This list is based off of the games played on Monday nights games, this list is not based off of who had the most points, it’s about who had the best impact on the floor all things considered.
- Jimmy Butler
Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat once again blew out the Atlanta Hawks, winning 115-105 at home. Butler had one of his best playoff games in his career scoring 45 points with 5 boards, 5 assists and to go along with that 2 steals on the defensive end, Butler shot efficiently also {60% FG, 57.1% from 3PT} with also a +19 plus-minus. The Heat will now travel to Atlanta to play the Hawks, if Miami can split on the road this series is most likely to be over in 5 games if not 6 max.
- Brandon Ingram
Brandon Ingram and the Pelicans stun the Suns last night with a 125-114 win on the road to even the series up at 1 game a piece, Ingram led the pelicans with 37 points with a near triple double {37,11 and 9} with also a steal and a block. The Pelicans are massive underdogs in this series but definitely have enough firepower to take down the Suns or give them a run for their money.
- Devin Booker
Devin Booker and the Suns may have lost but for the simple fact Booker was having a fantastic game until he went down in the third quarter with a hamstring injury. Booker and the Suns were down 77-74 when Booker went down and he didn’t return for the rest of the game and no news has come back yet but Phoenix could be without Booker for at least a game so they better prepare for that. Devin was heating up shooting 12-19 before the injury and he’s a mini Klay Thompson in the fact that when he gets hot he burns like no other, we’ve seen Booker drop 70 on the now defensive player of the year Marcus Smart and I wouldn’t rule out Booker dropping 40 to 45 points by the end of this game if he stayed in.
