He poured in a remarkable 34 points and distributed 8 assists, leading his team to a well-deserved victory. His shooting efficiency was outstanding, with a field goal percentage of 50% and a free throw percentage of 83.3%.

In their previous three games, Jackson Jr. averaged 15 points per game and showcased his defensive prowess by recording an average of 2 blocks per game.

Another player to watch out for is Buddy Hield, who has been a reliable scoring option for the Pacers. Hield averaged 16 points per game in their previous three matchups, showcasing his ability to knock down shots from beyond the arc with a three-point percentage of 42.9%.
