In the playoffs on the road, he averages a bit more at 27 points a game, but that’s still just under this number. He’s averaged 20 points per game in two games against Denver this season and averages 21 points per game on the road. He’s been tested by the best and succeeded.Īs we saw occasionally against Boston, Jimmy can struggle against bigger defenders and Gordon’s 7-foot wingspan will likely give him issues. At home, Gordon’s defensive rating jumps to 21st in the postseason. Through all that, Gordon ranks 27th in defensive rating in the postseason of guys averaging 25 or more minutes, and his defensive win share number ranks 18th. So far in this postseason, he’s guarded the likes of Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and Karl-Anthony Towns.
Mainly because the Nuggets will surely put Aaron Gordon on him for most of the game - and Gordon has had a fantastic defensive playoff run. Jimmy Butler Under 27.5 Points (-118): Despite Jimmy Butler seemingly becoming the second coming of Michael Jordan (at least on Twitter), I’m very excited to fade him in Game 1 tonight. We’re definitely bruised after a rough conference finals but with a week off, the clear eyes and heads are prevailing, so let’s start Game 1 with some wins!
