Must - Luol Deng
- Not sure which direction either of tonight's series are going to go yet, so I'm going to make another safe pick. Deng put up solid numbers in Game 1 against ATL, and am looking for much the same in Game 2. Much like OKC's win over the Grizz last night, I believe that the winner of this game will go on to win the series. Taking Deng leaves me with Rose & Boozer on the Bulls and Johnson & Smith on the Hawks - so I am left with two solid plays on either team. Play it safe people, don't roll the dice on the star players yet.
Bust - Andrew Bynum- I wasn't convinced by his performance in Game 1, and am not any more hopeful for him tonight. The Lakers must win this game, but the onus is on Gasol to improve much more than Bynum. Bynum isn't a top scoring option and the Dallas big men have been eating rebounds away from the Lakers' centre, thereby leaving little room for PR accumulation (and he is not getting A anyway).
