Chips in double-double Sunday
Potter had 11 points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 loss to Orlando.
Analysis
The double-double was his first of the season and just the second of his career, with the other coming for Utah back in 2022-23. Potter has started two straight games in Indiana's depleted frontcourt, making a solid contribution in each of them. The 27-year-old big man should continue taking on a more sizable workload for as long as Isaiah Jackson (concussion) is on the shelf.

Career-high 16 points vs. SAS
Potter recorded 16 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 123-113 loss to the Spurs.
Analysis
Potter pushed Jay Huff out of the starting lineup Friday, and the former made the most of his opportunity with career highs in points and three-pointers. Potter signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Pacers on Dec. 26, and he should continue to see ample playing time for as long as Isaiah Jackson is in the league's concussion protocol.

Fares well in loss
Potter posted eight points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 112-110 loss to the Magic.
Analysis
Potter ended up starting the second half of this contest with the team in need of a spark. He could be someone to monitor in deeper leagues if he can build some momentum from this game. Through four appearances in Indiana, he's averaging 16.8 minutes with 5.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists.
