4 years agoIndiana Pacers small forward Doug McDermott had a nice bench outing on Thursday against Cleveland, notching 18 points and nine rebounds off the bench. McBuckets shot 3-for-6 from deep and 6-for-13 overall from the field in 25 minutes of action. It was a very good bounce-back performance by McDermott, who managed only two points in the previous game against Boston. McDermott is an important piece in Indiana's rotation, and he'll be even more valuable for the team in the upcoming games with T.J. Warren (foot) struggling with injury. The Pacers face the Knicks next, against whom McDermott posted a 13-point performance with six rebounds and two assists on Dec. 23.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
