Jamal Murray’s numbers don’t actually explode across the board in the playoffs compared to the regular season — except when he’s facing the Lakers. Regular Season (since 18/19): 20 PPG / 4 RPG / 6 APG on 57.1% TS Playoffs vs Lakers: 27 PPG / 5 RPG / 7 APG on 57.4% TS Other Playoff Series: 23 PPG / 4 RPG / 6 APG on 56.0% TS He basically maintains his per-36 scoring from the RS into the playoffs (a normal ~1% efficiency drop), and outside the Lakers series most of his playoff runs balance out — like his elite Jazz 2020 run being offset by the stinker Wolves series in 2024. So is Jamal Murray truly a “playoff riser,” or is he just a nightmare matchup specifically for the Lakers? #NBA #JamalMurray #Lakers #NBAPlayoffs #Nuggets #Denver #Sports
