Pacers' Jeff Teague: Scores 20 in Pacers debut

Teague scored 20 points (5-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 10-13 FT) and added eight assists, three steals and two rebounds across 37 minutes in Wednesday's 130-121 overtime win over the Mavericks.

Analysis:

Teague had a rough night in terms of shooting from the field in his Pacers debut, but he got to the line enough to salvage his scoring. Teague brings more offensive upside to the table than his predecessor at point guard, George Hill, but the Pacers could be exposed more on the defensively with a starting backcourt pairing of Teague and Monta Ellis, neither of whom would be confused with lock-down defenders.
