McDermott posted seven points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3PT, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and three assists in Sunday's 108-95 win against the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

In the first six games of the season, McDermott is currently converting on 32.4 percent of his field goals and 33.3 percent of his three-point shots, both well below his career averages (45.7 FG percentage and 40.3 three-point percentage). If the 27-year-old keeps up the poor shooting it is possible that the team might decrease his minutes in favor of other players including T.J. Leaf, who recorded a double-double (13 points, 15 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block) in the game Sunday.

McDermott compiled 14 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), and two rebounds in 16 minutes during Friday's 105-87 preseason victory over the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott took advantage of an understrength opponent, comming away with 14 points in 16 minutes. This is certainly not going to be the norm for McDermott who is unlikely to feature heavily in the Pacers rotation. Even when he is on the floor he really only contributes in two categories making him hard to roster, even in deeper formats.

McDermott will start Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott will get the start at small forward in Wednesday's season finale against Atlanta. In 76 games this season, the Creighton product's averaging 7.3 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.1 threes in 17.2 minutes.

McDermott had 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, and one assist in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 115-109 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott came away with 17 points on 8-of-12 shooting Tuesday, his second straight game in double-digits. McDermott is about as one-dimensional a player as you will find in the league, evidenced by his combined three rebounds and one assist over the same period. He is not worth considering in standard formats unless injuries allow him to move into a larger role as was the case Tuesday.

McDermott tallied 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt) and one rebound in 17 minutes off the bench Monday in the Pacers' 106-98 loss to the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott rode his hot shooting from distance to his best scoring effort since Dec. 1 against the Sacramento, illustrating the lack of scoring he typically offers. Further hindering McDermott's fantasy upside is the fact that he rarely contributes in other categories in games where he's shooting well from the field or beyond the arc. He has maxed out at six rebounds and four assists for the season and has tallied 15 steals and seven blocks across his 66 appearances.

McDermott compiled 10 points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and a rebound across 15 minutes Sunday against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott shot the ball well from the field but was unable to provide contributions in other categories outside of his one rebound. Sunday marked the 27-year-old's first time in double figures since Feb. 23, and he typically isn't on the floor long enough to do much damage off the bench.

McDermott had six points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one assist in 11 minutes during Monday's 99-90 win over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott returned to the lineup following a five-game absence with a rib injury. However, there were eight Pacers who saw more minutes. Given that McDermott rarely sticks out on a team that's pretty loaded with depth at every position, the 27-year-old forward is only worth targeting in the deepest formats.

McDermott (ribs) is available to play Monday against the Hornets, J. Michael of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott (ribs) will be a game-time decision for MOnday's game against the Hornets, J. Michael of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott has missed the past five games with a rib injury, however he seems to be nearing a comeback. If he does return, McDermott could see a decreased role, as the Pacers recently added Wesley Matthews, who will likely see a large role on the wing. More information on McDermott's status should come out following Monday's morning shootaround.

McDermott (ribs) won't play in Saturday's tilt with the Cavaliers, Scott Agness of The Athletic reports.
