Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City PG)- Tallied 21 points, 17 assists and eight rebounds in a 119-94 win over the Denver Nuggets. Westbrook once again stepped up with Kevin Durant out, recording those gaudy numbers in just 27 minutes, making him the only player to do so since Magic Johnson. He is climbing the MVP ladder quickly, as the Thunder are now in the drivers' seat for the eighth playoff seed.

Paul Millsap (Atlanta PF)- Recorded 23 points and 16 rebounds in a 97-86 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. It was Millsap's first double-double in three weeks, and it helped the Hawks snap their two game losing streak. He is scoring just under 17 points, and grabbing just over eight rebounds per game for the top-seeded Hawks.
