The King is back in our team of the week!

What a week for LeBron, he became the youngest player to get to 30k regular season points. Cleveland got out of the slump and got two back to back wins. This week will be interesting to watch, as they have Detroit on the road, the rolling Heat and Houston at home. These matches will show how much out of the slump are they, as they aren't able to win on the road and also are unable to win against quality teams yet.

Lebron has cooled down a bit from the start of the season, but that was bound to happen as Cleveland has a habit of losing concentration in the regular season. Nonetheless, he is in the top three in the MVP conversation right now and would want to finish strong before the all-star break.

Other contenders for this position this week:

Paul George (4-0, 25.8 ppg, 2.8 spg on 44% shooting, 34% from threes)

Khris Middleton (3-0, 25.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg on 64% shooting, 56% from threes)
