Small Forward: LeBron James vs. Evan Turner
What has arguably been another MVP season for James has him providing all-around support: scoring 25.3 points, handing out 7.4 assists, grabbing six rebounds and collecting 1.6 steals per game. He’s looking to reach the NBA Finals for the fifth consecutive year, and his importance to the Cavaliers is evident from the team’s record without him.
Former Ohio State Buckeye Turner is only giving the team 9.5 points per game, along with 5.5 assists and 5.1. rebounds for each contest. He doesn’t offer too much consistency from three-point land. That, coupled with the other numbers, will allow James to dominate this matchup.
