It’s also a reunion with point guard Malcolm Brogdon, who’s nearly averaging a triple-double through three games.
The Bucks (2-1) are coming off a blowout win at San Antoinio, while the Pacers (1-2) just got their first win of this young season, but an intriguing one for this matchup.
Indiana took down the Miami Heat on Saturday, 102-91 in overtime. It’s a Heat team that blew out the Bucks on Thursday 137-95.
Sabonis, the 25-year-old do-it-all forward, is averaging 26 points, 12 rebounds, 4.3 assists, while shooting 63.3% from the field and nailing two 3-pointers a game at a 46.2% clip, which is ridiculous.
The 26-year-old Antetokounmpo is at 22.7 points, 10.7 rebounds and 5.7 assists. He’s shooting just 45.1% so far this season.
As for Brogdon, he’s averaging over 41 minutes already, along with 24.7 points, 8.7 rebounds and 7.7 assists.
