The Indiana Pacers will look to their All-Star Domantas Sabonis (21.6 PPG, 11.5 RPG, 5.8 APG, 53.1 % FG) to guide them to victory in this matchup.
With Mithcell Robinson on the sidelines, the game could witness a key showdown at the center position between another 2021 All-Star candidate Julius Randle (23.2 PPG, 11.0 RPG, 5.5 APG, 47.8% FG) and Sabonis.
