Griffin was an All-Star as recently as 2019, so there's still potential for him to be a force on the court, but injuries have kept him down in recent years, so we'll just have to wait and see which version of the former high-flyer shows up in Brooklyn.

Instead of working on his old-man, YMCA, post-game as his athleticism declined, Griffin instead decided to just settle for chucking up tons of triples, which he’d make at an extremely inefficient rate. He’s never been much of a defender, and he’s also not gobbling up boards like he used to, so his stat set has been reduced to inefficient scoring with some dimes. I don’t foresee any of his numbers improving to the point in Brooklyn where he’d suddenly be worthy of a standard league roster spot, so unless you’re in a 30-team league, I’d let the other suckers deal with the Griffin fool’s gold.

George finished with 32 points, but he struggled mightily when defended by Tatum and Brown. He was particularly ineffective in the fourth quarter when guarded by Tatum and Brown, hitting none of his six shot attempts. Houston Rockets face coverings

One of the most dominant two-way forces in basketball, Anthony Davis is both an elite scorer and defender, even if he doesn't have a Defensive Player of the Year award yet to show for it. Davis was putting up 22.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.8 blocks per game this season before going down with a calf injury. Davis has eight All-Star appearances under his belt, as well as four 1st Team All-NBAs, showing the level he's performed at throughout his career. Facing him, Joel Embiid might be the frontrunner for MVP this year based on his play along with that of his Philadelphia 76ers. The monstrous Embiid, a big man with elite size and quickness for his position to go with a uniquely high skill level for a 7-footer, is averaging 30.0 points this season, the No. 2 mark in the NBA, 11.3 rebounds (ninth in the NBA) and 3.2 assists to go with 1.3 steals and 1.4 blocks. Embiid is also shattering his previous career-best marks in efficiency, shooting 51.9 percent from the floor (his first time over 50.0 percent since reaching the NBA) and 41.5 percent from three (his previous best from there was 36.7 percent). If we were looking at their entire careers, Davis would probably be the choice here, but based on this season alone, there's no doubt who the better big man has been, and it has nothing to do with injuries: It's been Embiid, so that's who we give the edge to in this matchup. Embiid's much-improved shooting would drag Davis out to the perimeter, opening up lanes for his Rest of the World teammates, while his size down low would give him the advantage as far as finishing through Davis on the block.
