Every Monday, the NBA highlights its best players from the past week, and this time the spotlight shines on Nikola Jokic and Trae Young.
The Denver Nuggets kicked off February with a bang, racking up six consecutive wins, and you can bet Nikola Jokic is at the center of this success. The Joker has been nothing short of spectacular, averaging 30 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists per game—typical greatness from the two-time MVP.

It was a big day for Trae Young as well, who recently earned his spot in the All-Star Game while also being named Eastern Conference Player of the Week. This dual honor is well-deserved after Ice Trae’s stellar performance: averaging 31.3 points and 10.5 assists with shooting splits of 48% from the field and 85% from the charity stripe. His efforts have propelled Atlanta to three wins in four games, even amid injuries and roster upheaval.
Honorable mentions:
- West: Devin Booker (PHX), Anthony Edwards (MIN), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC), LeBron James (LAL), Michael Porter Jr. (DEN), and Anfernee Simons (POR).
- East: Jalen Brunson (NYK), Cade Cunningham (DET), Darius Garland (CLE), Jayson Tatum (BOS), and Franz Wagner (ORL).
