Top Captain plays for Knicks vs. Pacers Game 2

Griffin Wong offers two of his favorite captain games for the showdown competition on Friday for game 2 between the Pacers and Knicks.

After a heartbreaking loss in game 1 of the Eastern Conference final, the New York Knicks will be back on friendly hardwood in Madison Square Garden tonight. The success balance for teams that fall in a series behind 2-0 did not have a great number of 7.3% of these teams to win-so the Knicks could see their hopes as well as with a defeat.

In honor of Big Game, Draftking offers a showdown competition with a price pool of 500,000 US dollars. Here are two players that I would consider tonight.

PG Jalen Brunson, New York Knicks against Indiana Pacers, $ 15,900 CP

There were several reasons why New York game 1 didn't end, but Brunson was hardly anyone of them. Sure, the tiny southern paw was not perfect – it had seven sales, including a 29 second ahead and the Knicks, which led in overtime with five and two more – but overall it is difficult to request much more than 43 points and five assists (48.75 FPTS). In the first round, Brunson had to compete against Ausar Thompson and Dennis Schröder, and in the second round he fought with Derrick White and Jrue Holiday; in comparison Aaron Nesmith ($ 6,600) And Andrew Nembhard (7,200 USD) are not a challenge. A typical example: Brunson scored 14 points in five-for-six shooting when he was guarded during Nesmith's 1-game, even though Nesmith forced him to do four sales.

Brunson's Tor repertoire is very rounded. He is one of only 14 players of these playoffs who achieved at least one field gate per game from the limited area, from the floater range, from the middle tone stand and from the break. He is also fifth in free throwing per game after he has drawn fans and announcers for his tendencies for foul use. This should not be taken into account by the way it could have been even more ineffective: his teammates did not convert five of his potential templates and he only went to five or wide -open threes. He also grabbed one of his five rebound chances, which in the regular season far lower than his 50.4% change rate.

SG/SF Aaron Nesmith, Indiana Pacers at New York Knicks, 9,900 US dollar CP

It is exceptionally unlikely that Nesmith will have six three-point three-point three-point three-point three-point points in the last five minutes of the game, including three in a volley of the kink from nine to two, when it drives one heater on one heating in the last five minutes. Each triple was bold as the last, with a catch -up sticker from the left wing, followed by an early castle, two to an exertion of several feet behind the bow, followed by a firmly competitive left wing from a screen. Nesmith's eight made threes made a career high, so that it is not repeated The Again, but as a 42.3% three -point shooter in his last two seasons, New York has to be careful to leave him open.

The Pacers' crime is quite egalitarian, so every player can go out or stay calm in a certain night. All nine players in the rotation had the usage rates for these playoffs between 17 and 24 percent, with Nesmith being technically the lowest bank of the bank. But he is not only a breastfeeding shooter in four of his last five games also recorded two or more combined theft/blocks and 13 rebounds in the closeout game against the Cloveland Cavaliers made him one of the more versatile, higher assets in this imaginative team. So far, Nesmith has received 30 or more minutes in five different games in this post and recorded in three out of 38.25 or more FPTs.
