Monta Ellis

Pacers lifting minutes cap on Monta Ellis

Indiana Pacers guard Monta Ellis will not have a minutes limit for Thursday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets.

What It Means:

Ellis hasn't exceeded 20 minutes in his four games back since returning from an ankle injury that cost him eight contests. He'll likely continue to be brought off the bench, but he should be owned in standard formats.

In the eight games where Ellis logs between 20-29 minutes, he's averaging 6.9 points, 2.5 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per contest.
