Ridiculously good performance by Andre Drummond and a big win for Detroit
Embiid scorched the Nets. Dude is unguardable
Eastern conference playoff race is crazy close
Pascal Siakam is playing great basketball. MIP
Nuggets are slightly overrated imo. Rockets much better as they showed
Giannis and Middleton scorched the Clippers!
Interesting Stats and Facts
Pascal Siakam is averaging 25/7/4 on 63/43/95 shooting splits in his last 5 games. Red hot
Joel Embiid has now had 27 30pt 10reb Games this season. Most in the NBA
Knicks are 1-14 in their last 15 games
James Harden has now scored 2606 pts this season which is the most since Kobe Bryant in 2005-06 season and is only the 3rd in since NBA ABA merger to score 2600+ total pts in a season. Historical season.
Devin Booker impact to the game with his high scoring game is useless. Besides his good numbers he also shows that he is more about individual stats. The last play of Devin Booker who was chasing another 50+ points game. This time Grizzlies defenders didn't gave any chance for him to do that.
With Griffin out Pistons will struggle in offense for sure. Also Pacers one of the slowest team on the road regarding the numbers of possessions. Must take under IMO.
