And as far as a big 3, Luka, with the arguable exception of SGA on OKC, is going to be the best player on the court in any of those potential playoff matchups.
I still would make Boston the favorite (they're coasting until April, which has been the plan all year), but Lakers have a decent shot with the way Redick has them going defensively. LeBron also always raises his level in the playoffs but he appears particularly rejuvenated by playing with another all-time great right now.

Some of Lebrons defense is less about being 'rejuvenated' and more about being able to take some plays off on the offensive end. He used to always give up a defensive series (or several) when he needed a break. Now he can do that on offense with Luka driving the play and get his legs back under him for defense.
