Small Forward - Andrew Wiggins (Golden State Warriors)

Andrew Wiggins is the second option on the Golden State Warriors' offense. He's been playing well for the team in the 2020-21 NBA season.

Against the LA Lakers in the previous game, Wiggins did not take many shots but was efficient, scoring 18 points in 31 minutes. He made seven of his 11 field goal attempts and three of his shots beyond the arc.

Overall, Wiggins has been a good asset for the 2020-21 Golden State Warriors as he is averaging 18 points and five rebounds with 44/39/71 shooting splits.


Power Forward - Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors)

Draymond Green does not have flashy numbers, especially in terms of scoring. However, he is still as important as any other player in Steve Kerr's system and was great on both sides of the floor down the stretch against the LA Lakers.

Green is the vocal leader of a Golden State Warriors team that is still looking for consistency, and a win against the San Antonio Spurs should be big for them.

Green is leading the team in assists per game with 6.9. He is a good playmaker who is always looking to set up his teammates in the right spot. On defense, he is the most active, and his presence is big for the Dubs.


Center - LaMarcus Aldridge (San Antonio Spurs)

At 35 years of age, LaMarcus Aldridge has not looked like the player he was a couple of years ago or even last year. However, he is an important figure in Gregg Popovich's dynamic and is their best presence in the paint.

In the 11 games he has played, Aldridge is averaging 14 points per night (the lowest since his rookie season). He has made 49% of the shots he's taken in his NBA career, but he has made 44% this season. Of course, he is likely to improve in this aspect.

Aldridge also made 39% of his three-pointers last year, while he made 29% this season. If those numbers go up, we can still see him averaging close to 20 points per night. Having said that, the seven-time All-Star is still giving the San Antonio Spurs 14 points and five rebounds per game.
