Nikola Jokić Leading Nuggets

3. Milwaukee Buck’s striker Giannis Antetocounmpo

He will certainly make a difference after giving six games with a left calf pollution that also forced him out of the all-star game. And even after Antetokounmpo had returned, the team was careful; Antetocounmpo played only 21.5 minutes in his first two games, well below his season average of 34.2. As long as he stays healthy, it should continue to be productive – especially with the goals that may be able to continue climbing in the east. In Milwaukee’s most recent game, Antetocounmpo achieved a seven number of points against Miami and scored 23 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists. The most promising, however, was that he did this in 32 minutes.

2. Oklahoma City Thunder Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

If Jokić is number 1 on this list, Gilgeous-Alexander is a 1A. Gilgeous-Alexander leads the NBA in the rating (32.3 points per game) and is still one of the more automatic players in the league. He also helps his thing that Oklahoma City (46-10) expanded his leadership in the Western Conference and is 26: 5 in the last 31 games. What does the MVP case of Gilgeous-Alexander so interesting, what may also be unattractive for some is that he does it at both ends. He is third in the NBA in Steals (1.9) per game and the defense assessment of the thunder, when it is on the floor, 103.5. Nevertheless, the most amazing status of the entire NBA season is that Gilgeous-Alexander has scored more than a quarter (26.8%) of Oklahoma City points this season.
