PG 2 - Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder):

Oklahoma City Thunder are having a wonderful season as of now, and are currently 3rd in the Western Conference with a 25-14 record. They have won only 6 of their last 10 games, showing some regression in their performance of late, and lost their last game against the Washington Wizards, 116-98.

Russell Westbrook was their best performer and probably needs to be that for them each game.

In the loss against the Washington Wizards, Westbrook played a starring role, scoring 22 points, along with 13 assists, 15 rebounds and one big block.

The Thunder play the Minnesota Timberwolves next and will be hoping for another top performance from Russell Westbrook.

Alternate pick: Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors)
