Those are characteristics of a dominant presence on the court. His impressive interior play and shot-blocking skills go a long way in securing the team’s victory. For example, his good performances in January and April 2024 averaged over 30 points per game.
- LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers):- Almost 7.5 assists per game, among others, James had phenomenal play-making qualities. And so far, he has given his teammates a lot of scoring chances through his great leadership and vision on the court. He was particularly impressive in the January 2024 game as he managed a double-double in assists and points, contributing to that very narrow one-point victory.
- Toronto’s Balanced Scoring:- The Raptors have been scoring evenly on the board and is notably helped because of the consistent play of Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes.
