Kevin Durant has scored 30+ points in four of his first five games. He's averaging 27.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.2 threes and is the top ranked small forward on this week's meter.
Pau Gasol could have a big opening week with Kobe Bryant banged up and Andrew Bynum suspended. He averaged 18.8 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.6 block last year and is the top ranked power forward on this week's meter.
