I’d anticipate offense to retain effectiveness with Mason Plumlee. He’s a powerful finisher, a complicated passer, and even when he isn’t allowed to shoot 3s he has improved FTs.
Protection MAJOR concern. Going from Zu’s elite rim safety (48.7%) to Plumlee (72.2%) h/t @SecondSpectrum – 9:42 PM

Tonight goes to be bizarre from a rotation standpoint. The Thunder lead NBA in drives and so they ran circles round Clippers final month.
However usually, I’d anticipate a 9-man rotation whereas Zu is out. Bear in mind Plumlee was out for 2 months. Now with Zu out for a month, he subs in. – 9:33 PM

The Pacers are owed a first-round decide from the Thunder that may wind up being the worst of OKC, Houston, Utah or the Clippers’ decide.
