Kawhi Leonard (SF) vs. Tyrese Maxey (PG)
Kawhi Leonard has been a pillar of the Clippers franchise, featuring in 63 games with a 23.8 points score per game, which he somewhat compensates for with his incomparable defense finishing with 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. Lenard’s two-way impact on both court sides with his offensive rebounds makes him a top-player for the team and on the specific matches.
Tyrese Maxey, conversely, has been a discovery for the 76ers in the 61 games that he has started playing in this season and has averaged 25.8 points in the past. In any case, his superb assist-to-turnover ratio worth 3.6, as well as his ability to create things and score efficiently, make him an unstoppable force. Maxey’s agility and shot making, especially as penetration in the Clippers defense, will be his secret weapon.
When Leonard and Maxey play against each other, it will be the conflict of offensive wizardry by the former versus defensive strength by the latter. Leonard’s maturity and seasons-wise experience no doubt will be tested because of Maxey’s energy and scoring skills which is capable of deciding the fate of the match.
