Who’s Hot in the NBA?

The NBA regular season is winding down and the playoff picture is starting to take shape. Who’s hot and who’s not in the NBA?

Kyrie Irving

Kyrie Irving is one of the hottest players in the NBA right now. He’s been averaging over 20 points per game and is one of the main reasons why the Cleveland Cavaliers are one of the best teams in the league. Kyrie is also a very talented young player who is still improving.

Leads the NBA in scoring

Kyrie Irving is currently leading the NBA in scoring, averaging 28.5 points per game. The superstar point guard has been on a tear lately, scoring 30 or more points in four of his last five games.

The Brooklyn Nets have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA as of late, thanks in large part to Irving’s stellar play. With Irving leading the way, the Nets have won eight of their last 10 games and are currently sitting in sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

If Irving can keep up his torrid pace, there’s no reason why the Nets can’t make a run at a top-four seed in the East and homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

Averaging over 26 points per game

Kyrie Irving is one of the hottest players in the NBA right now. The Cleveland Cavaliers point guard is averaging 26.5 points per game, which is good for second in the league behind only Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Irving is also shooting a career-best 47.8 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from three-point range.

Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry is having an unbelievable season. He’s leading the league in scoring with 30.1 points per game, and he’s also shooting an incredible 52.5% from three-point range. Curry is also averaging 6.7 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game. He’s been the best player in the NBA so far this season, and he’s helped the Golden State Warriors to the best record in the league.

Averaging 30 points per game

Stephen Curry is currently averaging 30 points per game, which is the highest in the NBA. He is shooting an incredible 50% from the field, 45% from three-point range, and 90% from the free throw line. In addition, he is averaging 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game.
