Philadelphia 76ers guard Patrick Beverley (illness) is expected to be available on Thursday versus the Indiana Pacers, per head coach Nick Nurse.
Nurse said Beverley "should be okay" to return from a two-game absence after practicing on Wednesday. He played over 25 minutes in five of his last six games, compared to an average of 17.2 minutes in the 33 games before that. Danuel House and Furkan Korkmaz will have fewer minutes available if Beverley is cleared to return.
numberFire's models project Beverley for 24.8 minutes and 18.4 FanDuel points on Thursday. He averaged 22.5 minutes and only 10.4 FanDuel points in two previous matchups with the Pacers this season. Indiana is allowing the fifth-fewest FanDuel points per game to the point guard position.
