NBA SIMS LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE WEEK WATCH - Week 2
| PLAYER | TEAM | WHY | STATS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | PER 36.96 |  Eastern 1-4 | Steph Curry seemed to be back in form this week after a week 1 horror show with inefficient shooting. He returned to his old ways putting up shooting splits of 43/40/100. The Chefs best game for the week came in a win against Philadelphia where he scored 39 points. | 33.0 PTS 4.0 REB 3.6 AST 0.6 STL 0.4 BLK |
 | PER 32.70 |  Eastern 1-3 | Derrick White a surprise to the POTW candidates, he's finally arrived in 2k after being one of the more underrated 2k players compared to his talent. White has found himself in a situation he's not been in before he's the franchise player of Miami and is thriving in the role. Whites best game for the week was a 35-point game in a close loss to Brooklyn | 30.0 PTS 3.5 REB 5.0 AST 1.3 STL 0.5 BLK |
 | PER 34.03 |  Eastern 2-2 | Kyrie is enjoying his new home in Orlando where he gets to run the show on offense as the sole star. He was uber efficient with 47/39/95 shooting splits and lead Orlando to a 2-2 week. Kyrie went absolutely nuclear against the Knicks this week putting up a 60-point game! | 42.5 PTS 3.8 REB 4.8 AST 0.3 STL 0.5 BLK |
 | PER 43.11 |  Eastern 2-2 | The stars are stupid good this season and SGA had one of those weeks where the whole league questions whether he can be stopped. I'm not sure he can 49ppg for the week is nuts, the efficiency was also nuts with 59/67/87 splits. I can't see anyone else winning the award this week the only downside to SGAs week was a 2-2 record. (Use the matchup strategies people, they work) SGAs best game this week came in a close loss to the Cavs where he put up a season high 58 points. | 49.3 PTS 7.0 REB 5.8 AST 3.3 STL 0.3 BLK |
 | PER 33.26 |  Eastern 3-1 | Tatum has been the star player in Boston since leagues inception, he's the franchise cornerstone and you expect him to put up weeks like this every week. However, he now has 2 other fringe All Star players alongside him to steal points and he's still putting up numbers. Tatum's best game this week came in a close loss to the Cavs with a 46-point game. | 39.0 PTS 6.3 REB 3.8 AST 0.5 STL 0.8 BLK |
 | PER 31.69 |  Western 2-2 | AD the franchise star for Minnesota always one of the hardest players to find a matchup for, he put up a huge week for the Wolves in his typical 2-way fashion of dominating you on both ends of the floor. Davis's best game this week he put up 42 points in a win over the Warriors. | 31.8 PTS 13.8 REB 3.3 AST 1.0 STL 1.8 BLK |
 | PER 31.10 |  Western 3-2 | A fresh face to the nominations! With his NBA play you knew it was a matter of time before he started dominating in 2k. 1 half of a dynamic duo of young players in LA Williams has been without the other half to start the year and is thriving. Jalen's best game this week came in a loss against the Spurs where he put up 33 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists on elite efficiency. | 30.2 PTS 6.6 REB 4.6 AST 0.4 STL 0.8 BLK |
 | PER 31.96 |  Western 3-1 | Jokic will never do enough for his general manager unfortunately but he's definitely trying. With a lackluster 28ppg, 20rpg, 6apg week. He still isn't good enough in 2k though. Jokers best game this week came in a win against the Lakers where he amassed a 40 point, 20 rebound game. He has my POTW west vote | 28.0 PTS 20.3 REB 6.0 AST 1.5 STL 1.5 BLK |
 | PER 31.16 |  Western 4-0 | Harden used to dominate these nominations, and I wouldn't fault you for thinking those days are over. However, his NBA situation has him playing as the 1st option again and Utah are playing right into that. Hardens best game this week was a 49 point, 7 assist game against the Lakers. | 35.8 PTS 4.3 REB 7.8 AST 1.8 STL 1.8 BLK |
 | PER 31.10 | Western 4-0 | Like his teammate in Utah Embiid was another that had looked like he was done dominating in 2k. This was his 1st week back and he had no rust to speak of with 24ppg and 16rpg on 50%. Embiids best game this week came in a win against the Sixers where he dropped 35 points and 18 rebounds. | 24.3 PTS 16.5 REB 1.5 AST 1.5 STL 1.5 BLK |
