EDGE Analysis

The veteran received his lowest amount of minutes since Dec. 12 versus the Pistons, but still turned in a very productive performance relative to his modest time on the court. Ellis appears to have finally settled into a comfortable groove in Indiana's system during the month of January, during which he's averaging 16.0 points, 6.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds. He's also been hot from the field lately, shooting 50 percent or better in three of his last four contests.
