Individual Player Analysis
As Brooklyn travels to take on the Memphis Grizzlies, the Nets’ leading scorer is Kevin Durant. Through 45 games, Durant is averaging 29 points. On the season, he has surpassed his season average in 44.0% of his games. As Durant gets set to take on the Grizzlies, he could be in line for a big game as Memphis is allowing their opponent’s top scorer to surpass their season average in 52.31% of their games. This figure places them 21st among NBA defenses. On the other side, the Grizzlies will be looking for Desmond Bane to carry the scoring load. So far, Bane is averaging 17.9 points per game. However, if he is going to have a big scoring night, he will need to do so against a Nets defense that has been tough on their opponent’s top scorers. So far, leading scores have surpassed their season average at a rate of just 27.59%. This figure is good for a rank for the top spot in the league.
