Despite his inconsistent production on a game-to-game basis, McConnell is averaging 10.3 points, 5.1 assists, 1.8 boards and 1.3 steals in 18.3 minutes over 12 contests in January.

The Pacers elected to sit McConnell down for Saturday's matchup to give him a breather, but he'll be back on the court Monday. He's been a bit sluggish lately, averaging 7.0 points in 17.3 minutes in his previous three appearances.

McConnell won't play in Saturday's game against the Pistons due to left knee/elbow injury management.

McConnell will take a seat for the second half of team's back-to-back along with a good majority of Indiana's key contributors. Look for Kam Jones, Quenton Jackson and Ethan Thompson to step up in the backcourt as a result.

McConnell amassed eight points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine assists and two rebounds in 16 minutes during Friday's 127-119 win over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
McConnell put up single-digit shot attempts for a third consecutive game but was efficient in his limited opportunities. The veteran point guard was impressive as a playmaker, finishing one assist shy of the game-high mark set by Andrew Nembhard. According to Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star, McConnell became just the second player in NBA history to record at least 3,000 career assists off the bench Friday and is now averaging 5.1 per game across 30 regular-season appearances. Lou Williams is the only other player to achieve that feat.

McConnell recorded five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 FT) and five assists across 15 minutes during Monday's 98-96 victory over the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
McConnell came up short in the win, delivering arguably his worst performance in almost a month. Prior to Monday, the veteran had been playing well, despite continuing to see limited minutes. A performance like this is a reminder that he shouldn't be considered a must-roster player but more of a streaming option for assists and steals.

McConnell closed with 23 points (10-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and four steals across 28 minutes during Thursday's 114-112 victory over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
McConnell stuffed the stat sheet in Thursday's win over the Hornets, setting a season high in points and steals while matching his high-water mark for assists. The 33-year-old guard saw an uptick in minutes with Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) sidelined and put up his best performance of the season. McConnell is averaging 12.1 points, 5.7 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals over 19 minutes per contest in his last nine games.

McConnell registered 10 points (5-9 FG), four rebounds and five assists over 21 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 loss to the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
With Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) expected to be sidelined for a while, McConnell could see his workload trend up into the low 20s. He's generally a strong source of assists and steals on efficient shooting when the minutes are there, and it looks like they will be.
