Stats: 17.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 2.8 steals
Record: 14-5
Previous Ranking: N/A
Chris Paul has made a remarkable jump in the MVP ladder. As he is one of the most fearless leaders in the NBA, Paul is making his presence known when it comes to MVP talks.
The Clippers are currently on a three game skid, however before that they went on an 11-1 spurt. While Paul may not put up the most eye-popping stat lines, he gets the job done in crunch time just as good as anyone.
With fellow teammate Blake Griffin also in the MVP race, the Clippers are out to prove they can contend with anyone in the league.
