Anthony Davis vs. Andrew Wiggins
In the end, as great as LeBron and Curry may be, this matchup could very well come down to the “others” on the roster. For the Lakers, that means Anthony Davis stepping up in a big way. After he struggled to find his footing after his injury, Davis strung together a nice few games to end the season.
Assuming he can carry that over into the Play-In Tournament and the Lakers should be fine. On the other end of the court, the Warriors’ fate could lie in the hands of Andrew Wiggins. Even though he hasn’t had the splash season many hoped he would have, he is still coming off arguably the most efficient season of his career thus far.
During his first full season with the Warriors, Wiggins averaged 19 points and five rebounds per game on 48 percent shooting from the field and 38 percent shooting from 3-point range.
Especially if LeBron is not 100 percent, this game could very well come down to the supporting cast of both teams.
