Last week's position: N/A

Kevin Durant has been putting up big numbers for the Brooklyn Nets to start the NBA season

The Brooklyn Nets have started out the year a bit slow after going 1-2 over their first three games. Superstar forward Kevin Durant has been impressive as expected. However, Durant finds himself third in the NBA right now in terms of scoring. That includes a recent 38-point performance against the Charlotte Hornets that saw Durant go 17/28 (70.8%) from the field. Brooklyn is set to face the Washington Wizards next, and they hope to pick up a win and get back to .500 on the season.

#2 Paul George (Overall PPG- 35.0, PPG last week- N/A, Total points scored- 70)

Last week's position: N/A

Paul George has been outstanding for the Los Angeles Clippers so far during the NBA season

Heading into the 2021-22 NBA season, fans around the basketball world were curious to see what Paul George could do as the focal point of the Los Angeles Clippers offense. With Kawhi Leonard expected to miss the majority of the season, all eyes will be on what PG13 can do when it comes to being "the guy" in Los Angeles. So far, it's been a heck of an experience watching George on the court. He is currently tied for first in the NBA when it comes to points per game. Most recently, he had a 41-point performance against the Memphis Grizzlies. Unfortunately for the Clippers, they have started out 0-2 and will look to bounce back against the Portland Trail Blazers next.

#1 Ja Morant (Overall PPG- 35.0, PPG last week- N/A, Total points scored- 105)

Last week's position: N/A

Ja Morant has come out firing for the Memphis Grizzlies and leads the NBA in scoring

If you watched the NBA throughout the opening week then you should have heard plenty about how impressive Ja Morant has been to start out the year. The Memphis Grizzlies point guard has been absolutely sensational, as he is currently tied for first in the NBA with Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George with 35.0 points per game. The difference between the two is that Morant has played one more game than George. Morant was on the warpath and almost single-handedly carried the Grizzlies to a win over the Los Angeles Lakers after finishing with 40 points and 10 assists. His efficiency has been notable, as he's currently shooting 58.0% from the field and 44.4% from downtown.
