Players to watch for the Pacers
The Pacers will continue to rely heavily on Domantas Sabonis, an NBA All-Star for the second straight season who averaged 20.2 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game. He had some nagging injuries through the season but appeared in 8 of their final 9 games.
Sabonis was a key to the win over Charlotte, falling just one assist shy of a triple-double with 14 points, 21 rebounds and 9 assists. He did all of that without even playing in the fourth quarter.
