• Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Comes close to double-double

  12H ago • By RotoWire

  McConnell ended Saturday's 128-109 loss to the Pelicans with 16 points (8-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 18 minutes. McConnell made the most of his minutes off the bench, missing just two shots overall and ending just two assists away from a double-double. The veteran point guard scored in double digits coming off the bench for the ninth time this season, and the eight assists tied his season-high output. McConnell should remain a steady presence off the bench, but his second-unit role limits his fantasy upside considerably.

• Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Logs 15 points off bench

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  McConnell logged 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and two steals across 17 minutes during Friday's 115-105 loss to the 76ers. McConnell bounced back Friday night after shooting just 3-for-12 from the field over his past two games. The 33-year-old guard collected his third game this season with at least 15 points and five assists, while continuing to be a menace defensively with a pair of steals. The veteran's ceiling is capped by his lack of consistent playing time, averaging just 14.0 minutes over the past five games.

• Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Woeful in victory Monday

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  McConnell racked up four points (2-9 FG), one rebound and three assists over 16 minutes during Monday's 116-105 win over Sacramento. McConnell scored fewer than five points for the third time in the past four games, continuing his recent slump. During that span, he has averaged just 6.0 points, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals, leaving him well outside the top 150 in standard formats. Given his fluctuating role and lack of upside, McConnell should really be viewed as nothing more than a streaming consideration for those needing assists and steals.

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  McConnell amassed 14 points (7-10 FG), one rebound, six assists, one block and three steals across 17 minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 loss to the Nuggets. McConnell chipped in across all the major categories, continuing his recent strong play. In seven games over the past two weeks, McConnell is averaging 11.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.7 steals in just 18.6 minutes per game, good enough for top-70 value. While his role is seemingly capped at about 25 minutes, that is generally enough for him to have solid 12-team value.

• Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Limited to six minutes Monday

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  Head coach Rick Carlisle said after Monday's 135-119 loss to the Cavaliers that McConnell experienced some general soreness following last weekend's back-to-back set, Tony East of Forbes.com reports. He was limited to six minutes, finishing with four points (2-3 FG), one rebound, one assist and one steal. Although McConnell felt fine while going through pregame warmups, he wasn't feeling right when the game started, so Carlisle opted to hold him out. Carlisle maintained that McConnell wasn't dealing with a specific injury, so it sounds like he'll be fine for Wednesday's matchup with the Nuggets. Still, his status will be worth monitoring, and the Pacers are expected to provide an update by Tuesday night.
