A. . PG. Oklahoma City Thunder. DENNIS SCHRODER

Another night, another great game from Dennis Schroder off of the OKC Thunder bench. The 6th man of the year front-runner scored 22 points off the bench as he bounces back from his rough night against the Spurs.

Best Opponent:

A. . PF. New Orleans Pelicans. ZION WILLIAMSON

This young man’s game is absolutely amazing to watch. Zion Williamson scored 32 points,  his new career-high, and lead his team all night long. The OKC Thunder simply could not stop him once he got inside the paint, as his speed and size are too much for most defenders. He is going to one of the most special players the NBA has seen in a long time.

Next up is the All-Star break this upcoming weekend in Chicago, Illinois. OKC Thunder players Chris Paul and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be participating in a few events so be sure to tune in!

Next. Lu Dort’s uprising couldn’t have come at a better time. dark
