Bennedict Mathurin Points
Thunder vs. Pacers, 8:30 p.m. ET
Ben Mathurin has a real, obvious role of importance in this series despite the fact he doesn't play "Pacers-style" basketball.
He's a slow-it-down, isolation, 1-on-1 scorer who can create legitimately good looks with his combination of size and strength, even against this amazing Oklahoma City Thunder defense.
He also has the capability of doing insane things, like scoring 27 points in 22 minutes, 20 points in 12 minutes, or 23 points in 25 minutes — all of which he has done just a shade over two weeks from today.
I think his impact on this series is real. It's a legitimate change of pace, and at times, he's Indiana's best scoring option on the floor.
Mathurin can disrupt the flow in a positive way, especially in a series where both teams are attempting to make the other uncomfortable by taking away preferred options.
