B. It was a quiet night for McConnell but with the success of other guys of the second unit the point guard has no problem taking a back seat. McConnell was able to manage the game when on the floor and that was evident with his seven assists. The backup point guard has been steady and has allowed both units to have no drop-off. Look for McConnell to get things going offensively against the Jazz.. PG. Indiana Pacers. T.J. MCCONNELL

A+. Over the past few weeks, McDermott has been the team’s unsung hero. McDermott has been able to find his game offensively and that was evident with his 24 points off the bench. The shooter has been able to find his stroke which has allowed the Pacers to stretch the floor and keep opponents honest. With McDermott’s recent surge off the bench, it has added a new wrinkle to defending the Pacers. As the west coast road trip continues, it will be imperative for McDermott to continue his success. Without McDermott’s range and comfort within the offense, the Pacers don’t squeeze out a win in Denver.. SF. Indiana Pacers. DOUG MCDERMOTT

B-. Bitadze would finish the game with four points and two rebounds in five minutes of play. His performance was solid considering his limited minutes. It’s nice to see the coaching staff have confidence in the rookie and with more time on the floor, he will improve. Overall, it’s great to see the team’s first-round pick be able to contribute and grow.. C. Indiana Pacers. GOGA BITADZE
