Kawhi Leonard
LAC • Forward • #2
Kawhi Leonard accumulated 24 points (10-of-22 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and two three-pointers in 40 minutes in Saturday’s Game 4 loss to the Nuggets.
Leonard has scored at least 21 points in all four games of this series, essentially looking like the elite version of himself. He and Bogdan Bogdanovic (7/4/2 with one three-pointer) were key factors in the Clippers’ 32-9 fourth-quarter run, serving as the “point men” in the team’s 1-1-3 zone. Denver’s offense grinded to a halt down the stretch, but Aaron Gordon’s dunk of a Nikola Jokic miss gave the visitors the two-point win. Leonard and company will look to bounce back on Tuesday, with the Nuggets hosting Game 5.

James Harden

James Harden tallied 15 points (5-of-11 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, 11 assists, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer in 43 minutes in Saturday’s Game 4 loss to the Nuggets.
After attempting at least 14 shots in each of the first three games of the series, Harden was only responsible for 11 in Game 4. And the Nuggets were able to fluster The Beard, with things coming to a head in the form of an altercation late in the second quarter. Harden did make some solid plays late, with the Clippers ripping off a 32-9 fourth-quarter run to get back into the game. However, it wasn’t enough to secure the victory, with the Nuggets pulling even at two games apiece. He’ll need to be better in Game 5 on Tuesday in Denver.
Ivica Zubac

Ivica Zubac recorded 19 points (9-of-14 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), 12 rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in 41 minutes in Saturday’s Game 4 loss to the Nuggets.
Zubac has recorded a double-double in three of the series’ first four games, with Saturday’s effort including a complete stat line. The Clippers’ center has done his best defensively to make life difficult for Nikola Jokic. Although he hasn’t always been successful, Zubac has still managed to make significant contributions offensively. The Clippers now head to Denver for Game 5, scheduled for Tuesday night, with the series tied at two games apiece.
Norman Powell

Norman Powell tallied 22 points (7-of-13 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and four three-pointers in 36 minutes in Saturday’s Game 4 loss to the Nuggets.
After totaling 25 points in the first two games of the series, Powell benefited from the action shifting to the friendly confines of the Intuit Dome. In Games 3 and 4, he shot 14-of-25 from the field and 7-of-16 from beyond the arc. Saturday’s performance included four three-pointers during a 32-9 fourth-quarter run that nearly allowed the Clippers to steal the win. Alas, Aaron Gordon’s dunk as time expired was the difference. With the series now tied at two games apiece, the Clippers will need the “home” version of Powell to show up on the road. Game 5 is scheduled for Tuesday night in Denver.

Nikola Jović

Nikola Jovic led the Heat with 24 points (8-of-15 FGs), five rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Game 4 against the Cavaliers on Monday.
There usually aren’t many positives from a 55-point loss that ends your season, but Jovic’s performance was an encouraging one. He led both teams in scoring, though Cleveland pulling its starters early certainly helped with that. Jovic will turn 22 in June and certainly is one of the bright spots for Miami moving forward. Considering Jovic only returned for the playoffs after being sidelined since February, this type of performance was great to see. He started off last season as a starter and certainly could be in that role again to start next year.
Andrew Wiggins

Andrew Wiggins finished with 12 points (5-of-12 FGs), five rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers in Game 4 against the Cavaliers on Monday.
Wiggins started off this game poorly and entered halftime without any points. He was better after the break, but the damage was already done at that point. This was a poor series for Wiggins to close out a strange year for him. He started off the season with Golden State but was sent to Miami as part of the Jimmy Butler deal. Wiggins is under contract for two more seasons, and unless he is used to match salaries, he will likely remain with the Heat, unless he chooses to opt out after next season.

Michael Porter Jr. (shoulder) is probable to play in Game 5 against the Clippers on Tuesday.
MPJ is still dealing with the left shoulder injury that he suffered in Game 2, but it isn’t expected to impact his availability on Tuesday. He played 42 minutes in Game 4 and scored 17 points with four three-pointers. Expect him to continue to play significant minutes.
