Anthony Edwards (SG) vs. Luka Doncic (PG)

Edwards stands out for his impressive scoring prowess and athleticism averaging 27.5 points a game during playoff play for Minnesota Timberwolves while Doncic can penetrate defenses while finishing at the rim to add dynamic layers to Mavericks offense – yet both could potentially exploit Edwards’ turnover rate for additional possessions from opponent teams.

Averaging 28 points, 9.3 assists, and 9.4 rebounds per game he not only scores but creates scoring opportunities among teammates as a primary component of Dallas Mavericks offensive strategy. Doncic’s size and strength enable him to match up well against most defenders while his clutch shooting has contributed heavily towards Dallas success; yet similar to Edwards his turnover rate may give away his vulnerabilities so Timberwolves could target Doncic to disrupt Mavericks momentum.
