4 Victor Oladipo SG

Oladipo is resting for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.

Coach Nate McMillan is resting his usual starters Saturday, giving the bench an opportunity to play. Oladipo may be available Monday against the Cavaliers.

Oladipo supplied 30 points (10-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and three steals across 41 minutes during Indiana's 105-101 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 7 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.

Oladipo literally fought until the very last second of the contest, draining a meaningless three-pointer at the buzzer. Despite it not having an effect on the outcome of the contest, the basket exemplified the never-say-die attitude the sharpshooting two-guard displayed throughout the seven games against the Cavaliers. Oladipo wrapped up the first round with averages of 22.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 2.4 steals across 37.1 minutes, and he figures to once again serve as the Pacers' offensive linchpin in the 2018-19 campaign.

Oladipo totaled 12 points (2-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 40 minutes in Wednesday's 98-95 loss to the Cavaliers.

After shooting 25 percent from the floor in Game 4, Oladipo followed it up with an even worse 13 percent shooting in Game 5. Both poor outputs have resulted in Pacers' losses, and if the team wants to have a chance to win this in Game 7, they need Oladipo to desperately turn it around in Game 6 as the star of their offense.

Oladipo managed 17 points (5-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 41 minutes during Indiana's 104-100 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.

Although his final line was solid overall, it very much belied the struggles that Oladipo experienced from the field for the second consecutive game. The 25-year-old shot 51.3 percent over the first two games of the series, but he drained just 10 of 35 attempts in Games 3 and 4. Oladipo did make serviceable contributions across other categories Sunday, but the Pacers will undoubtedly need him to be sharper on offense to have a chance of taking Wednesday's pivotal Game 5.

Oladipo accounted for 22 points (9-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists, and two steals across 28 minutes Wednesday as Indiana fell to Cleveland in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff matchup.

Oladipo wound up in foul trouble Wednesday, logging only 28 minutes and leaving the Pacers offense at a standstill for sizable chunks of the game. He drives their offense and has proven to be a defensive playmaker, but Indiana's inability to make things happen with him on the bench has proven to be a tough hurdle to overcome. Oladipo posted a strong statistical performance, and his value as a fantasy asset is on the rise for the playoffs considering how much of the offensive burden he will carry moving forward.
