Eric Gordon, Houston Rockets: Having missed Houston’s initial three games with a left ankle injury, Gordon could remain on the sideline for two weeks and although the team has many players to shoot and defend, none are quite like Gordon. Danuel House is believed to be a good rangier defender and spot-up shooter. However, even he lacks Gordon’s skills.
Maxi Kleber, Dallas Mavericks: Before Dwight Powell suffered from a season-end knee injury, the Maverick’s offense had primarily been around their Luka led pick and roll attack. However, after Powell’s injury, they leaned more on playing five-out offense. This had been even better for Maxi Kleber who is one of the most efficient roll men of NBA besides being a 37 percent 3 point shooter. He has an amazing horizontal and vertical gravity.
