Pendergraph, elevated in the power forward rotation because of David West's back injury, scored 10 points and grabbed seven rebounds Friday night in Indiana's win over Milwaukee.

Pendergraph has averaged 22 minutes per game over the last three as the Pacers navigate a stretch of the schedule without West, who is expected to miss a few more games into next week. Pendergraph is averaging 8.3 points and 5.7 rebounds in the three-game run. When given minutes, he looks better coming off the bench than Tyler Hansbrough does, but Pendergraph will go back to third on the depth chart when West is available to return.
