EDGE Analysis

With George Hill sidelined from Monday's game with food poisoning, and C.J. Miles leaving with a shoulder injury after the first quarter, Ellis assumed the lion's share of minutes in Indiana's backcourt. Coming one assist shy of his first double-double of the season, Ellis' 2015-16 numbers have underwhelmed compared to his previous two seasons with the Mavericks.
