Storyline to follow: Porzingis vs. Turner and Sabonis

The Pacers have committed to playing Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis together this season. Turner is averaging 1.9 blocks per game. Sabonis has taken a massive step forward. He is an All-Star for the first time by averaging 18.2 points and 12.7 rebounds in 34.4 minutes per game.

Kristaps Porzingis should be back in the lineup for the Mavericks. He will have his work cut out for him trying to defend against Sabonis inside. Coach Carlisle will likely be forced to start Maxi Kleber on Monday to check Turner. The Mavericks staying small in the starting five could cause matchup problems all over the court.
