RANK | PLAYER | RUNDOWN | LAST |
1 | ERIC BLEDSOE, G, PHOENIX: Have to keep Baby LeBron at the top after a MyPlayer-like 20-4-4-2-3 line in Saturday’s win over the 76ers. He averaged 17 points and 6 dimes in December and is shooting a career-best 49 percent on a career-high 13 shots per game. That’s efficiency right there. | 1 | |
2 | KHRIS MIDDLETON, F, MILWAUKEE: The Middle Man has been on a tear since mid-December, reaching double figures in 8 straight games. He had 23 and 9 Saturday vs. the Wolves and is averaging 21 and 7 in his last four contests. He’s actually the Bucks’ go-to-guy, incredible considering he was a go-fer last season. | 2 | |
3 | ANDRE DRUMMOND, C, DETROIT: Put up a symmetrical 16 and 16 in Monday’s loss to the Wizards. He continues to excel even though his sorry squad has set back defense 60 years in losing five of six. EEEEEE-TROIT BASKETBALL!! Maybe that’s why you were benched, J-Smoove. | 3 | |
4 | ISAIAH THOMAS, G, SACRAMENTO: The Namesake is making everyone forget there ever was another Isiah Thomas. OK, maybe not (sorry, Knicks fans), but Thomas scored 27 with 9 dimes in Sunday’s loss to the Spurs. He also put up 22 and 11 in Friday’s win over the Heat. His 22.8 PER ranks 12th in the NBA. | 4 | |
5 | MILES PLUMLEE, C, PHOENIX: Not gonna lie, I hate Duke like Dwight hates Kobe. But you can’t deny Plumlee’s recent production. He put up an absurd 17 points and 20 rebounds in last week’s blowout win over the Lakers, then scored 22 and grabbed 13 boards in Saturday’s win over Philly. |
