1. Steph Curry – OVR 96 (-1) – The Warriors have lost the last 2 out of 3 home games and Steph hasn’t been as hot. But he’s still the best player in basketball.

2. Kawhi Leonard – OVR 95 (no change) – Kawhi looks to keep up his consistent high level of play as the Spurs head into the playoffs.

3. DeMarcus Cousins – OVR 94 (+1) – He returned from rest and a suspension and dropped 30 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. Boogie is still the best big man in the league.

5. LeBron James – OVR 92 (-1)  – Turnovers have been a bit of an issue for King James heading into the playoffs.

At 92 OVR, Chris Paul gets an honorable mention with J.J. Barea seeing the most improvement this time around. The Western Conference player of the week has really shown out in the past 10 games, averaging 18.5 points and 5.4 assists per game.

NBA LIVE 16 Roster Update (4/1/16)

This week’s NBA LIVE 16 roster update is here, and that means changes are inbound. You can find the rundown from EA Sports below. For a more complete look at this roster update, check out the website.

1. Steph Curry – OVR 97 (no change) – Still the top player in the NBA, still the best player in NBA Live 16. Steph’s shooting ratings have been maxed out for a while now.

2. Kawhi Leonard – OVR 95 (no change) – Kawhi continues to have a stellar season. March has statistically been his best month so far this year.

3. DeMarcus Cousins – OVR 94 (+1) – Boogie is the top big man in the league right now. He just needs to cut down on the technical fouls.

4. Russell Westbrook – OVR 93 (no change) – Russ continues to lead the league in triple doubles. He’ll look to continue to stay hot with Kevin Durant (OVR 92) heading into the playoffs.

5. LeBron James – OVR 93 (no change) – It’s pretty easy to predict that a well-rested LeBron heading into the playoffs will stuff the stat sheet.

The most improved player this week? Josh Richardson – OVR 77 (+7) – Since the All-Star game, Richardson has been one of the top 3-point shooters in the NBA – shooting 58.5% behind the arc.
