Check out their performances from the past week of action.
LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers
The superstar forward helped the Lakers to 3-1 tally in Week 14 with averages 35 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 1.3 blocks. James scored a season-high 48 points to go along with eight rebounds and nine assists in the Lakers’ win over the Rockets last Monday, his third 40-point game of the season. Additionally, James became just the fourth player in NBA history to make at least 8,000 career free throws in the Lakers’ loss to the Kings on Tuesday.
Jrue Holiday, Milwaukee Bucks
The skillful guard led the Bucks to a 2-1 record in Week 14 with averages of 33.3 points, 9.3 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 56.9% from the field and 47.8% from three. In back-to-back games, Holiday set a new season-high in scoring, first scoring 35 points in a win over the Pacers on Monday, before scoring a season-high 37 points in Tuesday’s win over the Raptors. This marked the first time in his career scoring 35+ points in consecutive games.
