No suspense in the West for the traditional “Players of the Week” in the NBAsince it is Nikola Jokic who wins the trophy, for the first time this season but for the 15th time in his career!
It must be said that the triple MVP averaged 29.5 points, 15.8 rebounds and 14.5 assists for the Nuggets, with 57% shooting success including 50% from 3-point range…
Fifth best scorer, best rebounder and best passer over the period, the Serbian pivot above all allowed his team to win four games out of four, in order to position themselves (7 wins – 3 losses) in the West.
In the East, it is Darius Garland who was chosen and it's no surprise either. With his 25.0 points and 7.3 assists on average over the week, for four victories in as many games, the leader is playing at his best level, and he is essential in the Cavs' perfect start to the season, with 11 victories in 11 games.
For his part, however, this is only the second time that he has received this “Player of the Week” trophy.
