    • Recorded 6+ assists in 4 straight road games.

    • Recorded 4+ rebounds in 22 of his last 23 road games vs. winning teams.

  • Rudy Gobert has recorded 13+ rebounds in 4 straight road games vs. the Pacers.

  • Jaden McDaniels has:

    • Scored 15+ points in 4 straight road games vs. winning teams.

    • Recorded 5+ assists in 8 of his last 9 vs. the Timberwolves.

Both sitting on 41 wins this season, the Timberwolves and Pacers clash at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Indiana edged their first meeting 132-130 last Monday, despite missing Pascal Siakam, Tyrese Haliburton, and Myles Turner.

The Pacers will look to snap a three-game home skid vs. Minnesota, but they’ve since won seven straight at home, including a 108-103 win over Brooklyn behind Haliburton’s 16-8-12 and Siakam’s 26-6.

Minnesota dismantled New Orleans 134-93 on Friday and now aims to extend a four-game road win streak. Anthony Edwards is questionable.

Chicago won the first meeting 129-121 on January 27. Denver is coming off a 116-111 win over Houston, fueled by Jamal Murray’s 39-point, seven-assist effort with Nikola Jokic (out) still sidelined.

The Nuggets have now won seven straight when Murray hits the 30-point mark—clearly, when he’s cooking, they’re cruising.

The Bulls crushed the Lakers 146-115 behind Josh Giddey’s near-quadruple-double: 15 points, 10 boards, 17 assists (equal-career-high), and a career-best eight steals. Coby White dropped 36, while Matas Buzelis added a career-high 31.

More recently, Phoenix upset Cleveland 123-112 at this venue, led by Kevin Durant’s 42-point, eight-assist display on 17-29 shooting in the continued absence of Bradley Beal (out). The Suns have now won six straight at home against Eastern opponents.

Milwaukee defeated Sacramento 114-108 at Golden 1 Center on Saturday behind Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 32-point, 17-rebound display on 12-20 shooting while again playing without Damian Lillard (out). Milwaukee holds an 8-4 record in games without Lillard in the lineup this season.
