Jabari Parker (Milwaukee SF)- Had a strong week, posting a stat line of 14 ppg, 5.75 rpg and 1.5 spg over a four-game stretch. Parker shot 50% from the field (22-44 FG), as the Bucks won two out of their four games, beating the Knicks and Nets early in the week. The 19-year-old was active on defense and on the boards, and continues to mold his game into a complete one. Parker is averaging 11.6 ppg and 5.6 rpg for the season.
Kostas Papanikolaou (Houston SF/PF)- Had his best week of the season, averaging 11.7 ppg, 5.7 rpg, and 3.0 apg during Houston's 3-game stretch. Papanikolaou struggled with his shot (43%), but was able to contribute in other categories, as he saw increased minutes thanks to Dwight Howard's injury. He should continue to receive solid minutes off of the bench, and is averaging 6.2 ppg, 4.5 rpg and 2.8 apg on the season.
Nikola Mirotic (Chicago PF)- Mirotic saw extra minutes as Pau Gasol was hurt, and averaged 14.3 ppg and 7.7 rpg during Chicago's 3-game road trip. The 23-year-old shot 50% from the field, and had his best game of the year, scoring 24 point and grabbing 11 rebounds in a loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. Mirotic continues to showcase a nice shot from the perimeter and will see solid minutes off the bench moving forward.
