Description: Paul George led the Pacers with 27 points on Wednesday but his poor defense on the last play of overtime allowed LeBron James to swoop in for the game-winning layup.
Insight: George told the Indianapolis Star after the game that he slipped on the play that led to the game-winning shot. George is usually an excellent defensive player so we figured that was probably the case. He'll have an opportunity to redeem himself Friday night in Game 2.
 
Hot5/2/2013 9:40:00 AM
Description: Indiana small forward Paul George guided his team back into the win column Wednesday night against Atlanta.
Insight: George (21 points, 10 rebounds, five assists) earned his third double-double of the playoffs Wednesday in Game 5. The Pacers can close out the Hawks Friday night in Atlanta.
 
Hot5/1/2013 10:17:00 AM
Description: Pacers forward Paul George was excellent in the regular season, but has played at a much higher level in the postseason, averaging 21.8 ppg, 10.0 rpg, 4.5 apg.
Insight: He's Indiana's best player right now and probably one of the most versatile talents in the entire NBA.
 
4/24/2013 10:17:00 PM
Description: Pacers forward Paul George led the way with 27 points Wednesday in a win over the Hawks.
Insight: George (11-of-21) had a much better shooting night than he did in Game 1 (3-for-13). He's Indiana's best player right now and probably one of the most versatile talents in the entire NBA. The Pacers will have a chance to take a 3-0 series lead Saturday night in Atlanta.
 
4/24/2013 6:23:00 PM
Description: Indiana small forward Paul George has been named the NBA's Most Improved Player for the 2012-13 season.
Insight: He was also in the running for Defensive Player of the Year but that honor went to the Grizzlies' Marc Gasol. George led the Pacers in points (17.4 ppg) and steals (1.8 spg) this season and was selected for his first All-Star Game back in February.
 
4/21/2013 3:55:00 PM
Description: Pacers forward Paul George posted a triple-double Sunday in Game 1 against the Hawks (23 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists).
Insight: Almost all of his points came from the free throw line (17-for-18). With Danny Granger sidelined for the rest of the year, this is George's team now. We're expecting him to have another strong outing Wednesday in Game 2.
 
4/17/2013 6:42:00 PM
Description: Scott Agnes from Pacers.com is reporting that small forward Paul George won't be in the lineup Wednesday against the Sixers.
Insight: Frank Vogel is giving all of his starters the night off to rest before the playoffs. George (17.4 ppg, 7.6 rpg) should be in the running for the NBA's Most Improved Player Award.
 
4/16/2013 11:25:00 AM
Description: Just a reminder to all fantasy owners that Tuesday's game between the Indiana Pacers and the Boston Celtics has been cancelled.
Insight: The Pacers have four guys who have been productive for fantasy owners: Paul George, David West, George Hill and Roy Hibbert. The Celtics' Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Jeff Green have also been solid contributors.
 
Cold4/6/2013 9:40:00 PM
Description: Indiana forward Paul George went 0-for-8 from the field Saturday against the Wizards and is 3-for-19 from the field and 0-for-10 from 3-point range over his last two games.
Insight: George had just put together three straight games with at least 23 points. He should rediscover his stroke over the final five games.
 
3/16/2013 10:21:00 PM
Description: Indiana forward Paul George blew up for 18 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists Saturday against Philadelphia.
Insight: It didn't come in a winning effort (the Sixers won 98-91) but fantasy owners probably won't mind. The 14 rebounds are the most George has had in a game since February 8th when he also had 14 boards in a loss against Toronto.
 
Hot2/20/2013 9:54:00 PM
Description: Pacers small forward Paul George led all scorers with 27 points Wednesday in a win against the Knicks.
Insight: Indiana went ballistic on Wednesday, opening up a 74-44 lead at halftime. The first time All-Star has averaged 20.8 ppg in his last six contests.
 
2/13/2013 11:02:00 PM
Description: Indiana forward Paul George collected a triple-double -- 23 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists -- with two steals and one three Wednesday against the Bobcats.
Insight: George only made 1-of-10 for five points in 39 minutes Monday but the swingman always finds a way to bounce back for his fantasy owners. When Danny Granger returns, George will likely move to shooting guard, but that shouldn't affect his fantasy value too much.
 
2/8/2013 10:28:00 PM
Description: Indiana forward Paul George collected 26 points and 14 rebounds Friday in a 100-98 loss to the Raptors.
Insight: George (17.8 ppg, 7.8 rpg) played an exhausting 47 minutes on Friday. He's now logged 40 minutes or more in seven of his last eight games.
 
Hot1/21/2013 3:58:00 PM
Description: Pacers guard-forward Paul George was one assist shy of a triple-double in Indiana's 82-81 win over Memphis.
Insight: George threw in 12 points to go along with 10 rebounds, nine assists and a steal with no turnovers. For the season he's averaging 17.3 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 3.7 apg.
 
Hot1/18/2013 9:38:00 PM
Description: Pacers guard-forward Paul George poured in 31 points on 11-of-19 shooting with six rebounds, three assists, five steals, one block and seven threes Friday versus Houston.
Insight: That's quite an all-around performance for a guy who has been great all season. George is averaging 22.5 points, 10 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.2 steals and 3.2 treys over his last six games.
 
1/13/2013 4:55:00 PM
Description: Pacers swingman Paul George (flu) has made it to Brooklyn and will start Sunday. SOURCE: Mike Wells, Indianapolis Star
Insight: George wasn't expected to even travel with the team Sunday, much less play in the game. The guard-forward's 16.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.7 blocks and 2.0 threes per game make him one of the best players in fantasy basketball and fantasy owners should rush to get him back in the lineup.
 
1/13/2013 12:11:00 PM
Description: Pacers swingman Paul George (flu) is not expected to travel with the team to Brooklyn for Sunday's game, coach Frank Vogel said after Saturday's game. Vogel said a decision would be made Sunday about George's ability to travel. SOURCE: Indianapolis Star
Insight: George's 16.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.7 blocks and 2.0 threes per game make him one of the best players in fantasy basketball, so a two-game absence is certainly a blow to fantasy owners.
 
1/12/2013 5:04:00 PM
Description: Pacers swingman Paul George will miss Saturday's game against Charlotte. He's dealing with the flu. SOURCE: David Benner, Pacers director of media relations
Insight: George's 16.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.7 blocks and 2.0 threes per game make him one of the best players in fantasy basketball, so he'll certainly be missed Saturday. George will try to play Sunday at Brooklyn.
 
1/10/2013 10:44:00 PM
Description: Pacers swingman Paul George stepped up again with 24 points on 10-of-24 shooting, 11 rebounds, five assists, six steals, one block and two threes Thursday in a win over the New York Knicks.
Insight: Only one other Pacers player scored in double figures. George has scored 53 points with 22 rebounds, seven assists, six steals, one block and six threes in the last two games to help Indiana beat Miami and New York, the top two teams in the Eastern Conference.
 
1/8/2013 9:39:00 PM
Description: Pacers swingman Paul George knocked down 12-of-27 from the field (4-9 3PT) for 29 points with 11 rebounds to help Indiana defeat Miami on Tuesday.
Insight: George came in having scored 17 points on 8-of-29 shooting (0-6 3PT) in his previous two games but he was due for a couple of down games after averaging 20.7 points on 47.3 percent shooting in the 15 games before that. George's effort on Tuesday should help fantasy owners quickly forget the last two games.
