Watson (foot) was in the starting lineup during Friday's win over the Boston Celtics, finishing with 15 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, and a steal in 32 minutes.

Watson came into this game questionable with a foot injury, but it's not surprising he was able to play a full minutes load considering he played in Wednesday's game against the Warriors without any problems. As long as George Hill (groin) stays sidelined with his injury, Watson will most likely see more minutes than his 26.7 minutes per game average he's had up until this point in the season. As soon as Hill returns, he'll probably play more in the mid-twenties in minutes and return to a bench role. He's averaging 10.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 0.9 steals per game.

Watson (foot) will play against the Celtics on Friday.

Watson has been listed as questionable into his last two games but has continued on to play.

Watson is questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics.

Watson played Wednesday against the Warriors despite being a game-time call, so it seems likely he will be good to go again Friday.

Watson (foot) will play Wednesday against the Warriors.

Watson (foot) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's game.

Watson has a sore left foot, which appears to be nothing serious, but it could keep him out of action Wednesday. If that's the case, Donald Sloan would likely fill in as the starting point guard with George Hill (groin) already ruled out.

Watson had nine points to go with one block and one steal in 27 minutes Monday after missing the previous two games with a foot injury.

Donald Sloan, who started in Watson's absence, logged 22 minutes Monday, but only mustered five points. It seems as though Watson and Sloan will split time as long as George Hill is out.

Watson (foot) will not be available for Sunday's game against the Lakers, the Indianapolis Star reports.

George Hill (groin) has been ruled out, so Watson will likely get the start, if he is able to play.

Watson had a very full line Saturday, scoring 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt) with nine rebounds, five assists and three steals in 30 minutes.

Watson has been productive filling in for George Hill, but now that Hll has assumed his spot his spot in the starting lineup, these sort of nights for Watson will decrease in frequency. As Hill's minutes go up, expect a corresponding decrease in Watson's, but he still may have one or two more solid games in while Hill regains full fitness.

Watson (illness) returned to the starting lineup Sunday after missing a game, only to score just seven points (3-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in 29 minutes.

This was just Watson's 12th game of the season, so it's certainly possible he's still working some things out, considering he missed the first month of the season with a foot injury. This month, Watson is shooting just 41 percent, and is probably only worth using in deeper leagues for now, especially with a George Hill return inevitable.

Watson (illness) will return and start Sunday against the Timberwolves, Candace Buckner of the Indianapolis Star reports.

An illness kept Watson out of action Saturday in Denver, but he's feeling better and will get the start at point guard Sunday evening.

Watson is averaging 15.0 points, 4.3 assists and 1.5 3Pt per game over his last four games. He has been decent for owners who have snagged him while George Hill (quad) remains out. George Hill will return shortly, but this team has a lineup as fluid as a glass of water. Without Paul George, the Pacers have been miserable and searching for a scoring boost. If Watson maintains 15.0 points per game, he will certainly find a place in the lineup.

Watson (illness) will start at point guard Wednesday night against the Clippers, Candace Buckner of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Watson was tagged with a questionable status after missing Wednesday morning's shootaround, as he was dealing with the symptoms of a sinus infection.

Watson has increased his fantasy stock in each of his last three games and now that he is getting the starting job he is producing. It is safe to play Watson in the short term while this team shuffles the lineup until George Hill returns, but that won't be for a few more weeks.

Watson scored 13 points (5-14 FG, 2-5 3P, 1-1 FT) with four assists, three rebounds and a steal in 30 minutes during Friday's loss to the Raptors.

The point guard figures to get a good run as a starter while the Pacers wait for George Hill (quad) to return to action, so Watson is worth consideration if you're in need of some back court depth.
