NSL Insider - Suns (2) Vs Kings (3)by Joshua, updated on Wednesday, May 06 2020, 12:51 pm EST Suns (2) Vs Kings (3) What a match up! Two
admins, two heavyweights and two quality sides will be going head to head it
what could be one of the closest series of the entire payoffs! Which team will
get up nobody knows but The King will be doing all he can to drag his side to
victory whilst the Suns will go with a more well rounded approach lead by the
insatiable Jimmy Butler and Point God Chris Paul. Both these teams made many
changes and trades throughout the season but ended up finishing only 3 wins apart
in the tough Western Conference with the Suns (55-27) pipping the Kings
(52-30). The Suns were the more defensive side of the two whilst the Kings put
up points in a hurry making it a match of play styles just as much as much of
two supremely skilled squads. Without further ado lets introduce said squads. Centres Nerlens Noel vs
Jusurf Nurkic
Looking
at the stats there isn’t a whole lot of difference between the player until you
look at minutes played, Nurkic is much more productive per 36 minutes. Big Nurk
can be an offensive hub and a decent defender in the right match ups which this
one is so he should do well here. Noel
is an athletic defensive beast and will do everything he can to stop Nurkic
attack the boards and score in the paint but I worry the Bosnian Beast will be
too sting here. Winner:
Phoenix Power Forwards Serge Ibaka vs Marquese Chriss
