2. Damian Lillard

Stats: 30 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds

I hope no one is forgetting about Damian Lillard. Dame is posting sterling numbers such as a career-highs in points (30.6) and field goal percentage (49.7 percent).

He may not be producing the same number of assists, nor the low-level of turnovers that Westbrook has thus far, but he is still making a case for being a top three point guard in the NBA right now.

On top of his impressive numbers, Lillard has also led his Portland Trail Blazers to a 7-4 record, which is good enough for top 4 in the Western Conference.
