Lillard And Doncic's Big Nights Lead The NBA Top Performances From Monday Night

Monday night’s slate of NBA games were filled with huge performances from some of the game’s best players. With 7 games on last night, there was plenty of opportunity for stand-out games.

These are the top performances from last night’s game:

1. Damian Lillard, Portland Trailblazers (38 Pts, 3 Ast, 2 Reb)

While the numbers may not immediately jump out at you, Damian Lillard made 8 three-pointers in the first half and finished with 11 total, tying his career high. Lillard didn’t even need the fourth quarter as the Blazers cruised to a victory over Minnesota.

2. Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks (38 Pts, 11 Reb, 8 Ast,)

Luka Doncic continues to put up big numbers against every opponent he faces. He’s an MVP candidate for a reason and his near 40-point triple-double last night is emblematic of how he is the engine for the Mavericks.

3. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder (42 Pts, 2 Reb, 3 Ast, 3 Stl)

Shai Gilegeous-Alexander has been playing like a top-10 player all season. He’s become undguardbale and has the Thunder is competitive games night-in and night-out. His 42-point game wasn’t enough to keep pace with Doncic as the Thunder fell short 121-114.

4. Kevin Durant, Brooklyn Nets (30 Pts, 9 Reb, 6 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk)

Kevin Durant is having an under-appreciated season for the Brooklyn Nets. He’s consistently putting up big games for a team that needs it. The Nets are 8-2 in their last ten games and Kevin Durant is a huge part of that.

5. Kawhi Leonard, Los Angeles Clippers (25 Pts, 9 Reb, 6 Ast, 1 Stl)

Last night was the first all season Kawhi Leonard looked like his old self. Against the Boston Celtics shot 10-12 from the field and led the Clippers to a blowout win. It’s nice to see him back healthy and being the caliber of player everyone knows he can be.

Honorable Mentions:

Bam Adebayo, Miami Heat (22 Pts, 17 Reb, 3 Ast, 2 Stl, 1 Blk)

Tyus Jones, Memphis Grizzlies (22 Pts, 1 Reb, 11 Ast, 3 Stl)

Spencer Dinwiddie, Dallas Mavericks (20 Pts, 10 Ast, 7 Reb)

Rudy Gobert, Minnesota Timberwolves (16 Pts, 20 Reb, 2 Ast, 1 Stl)
