Takeaways

Hassan Whiteside destroyed the Spurs showing that he can still be elite when he wants to

Sixers got themselves a really big win

Allonzo Trier looks like one of the steals of the draft so far for the Knicks

Grizzlies defeating Denver shouldn’t be a surprise. They’ve been playing well at 6-4

Pelicans finally get a much needed win. Same for Utah and Detroit

Raptors can’t be stopped

Lakers still struggle to close games despite winning tonight.

Tyson Chandler made an impact in his debut

D Rose is balling out of his mind right now

Interesting stats and facts

Hassan Whiteside was the 4th player in previous 15 years with a 10+ pts 5+ rebs and 5+ blks quarter. He also has a 2nd tied most 8 blocks in a half in the previous 15 years

Miami’s Win over San Antonio was their first since LeBron left them.

Minnesota hit a franchise high 20 threes despite losing.

Derrick rose hit a career high 7 threes in a losing effort. Rose is shooting 46% from 3 this season 😲

Cavs are 1-10

OKC Thunder are on a 6 game winning streak

Raptors are now NBA’s best 11-1 after beating Sacramento. They’re 8-0 in games Kawhi play

Kyle Lowry’s double digit assist streak ends at 9.

Nikola Jokic has been held under 10 points for the 4th consecutive game. He’s averaging just 5.7 ppg in that stretch

Karl-Anthony Towns went 0-for-6 with a turnover when guarded by Tyson Chandler.

That’s a crazy stat 😲

That haircut really got Kyrie playing like an MVP 😄

My goodness OKC suffocated Houston last night... no Westbrook and still killed em. OKC got special potential with this team not gonna lie

Meanwhile Bucks didn't have any chance to the Champions. This season at the moment looks more promising that any other season in previous years.

Bucks killed em, they look legit this year

Takeaways

Houston’s offense is slacking big time

OKC continue to roll despite Westbrook’s injury

Boston stay making comebacks

Kyrie has been on fire recently

Blazers are quietly 9-3

Bucks have sent a message and they’re LEGIT

Golden State are significantly worse when Draymond doesn’t play

Interesting Stats/Facts

Other than Kyrie, none of Celtics starters made a shot in the first half (0/15)

Boston trailed by as many as 22 in their win.

Kyrie Irving is averaging 29.4 ppg in his last 5 games

Bucks have beaten the Warriros for the 2nd consecutive time on the road.

Rockets 80 points was the least any time has scored in a game this season

Carmelo Anthony shot 1/11 for 2 pts in his return to Oklahoma

Warriors gave up 134+ points in regulation for the first time since 2009.

Thunder have won 7 straight

Minnesota Timberwolves @ Sacramento Kings (Derrick Rose over 18.5 pts)

D Rose is playing his best ball since like 2011 scoring 50 21 31 in his last 3 full games. Kings are one of the worse defensive squads and Rose’s match up Fox isn’t known for being a good defender. I think 20 pts is easy for Rose on this form. He’ll get between 23-25 imo

Steph Curry's MRI "was good" Steve Kerr said. Strained groin. Won't play tomorrow. Still sore. But just a "day-to-day" thing.

Wizards lost to Orlando looool this team is a joke

Embiid 42/18/4/4 my goodness... he’s been killing it this season

Scott Brooks gone for sure now 😄

Joe Ingles is going nuts

Disappointed with Hayward being booed , he’s done too much for Utah to get that treatment imo

At this rate the whole team bout to be gone 😄

Kemba is too nice

Brooklyn just won in Denver wooow 😲
