One thing about Nurse is he's never going to sacrifice the big picture for a win in February. So I think he'll hold a lot of stuff back in terms of matchups and tactics. Like last year, he used Kawhi on Giannis very sparingly even though it was obviously the Raptors' best matchup on him, until game 3 of the ECF; Giannis couldn't fully adjust to that change mid-series. I think Nurse will be approaching it as seeing what different guys like OG and RHJ can do on Giannis, but will avoid tipping too much about how he actually plans to defend the Bucks the playoffs.
