After two weeks of domination by Domantas Sabonis and Joel Embiid, the Player of the Week trophies change hands this Monday. It is the wingers Brandon Ingram and Jaylen Brown who are rewarded!
It was thought that the Pelicans – still without Zion Williamson – would eventually sink in the race for the Playoffs in the West, but they now find themselves eighth in the standings following racking up three wins last week. And the first reason behind this beautiful series is Brandon Ingram’s current level: 31.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 10 assists average, all at more than 52% shooting success, 46% at 3-pointers and a perfect 100% at free throws. Injured for a long time this season, BI has regained all its feelings, and the opponents of New Orleans are expensive (even if in the lot there were San Antonio and Charlotte last week).
Another winger who is a hit: Jaylen Brown. Without Jayson Tatum yesterday once morest Spurs, JB dropped a performance with 41 points and 13 rebounds, enough to mark the spirits. But even in previous games, Brown was rather inspired: 27 points once morest Sacramento then Indiana, each time to help the Celtics win, in other words, he assured Jaylen. Under his leadership, Boston has clearly resumed its march forward with three wins in a row, and seven in nine games.
Among the other nominees, in the West we have Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Thunder), Nikola Jokic (Nuggets), Jaren Jackson Jr. (Grizzlies) as well as… Naz Reid (Wolves). In the East, Zach LaVine (Bulls), Tyrese Maxey (Sixers), Franz Wagner (Magic), Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley (Cavaliers) also had a solid record.
