Tatum, Harden, Giannis Lead NBA's Top Performers From Tuesday Night

Last Night’s 5 NBA games were exciting and saw some of the NBA’s best put up some huge numbers. There were big scoring, assist, and rebound nights in almost every game.

Here are the top performers from last night’s games:

1. Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics (44 Pts, 9 Reb, 6 Ast, 1 Blk)

Jayson Tatum refused to lose against the Lakers last night. His 44 points included a huge bucket that sent the game to overtime. He might just be the league’s MVP thus far as the Celtics continue to win games.

2. James Harden, Philadelphia 76ers (21 Pts, 7 Reb, 15 Ast, 5 Stl)

James Harden only recently returned from injury but continues to set up his teammates like he never left. A 15-assist night is rare but Harden approaches the number frequently. He helped the 76ers prevail over the Kings 123-103.

3. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks (30 Pts, 12 Reb, 5 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk)

Giannis Antetokounmpo is undoubtedly one of the league’s best players and against the Warriors, he showed why. His 30-point double-double led the Bucks over the Warriors. He might just be the MVP as well.

4. LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers (33 Pts, 9 Reb, 9 Ast, 2 Stl, 1 Blk)

Even at age 37 LeBron James still puts up massive numbers. His near triple-double almost led the Lakers over the Celtics before a late collapse cost them. Still, James and the Lakers have reason to be optimistic.

5.Anthony Davis, Los Angeles Lakers (37 Pts, 12 Reb, 3 Ast, 1 Stl, 1Blk)

Anthony Davis continues his monster tear, posting a 37-point double-double over Boston. If he can keep producing at this high of a level, the Lakers will have a shot to win every night.

Honorable Mentions:

Zion Williamson, New Orleans Pelicans (26 Pts, 9 Reb, 5 Ast, 2 Stl)

Jarred Vanderbilt, Utah Jazz (18 Pts, 14 Reb, 6 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk)

Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics (25 Pts, 15 Reb, 5 Ast, 3 Stl)

Russell Westbrook, Los Angeles Lakers (20 Pts, 14 Reb, 5 Ast, 1 Stl, 4 Blk)

Joel Embiid, Philadelphia 76ers (32 Pts, 7 Reb, 2 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk)
