Dang I forgot DFS didn't even play against the Clippers that last game:

So early prediction is I worry Maxi is too hurt to play much (or at all?). The 60% Maxi we are getting may not be enough and that's a problem.
Rick is probably going to do 7 man rotation and I just think this series will feature J Rich much more than he's been used lately bc they have to have his defense. I imagine he will get at least one game to show he can bring it on defense and cut back on his FGA.
With that I think you may be 35+ from Luka, THJ, DFS, KP, Rich, one of WCS or Powell (unclear to me who will emerge) and then Brunson is also a wildcard because this is a tough matchup for him. It would not surprise me at all if Burke gets minutes, given how well he played. Brunson has to show that he can play against these guys.
