Unless you’re a Cavaliers, Rockets or Thunder fan, each month, there will be a different MVP. Throw the Grizzlies in this category too.
Since Mike Conley broke his back, Marc Gasol has taken control of this team, and it doesn’t look like he’s stopping now.
So far this season, he’s averaging 20.7 points (his previous career-best was 17.4 in 2014-2015) and shooting 40.9 percent (on 3.7 attempts per game) from downtown.
In January, the All-Star scored 23.6 points in 14 games. He put on a five-game clinic where he scored 28, 28, 32, 42 and 32 points.
