NBA Player Power Poll - King James Sits on Top
by Mike Rose

Anyone can put together a set of NBA power rankings involving teams quite easily. But you can only find a list of the top players to their team right here at BetUS Sportsbook!
1: LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers (29.7 PPG, 7.1 RPG, 7.8 APG) (LW: 1) King James stays atop the NBA power rankings after nearly posting a triple-double against Toronto (28 points, 11 assists, 9 rebounds) and then going for 37 against the Lakers in the battle of Kobe vs. LeBron at "The Q." The Cavs may have only split the NBA betting proceedings for the week, but they wouldn't have won either game SU without their superstar.
2: Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Thunder (29.2 PPG, 7.2 RPG) (LW: 4) Hey guys. I'm Kevin Durant! The former Texas Longhorn has just gone nuts lately, scoring at least 30 points in all but one of his L/7 games (and in that one he "only" went for 29). Four double-doubles in there helps move the OKC star up this week in the NBA betting player poll.
3: Carmelo Anthony, Denver Nuggets (29.7 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 3.3 APG) (LW: NR) Anthony proved his value to the Nuggets when he was out of the lineup. Over the L/5 games that he missed due to a knee injury, Denver went just 3-2 SU and averaged 106.4 points per game. With him back in the fold, the Nuggs are a perfect 5-0 SU against significantly more difficult competition, and they have scored 114.0 points per game. Melo has scored at least 23 in all five of those games and has played at least 34 minutes in each to boot.
4: Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks (25.5 PPG, 7.9 RPG (LW: NR) Dirk doesn't have a ton of tremendous eye-popping games that make you go "Wow". But night in and night out, he’s the most consistent Maverick and the reason his squad is competing for the division title against some stiff opposition in the Midwest. The key game for Nowitzki this week was a 37 point outburst at Boston Garden. Putting up that many points on the C's is never easy, particularly when you're a big man. That alone is worth making the poll.
5: Zach Randolph, Memphis Grizzlies (20.8 PPG, 11.5 RPG) (LW: NR) At the outset of the season when the Grizzlies were god awful, Randolph was contributing, but he wasn't nearly the force that he has been in the lineup of late. He's got double-doubles in four straight games and in 15 of his L/17. In those 17 games, Memphis is 12-5 SU and 12-4-1 ATS. No one expected much from the Grizzlies this year, but thanks to Randolph, they may be fighting for a playoff berth deep into the spring.
And the rest...
6: Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat (26.9 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 6.0 APG) (LW: 2)
7: Steve Nash, Phoenix Suns (18.6 PPG, 11.2 APG) (LW: 3)
8: Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers (28.4 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 4.5 APG) (LW: 5)
9: Deron Williams, Utah Jazz (19.3 PPG, 9.6 APG) (LW: NR)
10: Monta Ellis, Golden State Warriors (26.7 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 5.5 APG) (LW: NR)
