Ja Morant delivered a superb performance in his first game following his suspension, posting 34 points, six rebounds and eight assists Tuesday against the Pelicans. Against a Pacers team that ranks 30th in points allowed per 100 possessions, he is also well positioned to surpass 30.5 points on Thursday night.
