Indiana Pacers: Player grades from crucial win over the Washington Wizards

Player grades for the Indiana Pacers bench against the Wizards

Oshae Brissett: A+

Finally. After spending most of the season in Rick Carlisle’s doghouse, the third-year forward turned in his most impressive game since the Miami game in October, finishing with 12 points and eight rebounds  and sinking all three of his attempts from downtown. With Justin Holiday out, Oshae Brissett should have ample opportunity to make his case to be in the rotation.

Jeremy Lamb: B

After struggling against the Heat, Lamb made sure he was felt in his limited minutes, finishing with double-digits while draining a couple of treys, albeit with three turnovers. With Duarte starting and TJ McConnell sidelined, his scoring off the bench will be crucial.

Kelan Martin: B-

Martin has been logging significant minutes all season long, and his burst of energy is the main reason why. Continuing to shoot the ball well from the perimeter will be (two treys against WAS) will only make sure he retains his ample court time.

Brad Wanamaker: B+

There are better options in lieu of Wanamaker in the market, but he played well in just 12 minutes, dropping four assists against only a single turnover.
