No surprise for “Players of The Week” accolades for the final week. In the Western, the NBA has nominated Devin Bookerauthor of a perfect week of the Phoenix Suns collective with three wins in three games (Wolves, Nuggets, Sixers) as well as 37.3 points, with a shooting percentage of 58,1% and an average of 6.3 assists.
In the Eastern, Jayson Tatum is the logical choice with the conquest of the first place by his Celtics, who had a perfect week with three wins in as many outings (Thunder, Jazz, Wolves). Tatum averaged 32 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds per game.
This is the third time this season that the Suns guard has received a “Player of the Week” trophy. Instead it is already the fourth time for Jayson Tatum, the third in March, with a small and significant record. Be the first Celtic in history to go ‘back-to-back’ in ‘Player of the Week’ trophies.
