NBA Daily Notes: Paul George - MVP? ; Top fantasy picks for December 23rd

SF 1 - Paul George (Oklahoma City Thunder):

The Oklahoma City Thunder are having an amazing season as of now, tied for the top spot in the Western Conference with the Denver Nuggets and the Golden State Warriors. They have a 21-10 record this season and have won their last 4 games in a row, with a 7-3 run in their last 10 matches.

Most of this is due to the stellar display by their star forward, Paul George, who has kept this team afloat when Russell Westbrook doesn't seem to get going.

Oklahoma City Thunder are top of the league, thanks to PG13

George has been an absolute monster for the Thunder this season, even pushing himself into some MVP conversations with his sensational play. He is averaging 26 points per game, along with 8 rebounds and more than 4 assists per game. He even manages to average 2 steals and a block per game too.

In the game last night against the Utah Jazz, George exploded, scoring another 43 points, his second consecutive game. He also managed to grab 14 rebounds and dished out 6 assists as well. He even managed a superb 5 steals and 1 block too. His play has been amazing for the Thunder and they will hope he keeps it going against the Minnesota Timberwolves tomorrow.

Alternate pick: Kevin Durant (Golden State Warriors)
