Dillon Brooks - Guard/Forward, Memphis Grizzlies

Something of a lost season for one of the stars of the red-hot and playoff bound Grizzlies, Brooks fractured his left hand during the preseason, causing him to miss eleven of Memphis’ first twelve games. Just as he was rounding into mid-season form— and only two weeks after scoring a career high of 37 points in a win against Portland in December— Brooks injured his left ankle, causing him to miss an additional 27 games.

Payton Pritchard - Guard, Boston Celtics

Having been caught in a numbers crunch and left for dead after the first third of the season, Pritchard found his way back into the rotation and has been playing stellar ball during the Celtics’ sizzling hot play in the second half of the season, including averaging 10.8 points and 2.5 assists in his last twelve games, with Boston going 10-2 in those contests. For the year Da Mayah is averaging 5.8 points and 1.9 assists per game.
