Storyline to follow: Can KP stay hot?

Kristaps Porzingis is one of the hottest players in the NBA. Since the All-Star break, he is averaging 27.0 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 3.3 blocks in 34.0 minutes per game. KP is also shooting 48.2 percent from the field and 39.4 percent on his 3-pointers. He is returning to his All-Star form.

The Pacers have the frontcourt to slow him down, though. Domantas Sabonis made the All-Star team for the first time this season. Myles Turner is one of the NBA’s best shot blockers. They will be asked to slow down The Unicorn on Sunday evening. It will not be an easy task.
