NBA Daily Notes: The Knicks finally win; Top fantasy picks for January 5th

SG 2 - DeMar DeRozan (San Antonio Spurs)

San Antonio Spurs have been playing really well of late

The San Antonio Spurs are playing some great basketball of late. They have taken over the seventh spot in the Western Conference and have a 22-17 record.

They have won an impressive seven of their last 10 matches and have gone on a three-game winning streak too. DeMar DeRozan is one of their star players and his consistent performances have helped them reach the playoff spots.

DeRozan has been instrumental to the Spurs' success, averaging a massive 23 points per game, along with 6 rebounds and a surprising 6 assists per game as well.

His playmaking dimension was previously not explored since he played with an elite point guard in Kyle Lowry.

But this season, he has been the de facto point guard for the Spurs. In the win over his old team Toronto Raptors, DeRozan grabbed himself his first career triple-double, scoring 21 points, along with 14 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals as well.

He certainly got the better of his old team and now the Spurs will need him to play well against the Memphis Grizzlies tomorrow.

Alternate pick: Jrue Holiday (New Orleans Pelicans)
