McDermott scored 28 points (12-22 FG, 1-5 3PT, 3-3 FT) to go along with five rebounds across 28 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott moved to the bench as Jeremy Lamb entered the starting five. However, that didn't stop him from dropping a season-high 28 points. He didn't reach that mark in typical fashion, as he shot poorly from beyond the arc and instead relied on his finishing close to the basket. Even after maintaining a heavy workload, McDermott chipped in very little elsewhere in the box score, leaving him as an inconsistent and empty points producer.

McDermott is coming off the bench Wednesday against the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

With Jeremy Lamb playing well and moving into the starting five, McDermott will be relegated to a bench role. In 12 games coming off the bench this season, McDermott is averaging 11.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 23.5 minutes.

McDermott tallied 13 points (5-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes in Friday's 120-118 overtime win over the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Even with the return of Myles Turner (hand), McDermott cracked the starting lineup for the third straight game and was tied for the team lead in three-pointers made. Since his insert into the starting lineup, McDermott is averaging 17.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 34 minutes per game.

McDermott went for 16 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 124-112 loss to the Mavs.

EDGE Analysis

It was McDermott's second consecutive start with Myles Turner (hand) out and he nearly recorded a double-double but had his second worst shooting performance when shooting the ball 10 or more times. While his shot wasn't falling Wednesday, McDermott is averaging over 18 points per game over his last three outings. However, his impact could be hindered depending on how the Pacers handle Turner's injury.

McDermott recored 23 points (9-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt), two assists and one rebound in Sunday's 129-96 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott moved into the starting lineup with Myles Turner (hand) sidelined and was able to turn in a strong shooting night, but it wasn't enough for the Pacers to keep pace with the Clippers in the blowout loss. Turner's status is uncertain heading into the upcoming week and the newly-acquired Caris LeVert (kidney) is out indefinitely, so McDermott could benefit from a boost in playing time on the heels of Sunday's performance.

McDermott will start Sunday's game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

With Myles Turner out, the Pacers will shift Domantas Sabonis up to center, while McDermott enters the lineup at power forward. McDermott had 16 points, three rebounds and three assists off the bench in Thursday's win over Portland.

McDermott produced 16 points (6-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes in Thursday's 111-87 win over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott's numbers won't change much with the arrival of Caris LeVert. The forward has proven to be the most effective placeholder for T.J. Warren, and one should expect steady production until he returns. In the short term, he's a valuable waiver wire pickup for teams in need of a forward.

McDermott ended with 21 points (8-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 127-122 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott had the hot hand on Monday, dropping a season-high 21 points. This is about as good as it gets for McDermott, who currently sits just inside the top-200 in standard leagues. If Victor Oladipo sits out Tuesday, McDermott could get another opportunity to jack up a few shots. In normal circumstances, he is not worth a look outside of deeper formats.

McDermott (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Suns, Jeremiah Johnson of Fox Sports Indiana reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite a sprained ankle, McDermott will take the court Saturday. This season, he's averaging 10.9 points and 3.8 rebounds in 23.5 minutes.

McDermott (ankle) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Considering coach Nate Bjorkgren revealed earlier in the day that McDermott practiced Friday and is expected to play against the Suns, his questionable listing is a bit of a puzzler. Given the statement from the coach, however, it seems a better than not chance McDermott will avoid missing additional action due to the ankle issue suffered Wednesday versus the Rockets.
