4. Tony Allen
The defensive stopper for the Memphis Grizzlies has been given the task of guarding one of the best scorers in NBA history, and he’s doing a hell of a job. Tony Allen has been doing this for a long time and Tayshawn Prince should be given credit for his defensive efforts on Kevin Durant as well.

Allen also finished the incredible Game 3 against the Thunder with 16 points in 31 minutes. Allen is a pest and is putting on one of the best defensive efforts of the entire NBA Playoffs in the series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. If the Grizzlies win this first round series, he might be the biggest reason why.
