EDGE Analysis

McDermott saw a career-high 37 minutes of burn on Wednesday in the Bulls' blowout loss. McDermott was also only one point away from matching his career-high in scoring, which he set back on Nov. 9 versus the 76ers. Though he is highly unlikely to see anywhere near this many minutes on a nightly basis, the injury to Jimmy Butler (knee) opens up more playing time for McDermott. He has scored in double figures in four of the last five games, but McDermott does little else to warrant much attention in fantasy.
