This list is only based off of the four NBA games played on Saturday night.
- Karl-Anthony Towns
With Minnesota being the underdog in this series, Kat came up big in game 1 against the Grizzlies. Despite not being the leading scorer last night im still putting Kat in the #1 spot because of the overall impact he had on the floor last night, with 29 points and 13 rebounds Kat made a big impact on both ends of the floor offensively and defensively. Towns had the second highest plus-minus and 9 defensive rebounds alone with high shooting percentages.
- Tyrese Maxey
With the Sixers blowing out the Toronto Raptors to start the series it’s already not looking good for Raptors fans as Tyrese Maxey torched Toronto last night scoring a game-high 38 points on super efficient shooting. Maxey also had a game-high plus minus of +20. Some would Say James Harden was the player of the game instead of Maxey because of Hardens 22 points with 14 assists but I would disagree as Tyrese had more points and better plus-minus than James.
- Jordan Poole
Jordan Poole had to be on this list for just the fact that he’s having a breakout season and this was his playoffs debut and he was in the starting lineup ahead of Steph Curry. Poole also was the leading scorer in this game carrying the Golden State Warriors to a game 1 win and scoring 30 points and having very efficient shooting percentages all around. Curry coming off the bench as a sixth man meant that Poole was in the starting lineup with Klay Thompson as the two guard.
