The MVP runner-up might need a massive outing to shift the series back to Oklahoma City.
The playoffs are dominated by superstars, and the Oklahoma City Thunder need their star to have a big game.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Lu Dort were both on the Thunder’s 2020 team that fell to the Houston Rockets in the bubble in seven games. Although Gilgeous-Alexander has vastly improved since then, he understands what it takes to keep a season alive. Gilgeous-Alexander has already proven he can lead the team to a win in this series, but if Dallas can continue to shut down his star teammates, it might not be enough. In the second round, Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged 31.4 points, nine rebounds and 7.2 assists.
Although he is one of the best and most consistent scorers in the NBA, a low volume of 3-point attempts has kept him from having more monstrous performances. However, he might need to make some outside shots in Game 6 to make up for Oklahoma City’s struggles.
