Jaren Jackson Jr. (PF) vs. Nikola Jokic (C)
Jaren Jackson Jr. has been a pillar of strength for Memphis, with 22.5 points and 5.5 rebounds on the averages. Blocks are his weapon. He averages 1.6 of them per game, and he makes a substantial contribution to team defense with this skill. Yet, a different issue may be his ability to control turnovers and avoid fouls because he will be up against a very tough opponent, The Nuggets.
On the contrary, Nikola Jokic also made an MVP yield for the Denver team, with the averages of 26.1 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 9 assists per game. His 3.1 assist-to-turnover ratio means that his ball handling is effective, a feature that makes him the key player in Denver’s offense and a very tough nut to crack for the opponents.
It would determine who succeeds in the duel between Jokic and Jackson Jr. whereas Jackson Jr. may provide the athleticism and defensive coverage, Joker’s round game skills and leadership could determine the speed and outcome for the game to be a match of different styles.
