2. CJ McCollum (Last Week: 2)

Season Stats: 20.9 PPG/3.1 APG/4.1 RPG

Last Week Stats: 19.8 PPG/3.4 APG/3.6 RPG

McCollum and Lillard have quietly began the season as the league’s second highest scoring duo in the backcourt. This week though, what has kept them at the high mark is Lillard’s 30.4 PPG. After a scorching first few games for CJ, he has cooled down. He hasn’t scored north of 30 since that awesomeness that was opening night. He has averaged 17 points in his past two games, and look for him to score big this week with games against Memphis and Charlotte, both of which are in the bottom 10 for defensive efficiency. Fun Fact: CJ has averaged 25.5 points in wins this season, and 16.3 points in losses.
