Budinger contributed four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, and one assist in 12 minutes during the Pacers' 96-95 loss against the Hornets on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

After receiving zero minutes for five straight games between Jan. 30 and Feb. 8, Budinger has appeared in five of the last six contests. However, he has not eclipsed 12 minutes or made much of an impact during this recent stretch, and Budinger can safely be left on waiver wires in fantasy.
