NBA Star Power Index: Stephen Curry slowly heating up; Anthony Edwards putting together total scoring package

Also, Giannis hasn't been held under 25 points in over a month and a half

Welcome back to NBA Star Power Index: A weekly gauge of the players getting the most buzz around the league. Inclusion on this list isn't necessarily a good thing -- it simply means you're capturing the NBA world's attention. This is also not a ranking. The players listed are in no particular order. This column will run every week throughout the regular season.  October 49.6% November 54.4% December 59.0% January 60.2%

Cross your fingers, but Curry might be breaking out of his career-worst shooting slump. Having missed 95 of his previous 135 3-point attempts, Curry knocked down 7-of-14 triples in a 40-point showing against the Rockets on Monday. He scored 21 of those points in the fourth quarter. It marked the highest scoring fourth quarter of Curry's career and the 37th time he has scored at least 20 points in any single quarter, passing Kobe Bryant for the NBA record. 

These Curry flurries in which he turns scorching hot with the proverbial flip of a switch, which used to be a fairly regular occurrence, have become all-too scarce, but he hit four straight shots to start the game against Dallas last Tuesday and had another stretch of four straight makes against the Timberwolves last Thursday. On Monday, Curry hit five straight fourth-quarter jumpers in what was the first real stretch of shooting that felt like the old human torch.
