Stephenson finished with 24 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-12 FT), nine rebounds and eight assists in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 133-112 loss to the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

With the Pacers' blockbuster trade pending, Stephenson drew his first start of the season and didn't disappoint. The veteran forward registered at least 20 points, nine assists and eight rebounds for the first time this season, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with Atlanta's high-powered offense. Stephenson's role is likely to decrease significantly when Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield and Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) are all available.

Stephenson will start Tuesday's game against the Hawks, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Pacers down a myriad of players -- notably Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles), Caris LeVert (traded) and Domantas Sabonis (traded) -- Stephenson gets the nod for the first time all season. In the six games that he's seen at least 20 minutes, he's averaged 13.5 points, 6.8 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals.

Stephenson will remain with the Pacers for the rest of the season after agreeing to a contract Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. He had 14 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 119-118 loss to the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson originally joined Indiana on a 10-day contract Jan. 1, and he's remained with the team on subsequent 10-day deals over the past month. He's been a solid bench piece for the Pacers, and the team has now opted to keep him around for the rest of the campaign.

Stephenson notched 14 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds and 10 assists across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 158-126 loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson has now combined for 38 points over his previous three games after compiling just 17 points across 69 minutes in a four-game span prior. Stephenson has been a good story, not to mention boom-able fantasy contributor, at times this season, the Pacers are in a free fall. With a looming youth movement on the horizon, his rest-of-season upside is almost nonexistent.

Stephenson signed a second standard 10-day contract with the Pacers on Monday, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson will remain with Indiana for another week and a half, but the Pacers will need to make a decision whether to sign him to a contract for the rest of the season once this 10-day deal expires. The 31-year-old has averaged 9.5 points, 3.6 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 19.0 minutes per game across 11 appearances with Indiana.

Stephenson amassed 17 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 18 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson had slowed down over his past five games prior to Saturday, averaging only 3.4 points and 2.8 assists over 13.8 minutes. However, the veteran got hot offensively against the Suns, making seven of nine field-goal attempts to finish with his highest point total since Jan. 5. While Stephenson has shown that he still has something left in the tank, his playing time and production are too inconsistent to make him a viable fantasy asset.

Stephenson signed a 10-day contract with the Pacers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson had been with the Pacers on a pair of 10-day hardship deals since the start of January, but he'll now land a standard 10-day contract with the club. He's averaged 12.8 points, 5.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 23.8 minutes per game across his six appearances with Indiana.

Stephenson notched six points (3-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 119-100 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson made a solid impact overall, even in limited minutes. The 31-year-old struggled with his shot, but was a respectable minus-2 during his time on the floor despite a lopsided scoreline. Malcolm Brogdon aggravated his achilles injury Wednesday, potentially repaving the way for an increased role for Stephenson.

Stephenson signed a second 10-day contract with the Pacers on Tuesday, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson initially signed with the Pacers on Jan. 1 and has been a surprising revelation in his return to NBA action. In five games with Indiana, the veteran forward is averaging 14.2 points, 5.0 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 24.4 minutes, including three straight games in double figures. If he can keep this production up, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Pacers lock Stephenson down for the remainder of the season.

Stephenson supplied 16 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 assists, six rebounds and four steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's 125-113 victory over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson was coming off a 30-point performance against the Nets on Jan. 5, and while he was unable to repeat those scoring figures, he managed to post a season-high mark in assists en route to his first double-double of the campaign. The veteran guard is not going to perform as he's done it over his last two games on a steady basis, but he could be a viable bench player for Indiana. He's averaging 6.8 points, 3.5 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game across his 10 appearances this season between Atlanta and Indiana.
