Indiana is playing at home, they are a playoff team, and they just added Pascal Siakam to their roster. But this is actually a must-win game because their franchise player is out today.

Very good matchup, especially with a new-look front line from IND. We are continuing to climb in the West so a win here will put us in familiar territory, and help us on our path towards the playoffs in defense of our title. Tough path over the new 10 days, a win will help catapult this team into playoff mode.

Very bad 2nd quarter, but with -8 at halftime this game is still winnable, Indiana playing without Tyrese Haliburton.

One great quarter (3rd 39-19) and cool last two minutes (from 107-107 to 114-109) was enough today, but we need to win these 'sure-bet' wins more routinely. Jokic and Murray both have another great all-around 30+ game, that was always helpful. Jamal is playing after injury constantly like an all-star player, this time he is not waiting for the playoff for a show-off (before the injury 16/3/7 ts53%, but 23.5/4.5/6.5 ts60% after).

Good win on the road. Both starting forwards were MIA but Murray and Joker still have the knockout punches.

So another triple double for the Joker, anyone know how many that is this season ?
