NBA Team of the Week (Jan. 1 - Jan. 7)

#Point Guard- Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry

Team Record: 3-0

Player Stats in the Week: 35.3 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 5.3 apg on 53.3% shooting, 46.2% from threes

Curry is officially back. What a week for Curry, completely on fire from downtown leading his team to 3-0 in the week. Now the Golden State Warriors are at their rightful place in the Western Conference Standings with a decent gap over the second-placed Houston Rockets. With James Harden out, it is safe to say that the gap will probably increase.

If Curry keeps on playing on this level for the whole year, he might force his way into the top tier of the MVP conversation.

Russell Westbrook (2-1, 25 ppg, 11.3 apg, 9.3 rpg on 51.6% shooting, 100% from threes)

Goran Dragic (3-0, 19.7 ppg, 8.3 apg on 41.8% shooting, 36.8% from threes)
