Last week: 8

Curry has been lurking in the MVP rankings since the season began. He’s yet to crack the top 5 this year, but is moving in the right direction after a terrific week. A 3-1 week, with three double-doubles, including a 22-point and 15-assist effort against the Grizzlies, naturally boosts your stock. Curry is picking up his production with Andre Iguodala out, but he has been quite turnover prone.
