The NBA has entered the most exciting part of the season with the Playoffs now well underway.
With LeBron James already out of the Playoffs, it is up to the likes of Nikola Jokic and Paul George to battle it out for the right to be crowned champions of the NBA once more.
But which stars are offering their side the biggest bang for their buck? Are the favourites for the championship also the highest paid in 2024?
