In contrast to last year's 14.9 mark, Bennedict Mathurin's points per game have increased this year to 21.2. The matchup vs. the Kings is a strong one for 3-pointers; the opposing team's starting SFs have averaged the 3rd-most shots from downtown per game in the NBA this year (2.3). The Indiana Pacers have played at the 9th-speediest pace in the league over the last 20 games. The Kings have played at the 4th-speediest pace-of-play in the league away from their home stadium this year, which should lead to more opportunities for the Indiana Pacers. When it comes to getting to the free-throw line, the Pacers's stellar 26.8 foul shot attempts per game measures as the 6th-best in the league this year.
