Captain options:
Anthony Davis: He was not at his usual best in the last game debut didn’t need to as well as his teammates did enough to clinch yet another win.

He also leads the team with 9.9 rebounds, 3.0 blocks per game as well as the joint best 1.3 steals per game. He is a complete package and can win the game on his own.
LeBron James: Dropped yet another triple-double in the last game. The King averages 24.3 points per game. The three-time NBA champion is leading the whole league with 11.1 assists per game.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Leads the Thunder with 19.7 points per game. He will be the key to his team’s chances in this game.
Chris Paul: The 34-year-old is a classy player, who at 34-year of age, has nothing to prove, having been at the top of the game for more than a decade.
