Player performances and review:

DeMar DeRozan has been playing at an elite level for the San Antonio Spurs ever since he was traded from the Toronto Raptors. He has been averaging 22 points per game, along with a career high 6.5 assists and more than 6 rebounds as well. He even got his first career triple double against the Toronto Raptors last time around and has been continuing his great play.

In the win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, DeRozan did not enjoy a great shooting game, scoring just 16 points off just 32% shooting, but he managed to grab 8 rebounds and get a double double with 11 assists also. He even had 1 block and 1 steal, to stuff up the stat sheet.

The Spurs play the Thunder again tomorrow night and DeRozan is a high reward player who should get in a better game this time around.

Alternate pick: Jrue Holiday (New Orleans Pelicans)
