Luka Dončić and Jalen Brunson have been named the NBA's Western and Eastern Conference Players of the Week, respectively. The awards announced on 9 November cover games played from 2–8 November.

Dončić sustains his scoring pace

Dončić averaged 45 points, seven rebounds and 8.3 assists across three appearances, all Lakers victories. His week included 42 points against Miami, 40 against Sacramento and 53 against Portland in NBA Cup play.

The Slovenian shot 52.5% from the field during that stretch. Los Angeles completed a 4–0 week, including a victory in Detroit when Dončić did not play, according to WhyNBA's account of the award week. His individual averages therefore cover three appearances rather than all four team games.

Brunson drives New York's recovery

Brunson led the Knicks to three straight wins while averaging 27.7 points and 6.3 assists, shooting 42.9% from three-point range. Heavy's report highlighted his 33-point performance against Chicago and his 31 points in the road victory over Cleveland.

The Cleveland result lifted New York to 5–4 after an 0–3 start. Brunson also contributed 19 points against Brooklyn during the same award period.

The league announcement confirms both conference winners. The honors recognise the previous week's performances, rather than deciding any season-long award.
