That resulted in better production for the former Gonzaga standout, scoring a team-high 23 points. Kuzma left early with a calf injury, while Poole didn’t suit up because of a hip contusion. There’s a high chance both players won’t be on the floor again tonight, which means Kispert will have the rock in his hands a lot more.

The Chicago Bulls and Indiana Pacers are extremely similar this season. They both can’t find consistent play as a team. The Pacers are playing slightly better, but there is not much difference overall.

The Sixers’ matchup against the Wizards is one of two easier matchups before their schedule ramps up, and they need to make the most of it.
