4. Jeff Teague (4)

Season stats: 33.0 MPG – 13.4 PPG – 8.4 APG – 1.7 SPG – 42.2% FG – 42.4% 3PT – 84.8% FT

Weekly stats: 35.3 MPG – 14.3 PPG – 10.5 APG – 2.3 SPG – 40.4% FG – 44.4 3PT – 87.5% FT

It was another great step for Jeff Teague this week in what is becoming a more impressive season by the game.

His dud against the Pelicans didn’t affect his ranking – or his confidence – as he compiled points-assists double-doubles in all of the week’s other games.

Teague’s week included two stellar performances. The 23-point, 11-assist performance in the OT thriller against Miami, and his 18-point, 12-assist explosion against the Hornets.

Steph Teague, sorry, Jeff Teague may have his troubles defensively that he still needs to overcome in Tom Thibodeau’s extreme defensive schemes, but he has shown his value to the Timberwolves this week more than any before it. Leading to four important wins.
