  10D ago • By RotoWire

  McConnell recorded 30 points (14-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, six assists, two blocks and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 113-109 loss to the Hornets. McConnell couldn't find his shooting touch from downtown, but he hit just about every other shot from inside the arc to lead the Pacers' scoring attack. The Arizona product also turned in a strong effort on the defensive end, marking the first time since Nov. 27 that he's collected at least one steal and one block in a game. McConnell continues to provide plenty of value for fantasy managers, now averaging 18.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.4 steals over his last five appearances.

• Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Strong production continues

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  McConnell totaled 17 points (8-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Friday's 132-123 victory over the Bulls. McConnell was productive once again despite coming off the bench, scoring double-digit points for the fifth consecutive game. Although his assist and steal numbers typically garner most of the attention, McConnell's ability to score the ball efficiently from the point guard position shouldn't be overlooked. He has shot at least 54 percent from the field in each of the past two seasons and is once again on track to replicate that, currently going at a career-best 56.2 percent across the first 23 games.

McConnell has recorded at least 15 points in three outings this year, and Sunday marked the first time he generated at least 15 points, four rebounds and four assists in the same game. The guard has now reached double figures in scoring in six of his last eight contests.

• Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Close to double-double in loss

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  McConnell closed with 12 points (6-8 FG), two rebounds, eight assists, one block and three steals across 21 minutes during Friday's 129-117 loss to the Bucks. McConnell extended his streak of games with double-digit points to three while also ending just two assists away from what would've been his first double-double of the season. McConnell doesn't need to start to be reliable in most fantasy formats, and he remains one of the most productive second-unit guards in the league. The veteran is averaging 10.8 points, 5.0 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game across 10 bench appearances since the beginning of November.
