If you’ve been following basketball closely, you’ll know the following players have been playing out of their minds. If not, it’s time to play catch up. Here are some of the hottest players in the league.
Guards
Mo Williams - In his last fourteen games, Mo is averaging 20.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.9 steals, and 1.5 three pointers. He’s shooting 47.1% from the field and 88.9% from the line during that stretch. He’s not the most well-known PG, but he’s a good one.
Jose Calderon - Jose was once featured in my NBA Waiver Wire Bin feature, but he’s continued his stellar play, and moved up to the “must start” ranks. In his last 13 games, Jose is averaging 14.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.2 three pointers per game. He’s shooting an unbelievable 52.4% from the field and a solid 89.3% from the line. He had two games in December with 16 assists.
Forwards
Hedo Turkoglu - Hedo is another guy featured in my Waiver Wire Bin feature. He started hot and has kept rolling. In his last 15 games he’s averaging 19.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.5 blocks, and 2.0 three pointers per game. He’s shooting 43.7% from the field and 91.7% from the line. He’s scored in double-figures in all but one game this year.
Mike Miller - Mike Miller is a force on offense. He does it all. In his last 15 games he’s averaged 17.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.5 assists, and 2.5 three pointers per game. He’s shooting 54.4% from the floor and 83.3% from the line. Most important is the fact that he’s staying healthy.
Centers
Samuel Dalembert - Dalembert is a force on both sides of the ball. In his past 14 games he’s averaging 12.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks per game. He’s shooting 54.6% from the field and 79.5% from the line. He’s grabbed at least 14 rebounds in seven games during that stretch, including at least 15 in three of his past four games.
