NBA: Predicting 3 players that will dominate the play-in tournament

Bradley Beal, Washington Wizards

With the season that Bradley Beal has had, and assuming that he’ll be playing in the Play-In Tournament, there’s no reason to believe that he won’t play a big impact in the outcome of which two teams emerge from the East bracket.

Beal is coming off a season in which he averaged 31 points, five rebounds, and four assists per game on 49 percent shooting from the field and 39 percent shooting from 3-point range. He’s been a huge part of the team’s recent resurgence and will play a big part in the team’s success if they can make it to the playoffs.

Especially in a one-game sample, Beal will emerge as a dangerous weapon for the Wizards. Washington just has to win one game (against the Celtics) to qualify for the playoffs. Give Beal two shots at making the postseason and you have to believe that he’ll be able to win one of those two games for the Wizards.

He’s absolutely a candidate that will have the ability to take over and dominate in the Play-In Tournament.
