<\/div>

The year 2020 has been a very difficult year for everyone all over the world. The United States of America has been especially in the eyes of the storm this year as the coronavirus took its worst toll on the country, the civil unrest followed in its wake with the black life matters movement, and then came the wildfire burning millions of acres of land and rendering many people homeless. In the midst of all these woes, the unconquerable human spirit has risen with a determination to continue the pursuit of happiness.<\/p>\n

Therefore, when the NBA Playoff which is native to the United States of America commenced, the world\u2019s attention was turned once again to the fascinating beauty of the game of basketball, its thrills, and the online betting<\/a> opportunities the event offers. We have not been disappointed so far as the games have produced some spectacular displays with all the dunks and blocks.<\/p>\n

The stars have indeed come out to shine, and betting on these stars could never be wrong. Let\u2019s take a look at the star performers so far in the 2020 NBA Playoff.<\/p>\n

LEBRON JAMES \u2013 LOS ANGELES LAKERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

LeBron is not new to the role of living up to the big occasion as he battles for his fourth NBA title with the Los Angeles Lakers. It would not be wrong to say that the entire LA Lakers team revolves around LeBron. In this campaign so far, LeBron averages 25.3 points per game with 7.8 rebounds, and 10.2 assists. The Small Forward had a commanding performance against Houston Rockets the last time out.<\/p>\n

JIMMY BUTLER \u2013 MIAMI HEAT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arguably the best player in the Miami Heat\u2019s fold. The team\u2019s performance in the playoff has been down to his immense contributions with the ouster of the No 1 seeded Milwaukee Bucks as a testament to his efforts in the team. Jimmy\u2019s per game average statistics stands at 19.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists as at the last count.<\/p>\n

JAMAL MURRAY \u2013 DENVER NUGGETS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jamal made a total of 40 points and 4 rebounds in the crushing defeat of the Los Angeles Clippers the last time out in one of the remarkable comebacks of the series so far. This highlights the huge contributions of one of the standout players in the playoff so far with a per games average of 18.5 points, 4.0 rebound, 4.8 assists. The 23 year old Point Guard is not only a star for the future but a star shining and leaving the dream in the present. Jamal is indeed one of the starts that rule the Western conference.<\/p>\n

JAYSON TATUM \u2013 BOSTON CELTICS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jayson has developed into an all round superb player from the free scoring rookie of the 2018 season as he has shored up his game in the areas of defence, rebound, and playmaking. He was instrumental to his team\u2019s victories over the Philadelphia 76ers, and Toronto Raptors. His statistics per game average stands at 23.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists.<\/p>\n

KAWHI LEONARD \u2013 LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Clippers\u2019 star has been on fire this term out with great consistency and excellent display. As at the last count, Leonard\u2019s statistics per game stood at 27.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 4.9 assists. He has carried his team with great poise and confidence all through the series.<\/p>\n

BAM ADEBAYO \u2013 MIAMI HEAT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Miami Heat is in the finals of the 2020 Eastern conference thanks to Adebayo\u2019s spectacular display along with his team mates particularly Jimmy Butler. The two have practically dragged the team all the way to the finals and Adebayo has displayed some quality play all through the series. The Power Forward of Nigerian descent made 18 points, 6 rebound, and 9 assists against the Boston Celtics in their last game. His game statistics in the series stands at 15.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 5.1 assists.<\/p>\n

NIKOLA JOKIC \u2013 DENVER NUGGETS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nikola has earned the praise of his team mates and that of basketball fans across the globe with his performance in the playoff so far. At his last outing, he contributed 16 points, 22 rebounds and 13 assists to help Nuggets beat the LA Clippers. His combination with teammate, Jamal has seen them bring the team back from the brinks of elimination to reach the finals of the Western conference for the first time in 11 years. Nikola averages 19.9 points per game with 9.7 rebounds, 7.0 assists.<\/p>\n

ANTHONY DAVIS \u2013 LOS ANGELES LAKERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anthony no doubt lives in the shadows of LeBron James giving the dominant displays of the 35 year old season after season. But Anthony can hold his own in any team. His brilliance all through the playoff cannot be overlooked. His exceptional two-way play and improved outside shot offensive is a valuable asset for his team. His average per game stands at 26.1 points, 9.3 rebound, and 3.2 assists.<\/p>\n

There are other stars like James Harden of the Houston Rockets, Giannis Anetokoumpo of the Milwuakee Bucks, Donovan Mitchell of Utah Jazz, and Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks who have also done exceptionally well in this year\u2019s playoff.<\/p>\n

The stars and their performances so far has made betting on basketball<\/a> a rewarding experience for a lot of bettors who explore the variety of markets in the sport to build their bet list. The entertainment value has not been wanting despite the absence of fans within the various arena of play. It is hoped that the next edition of the event will witness the return of fans to cheer their favorite teams to victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
