Outside of the big three, who’s success is crucial to the team winning in 2020?

This shortened season approaching, it has been mentioned many times, is going to cause a mad dash right out of the gate. Instead of hoping that statistical anomalies like a team that was supposed to be bad prior to the pandemic somehow pulls itself together for a magical 60 games stretch, contenders will have to get production from sources they weren’t anticipating getting it from. They will have to depend on players who usually would see hot starts fade once the scouting reports got around about them and hope they can keep up whatever start they can start as long as possible.
