Indiana Pacers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner played a pivotal role in Tuesday's 120-119 victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers, posting 23 points on 8-for-17 shooting and blocking five shots. Additionally, he recorded eight rebounds with one steal and one block, finishing 2-for-5 with his shots from the three-point line. This was Turner's third outing in four games with 20-plus points. He is in a great position to enjoy further offensive success against the Cavaliers, as they lost Evan Mobley (ankle) for Tuesday's Game 2. It was a difficult matchup on paper for Turner, but he has been strong in the series so far, averaging 18.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton had 19 points in Tuesday's win over the Cavs. He added nine rebounds and four assists. The 25-year-old wasn't as productive on the scoring end in this one compared to Game 1. However, he made up for it by draining a 24-foot three-point shot to win the game and put the Pacers up 2-0 in the series. Without question, Cleveland will need to make some adjustments heading into Game 3 on Friday night, including figuring out how to keep Haliburton in check.

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam had 17 points, eight rebounds, and one steal in Sunday's win over the Cavs. While Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, and Myles Turner were also productive, Siakam did his part to help Indiana take the opening game of the series. The Cavs had trouble keeping up with the speedy Pacers' offense. It's likely head coach Rick Carlisle will look to keep things moving in Game 2 on Tuesday evening, meaning Siakam should continue to be involved on both ends of the floor.
