minutes during Friday's 134-111 loss to the Nuggets.
Brissett moved into the starting lineup Friday yet failed to deliver anything remotely close to fantasy value. It's been a disappointing season thus far, struggling to get anything going, especially on the offensive end of the floor. He has scored double-digits only once in his past 10 games, adding very little outside of adequate rebound numbers. As a result, he is currently outside the top 300 for the season, which tells you everything you need to know about his fantasy value.

Pacers' Oshae Brissett: Active Saturday
Rotowire
Brissett (hamstring) will play in Saturday's matchup against the Grizzlies, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Brissett was tabbed questionable for Saturday's tilt due to soreness in his left hamstring after posting a double-double in 31 minutes Friday, but he will take the floor. With Aaron Nesmith (illness) back in action, Brissett should handle a smaller workload Saturday.
Brissett has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies due to left hamstring soreness.
Brissett posted a 17-point, 10-board double-double off the bench Friday, but it appears he also tweaked his hamstring a bit along the way. At this point, it's unclear if he will get an opportunity to follow up the season-best effort Saturday, but the team should provide more information on his status ahead of the 7 PM ET opening tip.

Pacers' Oshae Brissett: Double-doubles off bench
Rotowire
Brissett chipped in 17 points (7-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 113-111 loss to the Hawks.
Brissett returned following a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury, and he posted his second-best scoring mark of the campaign. Brissett was coming off six straight outings with seven or fewer points, though, so this outing may be more of an outlier as opposed to a sign of things to expect going forward. The former Syracuse standout will likely remain a bench option ahead of Saturday's matchup against Memphis.

Pacers' Oshae Brissett: Grabs 10 boards Sunday
Rotowire
Brissett totaled five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 victory over the Hornets.
Brissett grabbed a season-high 10 rebounds Sunday, logging at least 20 minutes for the second straight game. Despite playing in the majority of games this season, Brissett has been unable to produce at a consistent level. He currently sits well outside the top 300, making him a non-factor, even in deeper formats.

Pacers' Oshae Brissett: Scores 16 points in win
Rotowire
Brissett ended with 16 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 129-114 win over Atlanta.
Brissett has played more than 20 minutes just twice in his last 10 games, but he made the most of his limited run Tuesday, coming quite close to tying his season-best scoring mark. Indiana has all its key rotation players available at the moment, so Brissett is unlikely to move into a large enough role to give him lasting value in most 12- or even 14-team category leagues.

Pacers' Oshae Brissett: Eating into Jalen Smith's role
Rotowire
Brissett finished with 14 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT) and three rebounds before fouling out in 19 minutes during Saturday's 136-133 loss to the Nets.
Brissett's minutes have waxed and waned for most of the season, but he seems to be encroaching on Jalen Smith's playing time as the Pacers' starting power forward based on his string of recent performances. Over his first six appearances of December, Brissett has averaged 10.3 points (on 51.6 percent shooting from the field), 5.0 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers in 21.0 minutes. Smith, meanwhile, has averaged 18.0 minutes per game during that same stretch of action.

Pacers' Oshae Brissett: Produces in expanded role
Rotowire
Brissett ended with 14 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 112-104 victory over Golden State.
Brissett saw some extended run in this one, with Myles Turner (hamstring) ruled out for the game after being a late addition to the injury report. Brissett was unusually productive in the contest thanks to the extended run, drawing close to his first double-double of the campaign. While it's an excellent showing, Brissett shouldn't be counted on to consistently produce at this level. However, he could warrant a look in daily fantasy and season-long formats with daily changes if Turner misses additional action.

Pacers' Oshae Brissett: Scores 14 points in 18 minutes
Rotowire
Brissett recorded 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and one steal across 18 minutes during Friday's 99-91 victory over the Rockets.
Brissett landed a season-high 14 points in the win, connecting on four triples in the process. Prior to Friday, he had seen the court only eight times all season, highlighting the fact that this should be viewed as an outlier. He does have the ability to put up numbers when afforded significant playing time, so managers may want to keep an eye on his role in case injuries open the door to more minutes.

Rotowire
Brissett registered zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three rebounds across seven minutes during Monday's 120-106 loss to the 76ers.

The 24-year-old has appeared in only two of Indiana's first four games of the season and has played a total of 21 minutes.

Pacers' Oshae Brissett: Team option picked up
Rotowire
Brissett had his $1.8 million team option exercised by the Pacers on Wednesday, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Brissett started his final 24 appearances last season as Indiana committed to a rebuild. In those games, he averaged 14.0 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 30.9 minutes. It remains to be seen what will happen in free agency, but Brissett could again see a significant role. For now, it appears he'll be competing with T.J. Warren (foot) for the power forward spot.

The 23-year-old forward has reached at least 20 points four times in his last eight games, averaging 16.1 points, 7.4 boards, 2.1 assists, 2.1 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch.
