1.) Damian Lillard (Last Month: 1)

Last ten games: 23.3 PPG / 7.7 APG / 4.3 RPG

Best game: 1/10 vs. OKC – 31 PTS / 9 AST / 7 REB

It appears that Lillard has shaken off the rust from his plantar fasciitis. Portland witnessed a classic “Lillard Time” performance against the the Thunder earlier this month. Combine that performance with his 40 point outing against the Warriors and we have the clear number one ranked player on the roster.

The new year has brought a slight drop in Lillard’s turnover numbers. His comfort level with the new members of the starting line up is getting stronger each week. C.J. McCollum’s rise as a reliable ball-handler has resulted in Lillard getting good spot up shots, which has resulted in his finest three point shooting month of the year (.398 3P%).
