Mathurin had 15 points, three rebounds and one assists in Indiana’s 103-96 loss to Sacramento. Terry had 13 points, three assists, one rebound and one block in Chicago’s 101-69 loss to New York.

Mathurin played in the early game where he faced the Kings’ Keegan Murray. Though the two high-end lottery picks didn’t go head-to-head much, Mathurin more than held his own on the court. At times looked like the best player in the gym. Mathurin finished the game 6-16 from the field including 1-4 from 3-point range.
