Terry Taylor - Makes most of starting chance Taylor compiled 18 points (9-11 FG, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds and one block across 36 minutes Wednesday in the Pacers' 113-108 win over the Wizards. Impact The undrafted rookie out of Austin Peay continues to post eye-popping numbers when given extended playing time, as he now has five games with double-digit points and at least nine rebounds in the past three weeks. Though he's now earned 30-plus minutes in two straight contests, Taylor's playing time looks destined to take a hit coming out of the All-Star break. While Indiana cleared up some of the crowding in the frontcourt by waiving Tristan Thompson after the contest, the Pacers could conceivably have all of Myles Turner (foot), Goga Bitadze (foot), Chris Duarte (toe), Isaiah Jackson (ankle) and Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) back for its first game of the second half Feb. 25 versus the Thunder.
