Nikola Jokic picked up right where he left off after leading the Nuggets to their first championship and winning NBA Finals MVP. He averaged 26.3 points, 13.3 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game over the first week of the season, helping the Nuggets get off to a 3-0 start. He also ended up winning NBA Player of the Month for November.

Tyrese Maxey took home the first NBA Player of the Week honors in the Eastern Conference, averaging 30.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists, shooting 50 percent from the field and 56.3 percent from beyond the arc, across the 76ers' first three games.

Through the first six weeks of the season, De'Aaron Fox was the only player to receive this award twice. Fox missed nearly two weeks in early November with an ankle injury but has otherwise been sensational all season long, averaging 30.4 points, 6.6 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game on a 58.5 true shooting percentage. These were just the fourth and fifth Player of the Week Awards of Fox's career. Jalen Brunson and eventually joined him with his second selection in early January and another at the end of the season.

At the end of December, Joel Embiid joined Fox with his second NBA Player of the Week Award of the season, the 13th of his career. He also won for the third week in January making him the first player this season to be selected three times. Devin Booker, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Luka Doncic have also won for multiple weeks.

In addition to the Kings with Fox, seven other teams have had multiple selections — the Knicks, with both Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle (twice), the 76ers with Joel Embiid (twice) and Tyrese Maxey, the Rockets with Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun, the Suns with Devin Booker (twice) and Kevin Durant, the Hawks with Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, the Mavericks with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, and the Lakers with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The Celtics were the only team with three different players winning Player of the Week — Jayson Tatum, Derrick White and Kristaps Porzingis.

With the selection of DeMar DeRozan in March, 22 of the NBA's 30 teams have had at least one player win Player of the Week this season.

LeBron James' selection in February gave him 68 Player of the Week Awards in his career, by far the most among any active players, leading Kevin Durant (32), James Harden (26), Giannis Antetokounmpo (23), Steph Curry (20) and Russell Westbrook (20).
