According to NBA 2K20 No.6 seed Andre Drummond is an archetype Paint Beast and will be putting up his numbers from the inside. He has a solid Overall and Dunk Rating of 85, but he has been on a subtle skid as the 2K season progresses. He boasted an impressive Overall Rating of 89 from Week 3 through to Week 7, but has slid down the charts on a slow but steady pace where he been sitting at his current status for the passed four weeks.
Andre Drummond has +2000 odds to win the entire tournament.
Betting on DeMarcus Cousins, Free Agent (-138)

Dunk Rating: 82
No.11 seed DeMarcus Cousins needs a win, in life in general. The Lakers have made it clear that they are far more likely to resign Dwight Howard than Cousins which leaves the 6’10” big man on the open market, and not so ripe for the picking. But when it comes to this Friday night he has a lot to feel confident about. Boogie recently signed with a gaming group NRG and is playing playing Warzone on Twitch during the penning of this article. Yes indeed, Cousins is a gamer which will bode well for him in his match-up against Drummond.
DeMarcus Cousins has +2500 odds to win the entire tournament.
Writer’s Prediction
DeMarcus Cousins finally has something to celebrate, making it through the First Round of the tournament with a 69-63 win.
