McDermott tallied 15 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and three assists over 37 minutes in Thursday's 103-100 victory over the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott benefited from a wealth of playing time once Derrick Rose (elbow) exited after only 12 minutes, posting his ninth double-digit scoring effort of March. The Creighton product had cooled off in recent games, having posted single-digit outings in four of the previous five contests. If Rose is forced to miss any additional games during the season's final days, McDermott could certainly be a worthy addition in any fantasy format.
