There are not many NBA games today, but the performance of the stars is still remarkable, and the data of Brunson, Reaves, Russell, Harden and others are good.
But if you want to choose the best player of the day, there is no suspense, let's take a look at the specific situation!
The Knicks reversed the Pacers at home, and Harden played as the starting center, playing 35 minutes, shooting 6-of-8, scoring 12 points, 19 rebounds (including 8 frontcourt rebounds), 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
With the addition of those 19 rebounds, Harden will grab a total of 188 rebounds in 2024, ranking fourth in the league during the same period.
With James and Bushy Eyebrows both sidelined, the Lakers actually won away against the league's No. 1 Celtics. Reeves is definitely the number one contributor.
In the first half, he was on fire, shooting 7-of-12 from the field, 5-of-7 from three-point range, scoring 19 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, with a plus/minus of +16.
In the game, Reaves played 36 minutes, shooting 10-of-18, 7-of-10 three-pointers, and 5-of-7 free throws to score a season-high 32 points, plus two rebounds and three assists, with no turnovers.
At the same time, he also set 2 records in this battle:
1. Seven three-pointers in a single game is a career high for Reaves.
2. According to statistics, Reaves is the fourth player to shoot seven three-pointers against the Green Army this season.
In addition to Reaves, Russell was another Lakers starter who played well today.
Although the shooting touch is average, Shuila is quite good at organizing the offense today, which can be called a strategy.
In the whole game, he played 39 minutes, shooting 5 of 20, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, and got 16 points, 8 rebounds, 14 assists, 2 steals, and only 1 turnover!
His 14 assists is also his personal single-game high this season.
According to statistics, the last Lakers guard who could play Russell's 16 points, 8 rebounds, 14 assists and hit 4+ three-pointers today was Magic Johnson in 1990.
Brunson, who was selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career, broke out today!
In the first half, he shot 7-of-15 from the field and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line to finish with 21 points and three rebounds to help his team bite the score. In the crucial fourth quarter, he stepped up and scored 11 points alone to successfully lead the team to a comeback.
In the whole game, the big head played 37 minutes, shot 15 of 30, 1 of 6 three-pointers, 9 of 11 free throws, slashed 40 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, and led the team to 9 consecutive wins.
But even so, the best player of the day still can't be given to him, because Maxi next door is even more explosive.
The person who can beat these stars to be voted the best player of the day must have done something amazing, and today this person is undoubtedly the comeback Maxey.
Like Brunson, Maxey was selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career, and with Embiid sidelined due to injury, he single-handedly carried the 76ers' offensive beam.
Just halfway through the first quarter, he went crazy with a three-point shot, 4 of 4, 16 points and 1 assist, and one person scored 18 points in the first quarter. He scored another 14 points in the second quarter, and in the first half he shot 11-of-15 from the field, 6-of-6 from three-point range, and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, and had already scored 32 points and one rebound.
In the third quarter, Maxi's firepower did not fall, and the score in the single quarter was double-double again, and the end of the third quarter had broken through the 40-point mark.
At the critical moment in the final quarter, when the Jazz overtook him, Maxey hit a long-range three-point shot to stabilize the situation. In the end, the Jazz fouled him, and two free throws and two hits directly killed the game.
In this game, Maxey played 41 minutes, shooting 17 of 27, 7 of 9 three-pointers, 10 of 11 free throws, and blasted 51 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, leading the team to defeat strong opponents away.
At the same time, Maxi also set a number of records in this battle:
The score is a career-high single-game high, up from 50 (also this season).
2. He is also the second player from the 76ers to score 50+ multiple times in a single season this season in addition to Embiid.
3. Maxey scored double-doubles in the first three quarters, the first time in his career.
So, the best player of the day is definitely him!
