The second week of the NBA season is behind us, and some fascinating statistical trends have already jumped out. It's worth paying close attention, because what's happening now could shape the early-season landscape.

Monday marked his sixth straight game with at least 25 points, five rebounds and five assists, the second-longest streak to start a season in league history.
