On February 5th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the league arranged a total of 9 sets of matchups today, the specific situation is as follows: Magic 111-99 beat Pistons, Suns beat Wizards 140-112, Grizzlies lost to Celtics 91-131, Pacers beat Hornets 115-99, Clippers beat Heat 103-95, Rockets lost to Timberwolves 90-111, Raptors lost to Thunder 127-135, Bucks lost to Jazz 108-123, The Trail Blazers lost 103-112 to the Nuggets. In these games, stars such as Wagner Jr., Beal, Tatum, Siakam, Huazi, SGA, Markkanen, and Jokic have performed well. So, who will win the Player of the Day award? Let's take a look.
In the game between the Suns and the Wizards, the Wizards had a total of 6 players score double-doubles, among them, Avdija scored a team-high 24 points, but they still had the heart to kill the enemy and were unable to return to the sky, once trailing by as many as 32 points, and finally suffered a 28-point defeat. On the Suns' side, KD Booker is willing to be a green leaf, KD scored 18 points + 4 rebounds + 3 assists, Booker contributed 14 points + 6 assists, and Beal played a masterpiece of his Suns career! Beal played 31 minutes, shooting 16-of-21 (4-of-5 from three-point range) and 7-of-7 from the free-throw line, scoring 43 points + 6 assists + 2 steals. Statistically, 43 points is a new personal high for Bill this season. At the same time, he became the third-fewest players in Suns history to score 40+ minutes, behind Booker (44 points in 28 minutes and 51 points in 30 minutes).
In the Raptors vs. Thunder game, the two teams fought until double overtime to decide the winner. The Raptors had a total of 6 players score double-doubles, among them, Barrett scored 23 points + 7 rebounds + 4 assists, Quickley scored 17 points + 11 assists, and Barnes contributed 19 points + 7 rebounds + 9 assists, but they still led by 23 points and suffered a comeback. On the Thunder's side, Dort scored 22 points + 7 rebounds + 4 assists, Holmgren contributed 22 points + 5 rebounds + 4 assists, Keady scored 24 points + 6 rebounds + 6 assists, Wiggins scored 20 points + 6 rebounds, but they are not the team's best players, SGA is! SGA played 47 minutes, shot 9-of-17 (2-of-5 three-pointers), 3-of-3 free throws, and scored 23 points + 9 rebounds + 14 assists + 2 steals + 3 blocks. After this battle, the 23-point reversal was the third largest reversal in the history of the Thunder.
In the Trail Blazers vs Nuggets game, the Trail Blazers' Ayton and Simmons combined to contribute 53 points + 15 rebounds + 13 assists, and the Trail Blazers once established a huge lead of 14 points in the first quarter, but they still collapsed and failed to have the last laugh. On the Nuggets' side, Murray contributed 21 points + 5 rebounds + 10 assists + 1 steal + 2 blocks, Jokic was even more ruthless! He played 34 minutes, shooting 12-of-20 (1-of-3 from three-point range) and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line, scoring 29 points + 8 rebounds + 7 assists + 2 steals. I have to say that Jokic is worthy of being a master, and he can easily play with Ai Bao as a toy at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
The Clippers traveled to challenge the Miami Heat, and the Heat faced strong opponents with three lives, pulling the defensive intensity to the playoff level, and Butler also frequently showed his sword on the offensive end. Even though the Big Three of Butler, Adebayo and Rozier combined to contribute 52 points + 24 rebounds + 11 assists, the Heat still lost a good game while leading by 11 points at one point and suffered a tragic reversal. On the Clippers' side, Xiaoka scored 25 points + 11 rebounds + 4 assists, and Harden was even more unreasonable! He played 41 minutes, shooting 7-of-13 (5-of-9 from three-point range) and 2-of-4 from the free-throw line, contributing 21 points + 8 rebounds + 11 assists + 1 steal + 1 block. Especially in the fourth quarter, Harden scored 11 points + 4 rebounds + 2 assists to help the team lock up the win, which is very arrogant!
In addition, Wagner Jr. of the Magic team scored 38 points + 3 rebounds + 2 assists, Tatum of the Green Army scored 34 points + 8 rebounds + 7 assists, Siakam of the Pacers contributed 25 points + 8 rebounds + 9 assists, Huazi of the Timberwolves scored 32 points + 6 rebounds, and Markkanen of the Jazz scored 21 points + 3 rebounds + 2 assists. The performances of the above stars are impressive, but considering the wins and losses of the game and the personal data of the stars, Harden's performance in turning the tide and overturning last season's overall runner-up at the decisive moment is too stylish, and he finally beat Beal, SGA and others to be elected NBA Player of the Day without suspense. Fans, what do you think about this? Leave me a review**.
