Pacers potential playoff opponents preview: Washington Wizards
SMALL FORWARD
Matchup: Wizards: Otto Porter v Pacers: Bojan Bogdanovic
Advantage: Draw.
Analysis: If you poke around on the NBA player comparison-thingy you’ll see Porter has better numbers than Bogdanovic, but not by much. Both are having career years, and Porter is the King of scoring in the teens (he’s been between 10-19, 42 times this year). But it’s Bojan who’s been posting the bigger numbers lately (Bogdanovic is averaging 19 ppg on 52% FG and 44.4% from deep; Porter is averaging 14.8 on 55.8% FG and 68.5% from 3), but not by the percentages. These two are playing very close to each other, they should equal each other out.
