Jay Huff 2026-27 Season Outlook — Backup Rim Protector with Floor-Spacing Upside

Entering his sixth NBA season with the Pacers, Jay Huff serves as the primary backup center behind starter Ivica Zubac on the depth chart. After playing all 82 games last year, the 29-year-old veteran provides steady frontcourt depth with his distinct blend of rim protection and floor spacing.

Our projections expect Huff to average 14.2 minutes and 14.2 fantasy points per game across 73 contests. Even in limited playing time, he delivers standout defensive value, projected for 1.2 blocks and 7.2 points while shooting an efficient 36.5% from beyond the arc.

Given Zubac's firm hold on starting duties, Huff's fantasy appeal is restricted to deep formats, reflected in his modest 3% roster rate. Nevertheless, his rare shot-blocking prowess and three-point capability make him a premier specialist streamer whenever Indiana faces favorable matchups or injuries arise.
