 It's Monday, you know what that means! It's time to take a look back at the past week and see who the best players were around the league. Selections are based mostly on the player's stats, but (minus the rookie of the week) their team's record during the week is also taken into consideration.

Point Guard: Stephen Curry We're on the home stretch of the year, as there are just six days left of the NBA season when this goes up. With only seven teams having locked down a playoff spot and only six being eliminated from contention, over half the teams in the league are still competing for their spot in the postseason. One of those teams is the Golden State Warriors, who have fought through plenty of injuries and hardships to stay in the playoff hunt. Currently, 35-33 on the season after a 3-1 week, the Warriors currently sit at 8th in the West, four games out of the official play...

Point Guard: Luka Dončić While they're in playoff contention right now, the Dallas Mavericks have been a bit disappointing this year. Having an early MVP front runner and one of the better centers in the league, I said before the season started that the Mavericks look like they have a bright future ahead of them. However, we haven't seen that bright future just yet. They're currently 6th in the West right now and hold a playoff spot, but you'd expect more from the team that has one of the absolute best players in the league right now. Things have been looking up in April, ...

Point Guard: Stephen Curry After dominating the second half of the 2010s, the basketball gods have not looked kindly on the Golden State Warriors over the last few seasons. After last season was decimated by injuries, they once again find themselves short-handed without Klay Thompson for the second year in a row. As a result, the Warriors are having a rough season, as they're currently 23-26 on the year and are clinging on to a spot in the play-in tournament. A 1-2 performance this week doesn't help their situation, but if Stephen Curry keeps playing the way he did this week, they ...

( NOTE :  Before I begin, I just wanted to give my condolences to the family of Elgin Baylor. Rest in Peace to one of the greatest players in the history of the game) It's Monday, you know what that means!

Point Guard: Damian Lillard After a brief hiccup where they lost four straight to end February, the Portland Trail Blazers are back on track, as they've gone 7-2 in their last nine games. This includes this week's strong 3-1 outing, which has improved their record to 25-16 on the year, putting them at joint 5th in the West with the Nuggets. The return of CJ McCollum this week has obviously been huge for the team, but D...

Point Guard: De'Aaron Fox In a season where they're looking to finally make the playoffs for the first time since 2006, the Sacramento Kings have been struggling. After going on a nine-game losing streak at the end of February, the team has traded wins-and-loses and now sit at 15-23 on the season, the third-worst in the West right now. This week was more of the same, as the team went 1-1, but if there's anything positive to take away from the last seven days, it's the excellent play of De'Aaron Fox. Fresh off an all-star snub , Fox came out with a vengeance, averaging 31...

Point Guard: Damian Lillard As All-Star weekend comes to a close as I write this, we've pretty much hit the halfway mark of the season. The playoff race is starting to come to a close, and right now, the Portland Trail Blazers are looking good. Currently sitting at 5th in the West with a 21-14 record, a perfect 3-0 outing certainly helped strengthen their position in the playoff hunt. There were multiple players responsible for the Blazers' success this week, and one of them was Damian Lillard. For the week, Portland's sole all-star averaged 29.7 points, 7.7 assists, and 1.7 ste...

Point Guard: Stephen Curry After their disaster of a 2019-20 season, the Golden State Warriors have been able to rebound nicely this year. They're not the absolute powerhouse they were for most of the 2010s, largely due to the departure of Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson's injury, but they now find themselves with a 19-15 record, the 7th best in the West, after a perfect 3-0 record this week. Despite the struggles this season, the Warriors are holding a winning record, and it's largely thanks to Stephen Curry, especially this week. For the week, the two-time MVP averaged 30 point...
