Kevin Durant
In the game on the 6th, Kevin Durant scored 29 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block and 2 three-pointers in 37 minutes to lead the Nets to a 96-90 victory over the Detroit Pistons.
The Nets improved the score to 6-3 after this win. James Harden has just entered form, but Durant has been doing great and is currently at number one on the MVP list.
Cj McCollum
In the Blazers' 110-106 win over the Pacers, CJ McCollum scored 27 points on 11-of-11 shooting from the field (5-of-9 from three-point range), plus six assists, five rebounds and four turnovers.
McCollum has been in very good shape at the beginning of the season and he continues to be in that state for this game. When Lillard was in a slump on the offensive end, McCollum defended his backcourt teammates. McCollum has scored at least 20 points in eight of his nine games this season, including the last four. As long as Lillard is struggling, McCollum will continue to play this kind of performance.
Jordan Poole
In the Warriors' 126-85 win over the Pelicans, Jordan Poole scored 26 points, an assist and six three-pointers.
After a misstep shooting error at the start of the season, Poole finally scored 31 points and seven three-pointers on Thursday. You have to like his confidence, he keeps shooting, he even says he feels like he's going to explode. "Yes," Poole said. "Absolutely. A few nights ago, I lost my shooting feel, but now I feel like I'm getting it back. "He will continue to play an important role in the Warriors, at least until Klay Thompson returns.
Julius Randall
Julius Randall dominated the Bucks with 32 points (11-of-22, 7-of-10), 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three three-pointers to dominate the Bucks and beat the Bucks 113-98
That put the Knicks on a record of 6 wins and 3 losses. Randle has made huge strides in the 2020-21 season, and he seems to be hoping to take it to the next level again this season, and although the Knicks have stockpiled a lot of offensive players on the offensive end this season, his usage rate is only down 2% from last season.
Buddy Hilde
Buddy Hield scored 26 points (8-of-17 from three-point range) on 9-of-18 shooting, plus four assists, three rebounds and two turnovers to help the Kings beat the Hornets 140-110.
In the last six games, Hield has averaged 18.8 points per game, shooting 45.1 percent from the field and 43.8 percent from three-point range. During that time, the Kings' record was 3-2, with two of those wins coming in games against the Hornets. Hield's bench teammate David Mitchell also sat on the bench in the game, scoring 19 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and just one turnover on 6-of-11 shooting (4-of-5 from three-point range).
Jarrett Allen
In the game on the 6th, Jarrett Allen scored 16 points on 5-of-6 shooting in 39 minutes (1 of 1 from three-point range), grabbed 15 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers, and helped the Cavaliers win the Toronto Raptors 102-99.
Allen was brilliant in this game, attacking game after game, including one of the game's most important shots, and with 4:42 left in the fourth quarter, one of his three-pointers trailed the deficit to 94-95. Of the Cavaliers' final six points, he scored four of them, ending the game. With 4.8 seconds left in the game, the Cavaliers were in the lead for the first time, having previously trailed the Cavaliers by 15 points. It was also Allen's third consecutive double-double, all of which won the Cavaliers.
James Harden
In the 6th game against the Pistons, James Harden scored a triple-double, shooting 3-of-10 from the field, with 13 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 9 turnovers, 2 steals, 1 block and 3 three-pointers.
The Nets, who have won five of their last six games, are now suddenly back on track. "Overall, I think every player who comes on the court is playing really well on both ends of the floor," Harden said. "We started to feel for both ends of the ball. We started to feel comfortable with each other and that showed up on the pitch as well. Harden's season started precariously and hopefully he can find the points in time.
Derek Ross
Derrick Rose scored 23 points, eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and two three-pointers in 30 minutes to lead the Knicks to a comeback victory over the Bucks.
He looked like the Rose we saw in Chicago, scoring +22 in 30 minutes. Coach Tom Thibodeau felt good tonight, which is why Kemba Walker only played 15 minutes. Rose's performance was very volatile and his playing time wasn't always stable, so it didn't have much impact on the final round.
Dejuntai Murray
DeJuntai Murray continued his great performance, scoring 20 points on 9-of-16 shooting (1-of-2 from three-point range), grabbing 11 rebounds, seven assists, three steals, one block and three turnovers, and the Spurs beat the Magic 102-89.
Murray has recently finally figured this out after a slow start to the regular season. Heading into Friday, in his last five games, Murray averaged 21.2 points per game, shot 48.8 percent from the field (45.8 percent from three-point range), 9.2 assists, 7.6 rebounds and 1.8 steals. Friday was another spectacular performance for Murray's third double-double this season.
After a sluggish start to the regular season, Murray recently got into form. In the last five games, Murray has averaged 21.2 points, 48.8 percent shooting (45.8 percent three-pointers), 9.2 assists, 7.6 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game. The game was another outstanding performance, with Murray scoring his third double-double of the season.
Holmes
Richaun Holmes is a monster who scored 23 points on 9-of-12 shooting (5-of-7 from the free throw line) and grabbed 20 rebounds and 2 assists to lead the Kings to a 140-110 win over the Charlotte Hornets.
By the end of halftime, Holmes had a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds. In the second half, he almost doubled that statistic. After the first quarter, Sacramento led 41-22 and has been leading ever since. It was Holmes' third double-double in four games and his sixth double-double of the season. He quietly made a dream start
