This was the toughest position to pick for this week. Many point guards had amazing weeks. Among them stood out Russell Westbrook and Damian Lillard. Between those two, the pick will be subjective. Instead of snubbing him as usual, we are going with Dame Dolla for his exemplary performances this week.

His shot was off against the Pacers, but they still picked the win. He was outstanding against the Dallas and the Suns.

Other contenders for this position this week:

Russell Westbrook (3-0, 20.3 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 12.0 apg on 47% shooting, 40% from threes)
