Kyrie Irving (PG) vs. Stephen Curry (PG)
Kyrie Irving has been an integral piece of the Mavericks this season, starting all 51 games he participated in and averaging 34.5 minutes, 25.4 points and 5.2 assists per contest on average. Irving’s ability to both score efficiently while distributing efficiently (3.1 assist-to-turnover ratio) make him a formidable opponent; his agility and ball-handling skills enable him to create shots for himself as well as others while his defensive contributions (rebounds and steals) add another layer to his value; yet Irving will likely face similar tests from other teams in later contests.
On the other side of things, Stephen Curry remains at the core of Golden State Warriors success. Averaging 26.5 points and five assists per 32.7 minutes played across 67 games played, Curry has been instrumental in their rise, despite an inferior assist-to-turnover ratio (1.8). Yet his leadership, clutch performance, and defensive stats remain impressive and complement his role on the team.
Irving and Curry represent two of the premier guard players in basketball when competing against one another on the court, making their battle between them critical to its outcome. Both possess the ability to dominate games with their scoring and playmaking, as well as effectively managing games while helping improve teammates and creating winning strategies for victory.
