Blake Griffin While the Detroit Pistons season ended in disappointment, as they'll be missing the playoffs for the second season in a row, but they do have something to look forward to. Andre Drummond had arguably the best season of his career and dominated on the glass all season long, Luke Kennard showed promise from beyond the arc, and a defensive trio of Drummond, Stanley Johnson, and Eric Moreland nearly landed them in the top ten for team defense. All of those p...

(January 28-February 3) (February 4-February 10) (February 11-February 17) (February 18-February 24) Jimmy Butler The Minnesota Timberwolves didn't have a bad February...it just wasn't very good. Going 6-4 over the 28 days of the month, having to face the red-hot Houston Rockets twice during the month probably didn't help their cause, but they still managed to have a couple of strong showings and maintained a winning record for February. After February, Minnesota found itself with a 38-26 record, putting them in 5th place in the Western Conference. However, the end of the month did see them take a big hit, as Jimmy Butler went dow...

Jimmy Butler The further along the season goes, the more the Minnesota Timberwolves look like a team that'll be future NBA Champions. Currently holding a 33-22 record, the Timberwolves sit in the 4th seed in the Western Conference and have the 6th best record in the entire league. The current starting five they have is great right now, but the key factor was the offseason addition of three-time (now four-time) all-star in Jimmy Butler. After a bit of an underwh...

DeMar DeRozan The Toronto Raptors had a great December, going 11-3 on the month and moved up to the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference with a 25-10 record on the year. Leading the way for the Raptors was DeMar DeRozan, who had several huge games as he led the Raptors above the Cleveland Cavaliers in the standings. For the month, DeRozan averaged 25.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.1 steals per game wh...

Paul George The Oklahoma City Thunder have not had the smoothest start to their Big 3 era, currently holding an 8-12 record after a terrible November where they went 4-9 on the month. However, it's not without effort, as the Thunder have two players who went above and beyond for the month. The first of which is one of their big off-season additions in Paul George. For the month, George averaged 21 points, 6.7 rebounds, and a league-high 2.9 steals while shooting 42% from the field and 40% from three...
