Teammates a year ago, before the Kings decided to split them, De’Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton are playing their best basketball since the start of the season, and the NBA has decided to reunite them with the Player Of The Week trophies.
In the East, Haliburton allows the Pacers to garner three wins in three games with 21 points, 11 assists and 4 rebounds on average, but also 2 steals and 1 against. The former Sacramento fullback is the NBA’s leading passer with 10.5 assists per game.
In the West, Fox plays in the same position but he evolves in a different register with 25 points and 8 assists at 60% on shots this week. Like the Pacers, the Kings have won all three of their games this week. They even remain on six wins in a row, and this is a first since 2005.
