NBA 2018-19: Best Players - Week 22

#1. Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks)

The Milwaukee Bucks star has been amazing this week

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been making a push for his maiden MVP title this season and has been performing really well all season long and this week has been no different as he led the Milwaukee Bucks to 2 out of 3 wins this week, the last one being a solid game for Giannis on a personal level but failed to get the win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

This season, Giannis found another gear, averaging 27.5 points, 12.7 rebounds and 6 assists a game, something that is very difficult to achieve for a big man. He has also been a superb defensive force, averaging 1.3 steals and 1.4 blocks a game.

This week, he had a huge night against the Philadelphia 76ers, where he scored a massive 52 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists, along with 2 steals and a block in just 36 minutes. He scored 33 points, 16 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks in another massive night against the Heat as well.

In the game against New Orleans, he played just 26 minutes but still had 24 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in the win. Giannis has been playing at MVP levels and the Bucks would want him to keep playing like this in the run towards the playoffs.
