The Dallas Mavericks (10-7) continue to quietly climb the standings in the Western Conference, and the recent play of guard Jalen Brunson has been a major reason. Brunson has been a consistent force off the bench and has become a serious candidate for the Sixth Man of the Year award.

After making his debut in the Sixth Man of the Year power rankings previously, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ricky Rubio is back, earning the fourth spot this week. Although the Cavaliers (9-10) have lost five straight games after rookie phenom Evan Mobley went out with an injury, Rubio has shined lately.

The crafty veteran guard had himself an impressive week, averaging 21.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game while shooting 40.4% from the field. After being brought in last offseason to give the Cavaliers some added backcourt depth, Rubio has quickly become one of the top bench assets in the entire league.
