Otto Porter Jr. - F - Washington Wizards

Otto Porter played 21 minutes off the bench in Friday's loss to the Heat, scoring 14 points on 7-of-14 shooting with six rebounds, one assist and three steals.

Porter had a bonehead foul late but was otherwise solid in this one. "Otto's feeling much better," Scott Brooks said. "We just want to keep his minutes at a manageable spot for the next game or two and go from there." Our guess is that he'll creep up over 25 minutes in the next one and Brooks could bump him up to his projected 30 mpg ahead of schedule and we wouldn't be shocked.

Kevin Durant - F - Golden State Warriors

Kevin Durant scored 28 points on 10-of-20 shooting with nine rebounds, four assists, a steal, a 3-pointer and seven blocks against the Kings on Thursday.

Durant set a career-high with seven blocks tonight and six of them came in the first half. We've seen a few block parties hosted by him before so it's not like this type of line is too surprising, but it's good to see him being active on the defensive end of the floor again. In his last five games he's averaging 2.6 blocks but only 0.4 steals.

DeMarcus Cousins - C - Golden State Warriors

DeMarcus Cousins double-doubled against the Kings on Thursday with 17 points and 10 boards while chipping in three assists, a block and a 3-pointer.

Cousins logged 27 minutes and has surpassed the 25-minute mark in his last four games played (excluding the Blazers game he sat out). Stashing him has paid off and the all-around production will keep coming.

Klay Thompson - G - Golden State Warriors

Klay Thompson scored 18 points on 6-of-16 shooting with three 3-pointers, five rebounds, four assists and a steal on Thursday.

Thompson was a bit icy from deep from his standards but the Warriors got enough firepower from their main two superstars to pull through with a win.

Draymond Green - F - Golden State Warriors

Draymond Green logged 34 minutes on Thursday and scored 12 points on 3-of-6 shooting with six rebounds, eight assists, a steal and three 3-pointers.

Green came through for the Warriors at the end of this game and it was his best shooting display from deep in quite some time. He's gaining confidence (not like he needed anymore) and was integral for the Warriors in the fourth quarter as they barely pulled out a win against a tough Kings team.

Marvin Bagley III - F - Sacramento Kings

Marvin Bagley went bananas on Thursday, scoring 28 points on 8-of-19 shooting with 14 rebounds, a steal and a 3-pointer.

Bagley feasted on the Warriors and brought his high energy on both ends of the floor. The Warriors looked like they had no answer for the booming rookie and his stock has been trending upwards for quite some time now.

Nemanja Bjelica - F - Sacramento Kings

Nemanja Bjelica received a DNP-CD against the Warriors on Thursday.

Bjelica is now the odd man out with Bogdan Bogdanovic starting and Harrison Barnes entering the fray as well. It doesn't help that Marvin Bagley has been going bonkers and as of now Bjelica is waiver wire fodder.

Bogdan Bogdanovic - G - Sacramento Kings

Bogdan Bogdanovic started on Thursday and scored 14 points on 5-of-10 shooting with a 3-pointer, three rebounds, six assists and two steals.

Bogdanovic finally drew the start and it's about time the Kings started their best forward. He and De'Aaron Fox are both playmakers and it's good to see them both handing out enough dimes to keep their owners satisfied.

Buddy Hield - G - Sacramento Kings

Buddy Hield scored 19 points on 8-of-19 shooting with two triples, seven boards, two dimes and a swat on Thursday against the Warriors.

Hield went 2-for-8 from deep but still found a way to get up to his scoring average for the season. Him and De'Aaron Fox (18 points on 6-of-14 shooting with three rebounds, eight assists, three steals, a block and two 3-pointers) played against the backcourt they're hoping to be in the next few years but as tonight showed, they're still a couple steps behind.

Harrison Barnes - F - Sacramento Kings

Harrison Barnes scored 13 points on 5-of-12 shooting with seven rebounds, an assist and a 3-pointer on Thursday.

Barnes had an empty scoring line and the volume is going to be lowered on the Kings. He's joining a team with more mouths to feed than the Mavs so his value is going to take a dip.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - F - Milwaukee Bucks

Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks in their 98-97 win on Thursday against the Celtics with 30 points on 11-of-19 shooting while adding 13 rebounds, six assists, a steal, two blocks and a 3-pointer.

Antetokuonmpo started off the game slow and neither team could buy a bucket in the first quarter, but he was able to finish the game strong and lead his team to another win. While other players are tearing up the box scores in streaks, the Freak has consistently carried the Bucks to the best record in the league with averages of 27.2 points, 12.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks on .581 shooting. If we're going by the best player on the best team then Antetokounmpo is without a doubt the MVP.
