NEW YORK -- Oklahoma City will host Orlando before Blake Griffin and the Los Angeles Clippers visit Golden State on Christmas night, running the NBA's planned opening-day schedule to five games.

Blake Griffin (PER 22.89, 15th) : It’s tough to make it as a rookie, but Griffin’s already going to be there for the dunk contest, and he’s been even better than most folks realize.

Cousins looked like a legitimate star for much of the second half, piling up 18 double-doubles from February onward, second only to Blake Griffin among rookies.
