George produced 28 points (11-29 FG, 3-17 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one block in 41 minutes during Thursday's 131-122 loss to New Orleans.
Impact
George struggled from the field Thursday but still ended with 28 points in the loss to New Orleans. The Thunder shot just 10-of-44 from the three-point line with George going 3-of-17. He had shot the ball exceptionally over the past two games and this could have been a case of tiredness heading into the All-Star break. The Thunder are primed to make a run at the number one seed in the Western conference and George should continue to be a beast down the stretch.

George finished with 47 points (15-26 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, and two steals in 43 minutes during Monday's 120-111 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Impact
Take James Harden out of the equation and George would likely be among the favorites for the Most Valuable Player award. His numbers of late have been spectacular, as he's scored at least 36 points in seven of his past nine games. During that period, he's connected on 51 three-pointers while racking up 19 steals. He's clearly the primary offensive weapon these days for the Thunder, a role that Russell Westbrook has thankfully relinquished.

George finished with 45 points (12-22 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 15-18 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 41 minutes in the Thunder's 117-112 win over the Rockets on Saturday.
Impact
The final line speaks for itself, but what it doesn't fully reveal is George's massive role in helping the Thunder come back from a 26-point deficit for an improbable victory. The All-Star fell just four points shy of his career-high scoring tally and sealed the win with a pair of clutch free throws with just 3.4 seconds remaining. He also was key in defending James Harden down the stretch and has now scored at least 36 points in six of his last seven games. Coupled with the equally impressive efforts of teammate Russell Westbrook (NBA-record nine consecutive triple-doubles), the Thunder looking like a legitimate threat to the defending champion Warriors' crown.

George provided 27 points (7-16 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists, and four steals in 32 minutes during Thursday's 117-95 win over the Grizzlies.
Impact
George delivered another well-rounded stat line, and this was his 12th outing with at least four steals this season. Moreover, George has canned 27 treys across the first four games of February. The 28-year-old forward is one of the top defensive players in the league, and he's among the elite on the offensive end as well.

George finished with 39 points (9-26 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 15-16 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, and three steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 132-122 victory over the Magic.
Impact
Much has been made of James Harden's scoring feats over the past few weeks but George continues to put up his own impressive numbers with amazing regularity. He has scored at least 36 points in five straight games with supporting averages of 7.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.4 steals, and 6.2 triples. If not for Harden, George would certainly be threatening to be the number one player in fantasy right now.

George produced 37 points (11-27 FG, 5-16 3Pt, 10-12 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block in 39 minutes during Sunday's 134-129 loss to the Celtics.
Impact
George delivered yet another stellar scoring performance. He struggled from the field but padded his point total by living at the charity stripe. Moreover, George contributed in every category and is maintaining career highs in points, boards, steals, and threes per game while sinking over 45.0 percent of his field goal attempts and over 40.0 percent from beyond the arc for the first time in the same campaign.

He's having a red-hot January, averaging 27.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.6 steals over the first nine games of the month. George is regularly producing equal, and sometimes better, numbers than teammate Russell Westbrook.
