The beast we know is back! Russell Westbrook averaged a triple-double in the month of December, Oklahoma City went on a 6-game unbeaten run and he had the best player impact estimate in the given period. That sounds a lot like last year's Westbrook.

He has also been complemented by Paul George and Carmelo Anthony who have turned up with improved performances over the past month.
