5. Ty Lawson – Denver Nuggets

Last week: N/A

Lawson is back. The Nuggets’ point guard made a brief appearance earlier in the month, but dropped off a little. However, Denver has climbed out of their hole and are 9-6 on the season, proud owners of a five-game winning streak heading into a little road trip. Lawson continues to be one of the best point guards in the West and was instrumental in all three Nuggets wins this week.
