NBA 2018-19: 3 Talking points from the Indiana Pacers' win over the Washington Wizards

Final Score: Indiana Pacers defeated Washington Wizards 105-89

Washington Wizards are probably having their worst season this year and are placed at the bottom half of the table. After eking out a 149-146 win in a triple-overtime game against the Phoenix Suns, they were in Indiana to take on the Pacers.

The Pacers continue to impress the fans as they are third in the Eastern Conference and also possess the league's best defensive rating. With a relatively easier schedule ahead, they can get to the top of the table.

Victor Oladipo was impressive with his all-round performance even though he scored just 12 points and struggled shooting from the floor. He came up big in other departments as he had 6 assists, 9 rebounds and 3 steals in the contest. The Pacers picked up an easy 16-point win and now have two straights wins. Let us take a look at three of the talking points from this contest.

#3 Domantas Sabonis' double-double performance off the bench

Stat line: 15 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks on 85.7 % shooting

Domantas Sabonis continues to shine in Indiana and after his 17 points performance in the win against the Brooklyn Nets, Sabonis was once again dominant as he posted 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to register a double-double.

In the first quarter, with 3:03 remaining, Sabonis slammed one home to tie the game, on a pick-and-roll with Oladipo. The 22-year-old is currently in his second year with the Pacers and is slowly becoming one of their prominent players with consistent performances.

He is averaging close to a double-double this season with 14.2 points and 9.6 rebounds per game and is received extended minutes per game.

#2 Bradley Beal and John Wall's night to forget

John Wall and Bradley Beal combined for just 14 points as the Pacers cruised to victory

Beal's stat line: 7 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and a steal on 18.2 % shooting

Wall's stat line: 7 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and a steal on 14.3 % shooting

After sitting out for the game against the Phoenix Suns due to illness, John Wall was back in the starting lineup but had a night to forget as he scored just 7 points on 1-for-7 shooting and did not make any impact.

Bradley Beal was also poor as the shooting guard scored only 7 points on 2-for-11 shooting and the Wizards crumbled to suffer yet another tough loss. Even though there is a lot of uncertainty regarding the future of the franchise and its All-Star players, Beal has been playing at an elite level this season and is posting career-high numbers on a nightly basis.

#1 Myles Turner's monster double-double night

Stat line: 18 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks on 47.1 % shooting

With three straight double-doubles to his name coming into this game, Myles Turner was expected to have a great game against the struggling Washington Wizards. To no one's surprise, he was dominant and put together yet another double-double.

He shot 8-for-17 from the floor and was impressive with his mid-range jumper. Turner grabbed 17 rebounds including as many as 7 offensive rebounds and made a huge impact on the game.

In the third quarter, with the Pacers up by 18 points, he had the game's best block and finished the night with 2 blocks. Turner's ability to play great defense has helped this team in a huge way as they are currently the best defensive team in the league.
