The Indiana Pacers will complete their two-game road trip in the 2020-21 NBA when they take on the Washington Wizards at the Capital One Arena on Monday.

The Pacers and Wizards are seeded ninth and tenth, respectively, as they look to make the play-in tournament. The Indiana Pacers are coming off a monumental 152-95 win over the OKC Thunder in their last outing.

The Indiana Pacers scored over 40 points in each of their first three quarters. All-Star Domantas Sabonis notched up a huge triple-double, ending the night with 26 points, 14 assists and 19 rebounds. Doug McDermott added a team-high 31 points as well.

Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards lost to the Dallas Mavericks 124-125 in a closely contested matchup. The Wizards had to rally back after conceding a 12-point lead in the first quarter, but Dorian-Finney Smith's clutch three-pointer in the dying moments of the game floored Scott Brooks' men.

Nevertheless, Russell Westbrook continued his rich vein of form, scoring 42 points, nine assists and ten rebounds, but fell short of his 32nd triple-double of the season. His partner in crime, Bradley Beal, had 29 points on the night.
