Kevin Durant (PF) vs. Michael Porter Jr. (SF)
The Phoenix Suns’ power forward Kevin Durant has been just amazingly good this season to put it mildly. Durant served as a team leader, playing in all 64 games and averaging 27.5 points over 37.2 minutes, a testament to his offensive dominance. His mastery of the game (average of 6.6 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game) demonstrates his invaluable contribution to the Suns. Despite his 3.3 turnovers per game, Durant has defensive skills such as 1.3 blocks per game that makes him a tough opposition for both ends.
Although at the same time Michael Porter Jr. has become a foundation for the Denver Nuggets. Playing 70 games from the start this season and having 17 points and 7 rebounds over the course of 31.8 minutes per game. His ability to shoot, in addition to the fact that he is a good defender who averages 0.7 blocks per game, allows the Nuggets to have reliable scorers and an outstanding defender. On the other hand, his low number of assists (1.5 per game) shows that he has a more specific role of scoring and rebounding.
When Durant and Porter Jr. go head-to-head, their disparate abilities, playing styles and strengths shall be quite a show. Durant’s almost ideal games and scoring can confront Porter Jr.’s defensive skills while Porter Jr’s efficiency and rebounding could examine Durant’s defensive roles. This head to head battle between these two players becomes very decisive and ultimately shows the value of having a star player in the NBA
Suns’ Shooting Prowess
The Phoenix Suns hit among the season’s top teams in the offensive department, averaging 117.3 points and field goal percentage of 49.6. Their outer shoot range conversion being 12.2 attempts per game at 38.1% shows that their shooting skill surfaces. With offensive efficiency (80 points averaged), rebounding (44.3 per game averaged), distributed assists (27 per game averaged), and contribution in defense (7.3 steals and 6.1 blocks) among all players, it makes them a very adjustable team.
Nuggets’ Balanced Attack
On the contrary, the Nuggets’ profile is bilateral, with an average of 114.6 points and an equal field goal percentage to the Suns’ one, which amounts to 49.6%. The Nuggets rank high in ball distribution and get 29.2 assists per game, and also exert a great defensive pressure in providing 5.5 blocks per game. With a slightly lower behind the arc shooting at 37.1 percent and free throw hitting 76.2 percent, which the Suns’ ladies made better, the key area for Thunder women to do better lies here.
