He&#8217;s 6-foot-8, with as much athleticism as anyone on the Warriors&#8217; roster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kuminga averaged 4.6 rebounds during the regular season and had 11 total boards across Games 2 and 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if it&#8217;s another quiet night on the glass, though, Kuminga&#8217;s scoring touch can carry him most (if not all) of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In three playoff games without Curry, Kuminga is averaging 23.7 points on 59.5% shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Randle 20+ points<\/strong> (-182):<\/strong> Randle has a $31 million player option for next season, but based on his playoff results, I think he&#8217;s earned himself a lot more money by opting for free agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s more basketball to be played first, though, and Randle is a key reason why the Timberwolves are one win shy of the conference finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>23.3 PPG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>15+ points in 9 of 9 games<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>20+ points in 7 of 9 games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not like Randle&#8217;s shooting numbers are off the charts, either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He had a 48.5 FG% and 34.4 3PT% during the regular season.
