After the Rookies, the NBA revealed the names of the two “Players of the Month” for the month of January. No double for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander since the Great League has decided to highlight Devin Booker.
It must be said that the Phoenix point guard/guard had a great month, with 30.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6.3 assists on average, at 54% shooting success. And he won 11 of 16 games with the Suns.
In the East, we expected Jalen Brunson but the NBA preferred to bet on Donovan Mitchell. The fact is that the Cavaliers' guard wasn't bad either, with 28.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 7.6 assists on average, at 47% success. He won 11 out of 13 games with Cleveland, in the absence of Darius Garland and Evan Mobley.
Maybe that’s what made the difference against the Knicks playmaker…
