What happened: Ivica Zubac and Andrew Nembhard each recorded a double-double in the Pacers' win.
Why it matters: Nembhard is the playmaker on the pairing, and the Nembhard-to-Zubac interior connection has already produced baskets this month. Zubac's rebounding is what keeps a big-man double-double within reach.
By the numbers: Nembhard: 15.4 points, 1.9 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game in 2026-27 through 10 games. Zubac: 9.0 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in 2026-27 through 6 games.
