McDermott poured 17 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and an assist across 25 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott has scored in double digits in 13 straight games and has clearly settled as one of the most reliable scoring threats in a depleted Pacers roster. The sharpshooter has also made at least one trey in 10 straight games and should remain a consistent offensive weapon for the Pacers come playoff time.

McDermott had 11 points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and five rebounds across 28 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott was one of three Indiana starters that scored in double digits in this one, and while his 11-point tally was tied for the lowest mark over his past seven appearances, he was extremely efficient and missed only one shot from the field. It's worth noting McDermott has scored in double digits in seven games in a row.

McDermott had 31 points (11-14 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT) in Saturday's win over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
With Myles Turner (toe) out indefinitely, and JaKarr Sampson (concussion) and Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) sidelined, McDermott moved into the starting five and posted his first 30-point effort of the season. McDermott's six three-pointers were also a season high, and he's now scored in double figures in five straight games.

McDermott will start Saturday's contest against the Thunder, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Pacers are still missing a variety of key players, so McDermott should continue seeing an expanded role, and he'll be inserted into the starting five for Saturday's game. Over the past four contests, he's averaged 15.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 22.5 minutes.

McDermott scored 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and added four rebounds along with four assists over 32 minutes Thursday in a loss to the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott seems to be a good bet to score in the teens, as he has fallen into that scoring range in four straight contests and in six of his past eight games overall. He stood out Monday for his peripheral stats, as he tied his season high with four dimes and also corralled four boards. The forward is averaging 13.1 points on the campaign and shooting a steady 52.6 percent from the field.

The ankle has caused McDermott to miss four of the last six games, but he'll play through any lingering soreness Sunday, as the Pacers finish out a back-to-back set. In Saturday's win over Detroit, McDermott went for 18 points, though he failed to hit a three-pointer for the third straight contest.

McDermott (ankle) will play Saturday against the Pistons, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott has been nursing a sprained ankle lately, but he'll be available Saturday with the Pacers down a variety of players. He could see minutes in the mid-20s if he's 100 percent healthy.

McDermott (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott missed Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City due to a sprained left ankle, but he has a chance to return Saturday. If McDermott is unable to play, Oshae Brissett, JaKarr Sampson and Kelan Martin should see increased run for the Pacers.
