This list is based on the games played on Friday nights games, this list is not based on who had the most points, it’s about who had the best impact on the floor all things considered.
- Chris Paul
With Devin Booker being out for the next couple weeks Suns leader Chris Paul has to come up big and he did last night, securing the 114-111 win over the New Orleans Pelicans to take a series lead of 2-1. Paul had a cool 28 with 14 assists with a couple rebounds and of course no turnovers again. The point god once again is showing why he’s considered to be a top point guard in this league and maybe in NBA history, Paul came up big in the second half with scoring or assisting in over half the Suns points in the second half.
- Trae Young
I put Trae Young on this list for the sole fact he basically hit the game winner to give the Hawks a fighting chance in this series, Trae did not necessarily have a good game but he did in all get the win and in the playoffs that’s what really matters. Ice Trae didn’t shoot very efficiently {42.9% FG, 33.3% 3PT} but did still have 24 points with 4 boards and 8 assists. The Hawks haven’t had some of their key pieces like Clint Capela and Lou Williams but still have found ways to win and be competitive for the most part.
- Grayson Allen
The Bucks dominated the Chicago Bulls with a 111-81 win last night to take a 2-1 series lead and wow was this a slap in the face for Bulls fans, after game 2 Bulls fans were optimistic about having a real shot in this series and Milwaukee just showed them the business, Grayson Allen was surprisingly the Bucks leading scorer with 22 points along with 6 boards to go with a steal and a block, with the Bucks being ahead most of the game the Bucks played a deep lineup giving the starters and the rotational players a break. Game 4 will be on Monday with a chance for Milwaukee to really put this series away.
