McDermott is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls due to a sore right knee.

EDGE Analysis

The hope is that McDermott won't miss any time, but his status is in some jeopardy after he emerged from Saturday's win over the Hawks with soreness in his knee. McDermott finished that game with three three-pointers on his way to 26 points in a season-high 37 minutes.

McDermott delivered 26 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes in Saturday's 125-113 win at Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott has started back-to-back games ahead of Jeremy Lamb. Saturday's start allowed the Creighton product to score 26 points, his highest points tally as a starter for the Pacers this season. If McDermott's lineup spot is legitimate, he could bring more value to fantasy owners in future games. McDermott is averaging 6.8 minutes and 1.8 points more as a starter this season.

McDermott will start in Thursday's game against the Pistons, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott will replace Jeremy Lamb in the starting lineup thanks to his solid play of late. It will mark the 29-year-old's sixth start of the season. McDermott has averaged 13.6 points on 53.7 percent shooting, 5.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 triples per game over the last five contests.

McDermott had 18 points (8-14 FG, 0-3 3PT, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in Sunday's loss to Utah.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott contributed to the Pacers' struggles from beyond the arc, but he still managed a respectable line and finished with a positive plus-minus in his 32 minutes. McDermott has now scored in double-figures in six of his last seven games. Even so, he's a relatively unattractive fantasy option given that he adds almost nothing in terms of assists, steals, or blocks.

McDermott (back) played in 33 minutes off the bench and scored 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists in the Pacers' 114-113 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Despite coming off the bench, McDermott played more than each starter with the exception of Justin Holiday. Yet, he took fewer shots than each starter outside of Jeremy Lamb. Overall, McDermott has seen his playing time increase in five straight games and his four three-pointers made were equal to what he had made over his previous six games combined.

McDermott (back), in 29 minutes, totaled 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and one assist during Wednesday's 130-110 loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Despite dealing with a lower back contusion and coming off the bench, McDermott was on the floor more than any starter outside of Domantas Sabonis. He was also second on the team in field goals made, again behind Sabonis. McDermott's shot has been falling of late, making 59.6 percent of his shots over his last five games.

McDermott (thumb/back) won't return to Friday's game against Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

He recorded 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and six rebounds over 17 minutes prior to his departure. It's not yet clear whether he'll be healthy enough to return Sunday against the 76ers.
