The model knows Indiana forward Pascal Siakam is a lengthy but agile scorer in the frontcourt. Siakam owns a soft touch around the rim and is an active force on the glass. In the Game 1 loss, the 30-year-old had team-highs in scoring (36), rebounds (13), and blocks (2). 

The model also knows Milwaukee guard Damian Lillard excels in that No. 1 role. The Bucks were without Giannis Antetokounmpo but that didn't slow down the team. Lillard is a nifty bucket-getter from all three levels while owning good vision as a passer. In Game 1, he totaled 35 points, six boards, and three assists.
