McConnell finished Tuesday's 127-117 loss to the Cavaliers with 10 points (5-11 FG), one rebound, eight assists and one steal over 21 minutes. With Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) sidelined, Ben Sheppard moved into the starting lineup, but McConnell is likely to offer for more streaming upside if Indiana's franchise player misses more time -- coach Rick Carlisle said Tuesday that Haliburton is day-to-day. McConnell has been a reliable playmaker for the Pacers this season with 4.5 assists in 19.3 minutes per game across 40 regular-season appearances.

T.J. McConnell Player Profile
Career History
T.J. McConnell Latest News
Hands out eight assists
McConnell finished Tuesday's 127-117 loss to the Cavaliers with 10 points (5-11 FG), one rebound, eight assists and one steal over 21 minutes. With Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) sidelined, Ben Sheppard moved into the starting lineup, but McConnell is likely to offer for more streaming upside if Indiana's franchise player misses more time -- coach Rick Carlisle said Tuesday that Haliburton is day-to-day. McConnell has been a reliable playmaker for the Pacers this season with 4.5 assists in 19.3 minutes per game across 40 regular-season appearances.
Dishes out five dimes off bench
McConnell racked up six points (2-7 FG, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists and three steals over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 129-113 victory over Chicago. McConnell has now recorded multiple steals and at least five assists in six games this season. The veteran guard is averaging 8.5 points, 4.3 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 18.2 minutes across his last 10 outings.
Only 15 minutes Tuesday
McConnell recorded six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to the Bucks. McConnell continues to struggle for playing time, failing to see more than 20 minutes in four straight games. Despite a proven ability to contribute on both ends of the floor, McConnell appears as though he is firmly behind Ben Sheppard at this point. Should any of the primary guards miss time moving forward, McConnell would likely move back into a more meaningful role.
Teases triple-double Sunday
McConnell produced 12 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 23 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 122-95 win over Sacramento. It was the first double-double of the season for McConnell, and he was a few boards away from his fourth career triple-double. The veteran guard remains a stabilizing force on the Pacers' second unit, scoring in double digits in nine of the last 10 games while averaging 14.2 points, 5.1 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals over that stretch on 57.9 percent shooting from the floor.
Erupts for 30 points
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.
Strong production continues
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-digits 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.
Strong outing off bench in defeat
McConnell totaled 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Sunday's 136-121 loss to the Grizzlies. McConnell once again provided a nice spark off the Indiana bench in Sunday's defeat, leading all bench players in assists while concluding as one of four Pacers with 15 or more points. 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.
Close to double-double in loss
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.
Records five steals
McConnell contributed 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and five steals over 26 minutes during Monday's 130-119 loss to the Raptors. This was McConnell's seventh career game with at least five steals. His workload isn't ideal for fantasy leagues, but he's still managed to return top-200 numbers in nine-category formats with averages of 9.2 points, 4.2 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals.
