There is no James Harden, LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard or Giannis Antetokounmpo kind of players on Kings and Thunder’s roster this season, so there are more than a couple of options who can end up with game-high numbers. But still, Buddy Hield and Shai-Gilgeous Alexander look better options.
Both the teams have key players missing here, so bench players like Bazley, Ariza, Ferrell, and Noel could be the game-changer here, Pick at least two of from them.
