Budinger returned to the bench Wednesday against the Sixers, but had his best game of the season, scoring 15 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) to go with six rebounds, two blocks, an assist, and a steal.

EDGE Analysis

Budinger may not have started, but he still saw more minutes than all the starters except for Paul George thanks to this performance. Both the point and rebound totals were season highs as well. This performance may warrant another look in the starting lineup, but it appears that the Pacers will base his minutes off of his in-game performance each night regardless of whether he's starting or not.
