The NBA announced on Monday that its players of the week were the two superstars Stephen Curry (Golden State) and Kevin Durant (Brooklyn), who will also face each other on Tuesday.
After Miles Bridges and Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Rudy Gobert, and Jarrett Allen and Paul George, the NBA duo of the week for this fourth week of competition is beyond measure! It is indeed Stephen Curry for the Western Conference and Kevin Durant for the Eastern Conference who were elected best players of the past week. The Golden State point guard (33) greatly contributed to the great week of the Warriors, who won three games before losing on the floor in Charlotte on Sunday. In those four games, Curry averaged 34.8 points, 7.8 assists and 5.5 rebounds, including 50 points in the win over Atlanta. Performances that allow the San Francisco franchise to be quite simply the No. 1 in the League. This is the 18th time that Stephen Curry has won the title of player of the week, the first having arrived in November 2014.
Durant player of the week for the 28th time
On the eastern side, Kevin Durant ruled this week with the Brooklyn Nets. The 33-year-old winger has led his team, like Curry, to three wins in four games, including averaging 32.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists. In the Nets’ only loss last week in Chicago, he was the only one to survive, scoring 38 points. Brooklyn is currently second in the Eastern Conference and fourth in the League. This is the 28th time in his career that Kevin Durant has been voted player of the week, the first having arrived in January 2010. On Tuesday, the two superstars will have the opportunity to do battle, as Brooklyn will challenge Golden State at the Barclays Center in a much anticipated shock. Who from Curry or Durant will score the most points?
