McDermott (toe) is questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls, J. Michael of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott apparently emerged from Wednesday's loss to the Bucks with a toe injury, though he still finished with 16 points on six of eight shooting. He'll likely test the issue out during Friday's shootaround before a determination is made regarding his availability.

McDermott posted 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two steals, one rebound and one assist across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 119-100 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott was able to catch fire Wednesday, but the rest of his teammates weren't able to step up. He scored at least 16 points for the first time since Feb. 5, and his two steals represented a season high. McDermott remains a deadly three-point shooter, hitting 43.2 percent of his triples across the past 10 games, but he can't seem to crack the sort of minutes threshold that would make him relevant in fantasy.

McDermott scored 14 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT) in 14 minutes off the bench during Friday's 106-98 win at the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott didn't contribute in any other category aside from scoring and that has been case during most of the season. Even though he's a regular member of the rotation with a firmly entrenched role off the bench, McDermott needs to find a bit more consistency with his scoring touch. During his last 10 games, he has posted five double-digit efforts and five single-digit performances, averaging 11.2 points while shooting 49.4 percent from the field during that stretch.

McDermott scored 19 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding four rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 119-118 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
The journeyman forward continues to provide the Pacers with a consistent shooting threat from the outside. McDermott has drained multiple threes in seven of the last 13 games, averaging 14.2 points, 2.9 boards, 2.5 threes and 1.3 assists over that stretch, but his minutes could dwindle as Victor Oladipo shakes off his rust.

McDermott supplied 19 points (6-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist in 29 minutes Sunday against Portland.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott's now scored in double digits in six of his past seven games and is averaging 3.0 threes per contest at a 58.5 percent conversion rate during that span. While his shooting has certainly been impressive, McDermott remains unable to produce much elsewhere. His season-long averages of 10.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.0 threes and 1.1 assists per game make him a borderline play at best in standard formats.

McDermott posted 25 points (9-10 FG, 6-7 3Pt), two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 24 minutes in Friday's 129-118 win over the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott sunk six three-pointers for the second time this month, which helped crank the forward's scoring total up a notch. McDermott's found his way to 25 minutes on the court consistently throughout the season and is rounding out the month of January with some excellent stat lines due to his three-point prowess.

McDermott racked up 24 points (9-10 FG, 6-7 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes during Sunday's 115-107 win over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott finished with a career high in made threes and a season high in scoring. Furthermore, he has gotten significantly better at attacking the basket and finishing in close when the occasion calls for it, making himself much more dangerous. Having scored in double figures in four of the last five games, McDermott will try to stay hot heading into Monday's matchup versus the Jazz.

McDermott posted 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and eight rebounds in 23 minutes during Friday's 116-114 win over the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott finished with a season high in rebounding while scoring in double figures for the third time in the last four tilts. He's only a viable option in deeper leagues, but McDermott has been much more effective in this his second year with the Pacers, posting a career high in threes per game.

McDermott posted 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 22 minutes during Friday's 116-105 victory over the Bulls
EDGE Analysis
Friday marked one of McDermott's best games of the season, as he's scored 16 or more points just seven times this season. Plus, it was his first performance all year with one steal and one block. He's been a solid source of threes, with 24 performances with multiple triples, but that's about the only value he provides to a fantasy team on a regular basis.
