Leg 1: Pacers forward Bennedict Mathurin scored 16 points in 16 minutes in a preseason game vs. OKC. This one means more obviously, but the Rockets wingmen scoring at will on the inside in the Thunder’s first game. Mathurin averaged 16 ppg last season and that was with Haliburton and Myles Turner usually on the court. The last three games without Haliburton out there last season, he poured in 22, 23 and 28. In Game 7 of the NBA Finals after he went down, Mathurin had 24.

Leg 2: Thunder forward Chet Holmgren scored 28 points in their season opener vs. the Rockets. But he shot wildly above his usual clip with about six shot attempts more than usual. In the seven games of the NBA Finals vs. Indiana last year, he eclipsed 18 points just once and averaged 12.3 ppg.

Leg 3: Isaiah Hartenstein managed a scant 19 PRA total in OKC’s opening OT win over Houston. He shot just 2-for-5 and spent a lot of (ill-fated) energy on defense vs. Alperen Sengun. Here he must defend Isaiah Jackson, who averaged 7 ppg last year, but in seven NBA Finals games vs. OKC last season, he never got over 20 PRA and averaged 14.7.
