EDGE Analysis
With the Pacers' blockbuster trade pending, Stephenson drew his first start of the season and didn't disappoint. The veteran forward registered at least 20 points, nine assists and eight rebounds for the first time this season, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with Atlanta's high-powered offense. Stephenson's role is likely to decrease significantly when Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield and Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) are all available.
