Trends to watch

• Spencer posted 9 assists and 6 rebounds in 24 bench minutes, so his combo lines carry more value than his scoring alone.
• Nembhard played 38 minutes with Tyrese Haliburton and T.J. McConnell listed out for Indiana, and that workload is worth checking while they remain out.
• Coward took 12 threes and played 33 minutes, so his usage and minutes both support his rebound and points props.
