#1 Luka Doncic
It was going to take one hell of a week from Doncic to stay at the top and boy he delivered. Doncic averaged 25.5 Points, 4.7 Rebounds and 7.7 Assists to stave off Ayton's charge for now. He set career highs for Assists against the Nuggets and had his 2nd 30 Point game of the season against the Clippers.
The Mavericks had 3 tough games this past week, which they lost, but you certainly can't blame Luka for any of those losses. He continues to put up rookie numbers, which we've only seen LeBron put up and that is as esteemed a company that you can be a part of.

He will have to keep up this level, however, as Ayton is hot on his heels and it no longer looks to be a foregone conclusion that Doncic would be crowned Rookie of the Year. Things will get a bit easier for Luka this coming week with games against the Blazers and Pelicans.
