In Sacramento's three games last week, LaVine scored 20, 22 and 42 points, respectively, in the Kings' wins over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday, Utah Jazz on Wednesday and Houston Rockets on Saturday.
The 29-year-old is averaging 23.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game on 50.7-percent shooting from the field and 43.2 percent from 3-point range in 52 games with the Chicago Bulls and Kings this season.
LaVine's tenure with the Kings got off to an inconsistent start after the blockbuster trade that landed him in Sacramento and star guard De'Aaron Fox with the San Antonio Spurs, but the two-time NBA All-Star appears to have found his groove and was rewarded for his recent hot stretch.
