McDermott (knee) scored three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt) in 13 minutes during Saturday's 116-111 win over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott rejoined the rotation following a one-game absence due to knee soreness. However, he was mostly a non-factor, finishing with as many fouls as points in limited minutes. McDermott is capable of producing double-digit scoring nights despite his modest reserve role. Still, he's primarily a three-point specialist.

McDermott (knee) is questionable for Saturday's contest against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott was a late scratch Thursday due to right knee soreness, but he could make a return Saturday. With T.J. Warren (foot) and Myles Turner (ankle) also questionable, the Pacers could be extremely thin in the frontcourt.

McDermott is a late scratch for Thursday's game against the Suns due to a sore right knee.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott will miss his first game of bubble play Thursday. He's seen 16.3 minutes per game, and with him out, those minutes could funnel to Edmond Sumner, Jakarr Sampson and/or T.J. Leaf, though nothing may be actionable in DFS.

McDermott went for 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 118-111 scrimmage loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott got hot from beyond the arc and had an efficient scoring night. If Victor Oladipo (knee) opts to sit out the official games and Domantas Sabonis (foot) is ruled out for a significant amount of time, that could result in a bit more playing time for McDermott. However, he generally contributes very little outside of the three-point shooting department.
