Top 5 sibling match-ups expected to happen in the 2021-22 NBA season

#3 Marcus vs Markieff Morris

The NBA has witnessed another set of twins go head-to-head against each other over the past decade. Marcus Morris was the 14th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, with Markieff Morris being the 13th.

After playing for different teams in their rookie season, Marcus joined Markieff in Phoenix for the next two seasons. They have long split since then, with both players playing on opposing sides of the Los Angeles-based teams.

Their head-to-head matchup moving forward will have a different outlook following Markieff's move to the Miami Heat. Although Marcus is more effective offensively, Markieff has better stats in every other aspect of the game.

#2 Lonzo vs LaMelo Ball

It will be exciting to see the showboating LaMelo Ball take on Lonzo Ball in another enticing matchup. LaMelo could get help this time if the Charlotte Hornets proceed to sign LiAngelo Ball as well.

In the meantime, two of the Ball brothers are guaranteed to play against each other in the 2021-22 NBA season. Lonzo was recently traded to the Chicago Bulls and will play his fifth season alongside elite players like Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan.

LaMelo is coming off an award-winning season and the 2021 NBA Rookie of the Year is expected to take his game to the next level. The two brothers are known for their impressive court vision, which will make this matchup fun to watch. While Lonzo is the older brother, LaMelo is the more exciting player and arguably the more athletic one as well.

Although the Hornets lost to the Pelicans the last time both teams met in the NBA, LaMelo was the better player. Lonzo registered 12 points, six assists and three rebounds in 30 minutes of play while LaMelo finished the game with 22 points, five assists, four rebounds and two steals in 31 minutes.

#1 Stephen vs Seth Curry

The Curry matchup is perhaps the most anticipated one in the NBA as both players are lethal from beyond the arc. Stephen Curry will likely have his splash brother back, which might give the Golden State Warriors an edge. However, the presence of Joel Embiid might help swing the game in favor of the Philadelphia 76ers and Seth Curry.

Steph is, however, the favorite to win the matchup. His handle and shooting range seem to be light years ahead of Seth.

Perhaps the most memorable matchup between the Curry brothers was during the 2019 NBA Western Conference Finals. Seth did a good job disrupting Steph's rhythm, but Steph led the scoring in every game and led the Warriors to a sweep against the Portland Trail Blazers. Seth recorded a total of seven steals in the series, most of which came against Steph.

If they do clash once again in the 2021-22 NBA season, it could prove to be an exciting watch.
