How to read it
Each row runs from the regular season (open dot) to that season's playoffs (filled dot). Points a game is plain scoring; true shooting is points per shooting attempt, with free throws counted (points ÷ 2 × (field-goal attempts + 0.44 × free-throw attempts)). The regular season is his games for the team he played the playoffs with. A card needs 8+ playoff games and 250+ playoff minutes, 40+ regular-season games for that team, a swing of at least 5 points a game, and true shooting moving the same way as the scoring (or holding within one percentage point, which the headline calls about the same).
