 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: Stephen Curry Starting off this week we have someone who has been absolutely on fire over the last few weeks in Stephen Curry. As I've mentioned the last few weeks, the Golden State Warriors have had a rough go of things this year. However, the last few weeks have seen them pick up steam, as they've gone 5-2 over their last seven games and currently sit at 28-29 on the year, putting them at 9th in the West. A big reason for their recent success has been Curry, who takes the point guard spot for the third straight week after a phenomenal recent stretch. In a week where...

Point Guard: Stephen Curry As I said last week, the Golden State Warriors have been going through a rough patch the last few years. While they're not nearly as bad as they were last season, injuries have kept the Warriors well below where they were just two years. Currently 25-28 on the year after a 2-2 week, the Warriors find themselves in 10th in the West, holding onto the final spot in the play-in tournament by just a game and a half. The Warriors are holding on by a thread, and it's been Stephen Curry who's been keeping them afloat this year. For the week, Curry averaged 3...

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 ...

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...

If not, let's get into this. Point Guard: Stephen Curry After a rough start to the season, the Golden State Warriors have been able to rebound somewhat this past week, picking up their first two wins of the season after going 2-1. They're still at the bottom of the West with a 2-3 record on the year and have some glaring issues that need to be fixed (I'm looking at you, Kelly Oubre Jr. and your 4% three-point shooting), but things are looking a lot better than they did a week ago. A big part of that was, unsurprisingly, Stephen Curry, who has had to take on the role as the team's sole all-star at the moment, and this week, he didn't disappoint. For the week, Curry averaged 31 points, 5 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 47% from the fiel...

With another week of the NBA season in the books, in the pocket, and out of sight, it's time to take a look at the best players of the last week. If you missed last week's, click here . If not, let's get into it, these are the 10 best players of the week. DeMar DeRozan As the season continues to move forward, the more it looks like the DeMar DeRozan-Kawhi Leonard trade was a rare one where both teams won. While the Spurs do have a slightly worse record than the Raptors right now, they still hold a 6-2 record on the season and are currently in third in the Western Conference. This week, the Spurs went a perfect 3-0, and it was mostly thanks to their new star player in DeMar DeRozan. For the week, DeRozan averaged 28.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 58% from the field and a perfect 19/19 from the free throw line. DeRozan's best performance of the week came against the Dallas Mavericks when he dropped 34 points, 6 rebounds...
