EDGE Analysis
He missed a chance to win the game at the end of regulation, but Ellis came right back and scored the Pacers' final five points in overtime to secure the win. He closes the books on a strong January in which he averaged 17 points and six assists a game while also chipping in 3.2 boards, 1.9 steals and 1.3 threes, and the team is now 6-1 on the season when he's their leading scorer. Indiana's offense still flows through Paul George, but expect Ellis' usage to continue trending up.
