Indiana Pacers at Charlotte Hornets (front end)
Team Totals: Pacers 112.8, Hornets 109.3
Injury Report: Caris LeVert (O, medical condition)
Pacers projected starters: Malcolm Brogdon, Justin Holiday, Jeremy Lamb, Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner
Hornets projected starters: Devonte’ Graham, Terry Rozier, Gordon Hayward, P.J. Washington, Cody Zeller
Bjorkgren quotes: Said he liked what Goga Bitadze provided off the bench with his bounce, rim protection and even facilitating at the top of the key, said McBuckets’ cutting has been huge for the offense, said Sabonis doesn’t want to sit out games.
Borrego quotes: Said bench struggled against the Pacers, said he isn’t going to have a set rotation for a bit, said he’ll continue to look at Malik Monk (I didn’t think he was too pumped about how he played on Wednesday, so he is probably out of rotation), suggested that they may double Sabonis more.
Stats and Notes:
*The Hornets didn’t double Sabonis and they had Cody Zeller on him almost exclusively (three points and five assists in 22.0 partial possessions). The Pacers’ offense was substantially better when Biyombo was on Sabonis for 10 minutes, so Zeller would almost certainly see extended minutes again.
