BRINGING BACK THE BIGSPrior to Tuesday’s game against the Knicks, Kevon Looney had missed the previous 10 games with a left ankle sprain and James Wiseman was unavailable for 11 contests with a left wrist sprain. They both returned in the team’s showdown against New York and immediately made it clear that the squad didn’t miss just their overall verticality and length, but also what unique traits they bring to the hardwood. Though Looney notched just two points by making his lone field goal attempt, he contributed six rebounds and four assists in 20 minutes. Looney’s plus-minus of +17 ranked third on the team behind Stephen Curry and Draymond Green (both +19). Meanwhile Wiseman returned to his role off the bench, where he had been in the four games prior to suffering his injury, and logged 14 points in 16 minutes. His presence in the paint was felt, while he also reminded Dub Nation about his athleticism with one nifty spin-move.
TEAM LEADERS
INDIANA SCOUTING REPORT
The Indiana Pacers enter Wednesday’s game seemingly a bit streaky having lost four in a row before winning three of their next four. However, anything they had done in their last few games means nothing as the Pacers have not played in a week as their contests had been postponed due to the NBA’s Health and Safety Protocols. Wednesday’s matchup will be the Pacers first NBA play since Feb. 17, in which Indiana’s Domantas Sabonis recorded a career-high 36 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists. Sabonis posted a double-double in each of the first 16 games for the Pacers and has tallied three triple-doubles this season. Guard Malcolm Brogdon added 32 points to the feat, going 12-for-22 from the field and 6-for-7 from 3-point range, scratching his fourth 30-plus point outing of the season. Additionally, Pacers’ centerpiece Myles Turner has All-Defensive team pursuits, leading the league with an average of 3.5 blocks per game. The six-year veteran finished fourth last season in blocks per game (2.2), scratching his fourth consecutive season ranked in the top four in NBA blocks.
