NOTABLE

» Heading into Indiana’s game against Charlotte on Friday, Sabonis had logged a double-double in 10 of his past 12 games. His 34 total double-doubles rank second in the NBA.

» Turner, a Texas product, leads the league in blocked shots. He had recorded multiple blocks in 12 consecutiv­e games entering Friday.

» In 184 games since joining the Spurs, Derozan has posted at least 20 points while hitting at least half of his shots 80 times. The only players with more such games over that span are Giannis Antetokoun­mpo, Nikola Jokic, Lebron James and Nikola Vucevic.
