Last night was filled with exciting performances as there was a full slate of games. There were lots of worthy candidates but these are the top 3 performances from last night:

1. Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns (51 Pts, 6 Reb, 4 Ast, 1 Stl)

Devin Booker put on an absolute show against the Chicago Bulls posting 51 points in just three quarters. Not to mention he did it while shooting 20-25 from the field. Booker is no stranger to putting up huge scoring numbers as he once scored 70 points, the youngest to ever do it. Booker has been on top of his game all season and his scoring outburst led the Suns to the win.

2. Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics (49 Pts, 11 Reb, 3 Ast, 2 Stl)

Jayson Tatum also put up huge numbers last night. It’s not often you see a 49-point double-double on 15-25 shooting from the field. Tatum’s play has him square in the MVP conversation. The Celtics blew out the Miami Heat.
