Player: Nene
Game: Washington Wizards vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

The Washington Wizards have struggled this season, but they're looking to get back on the right path. If Nene is healthy and ready to go, the Wizards could make their first playoff appearance in six seasons. Nene had 24 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists for the Wizards as they went on to win a close 98-91 game over the Cavaliers. The Wizards were up by 20-plus, but almost blew the game, but a win is a win no matter how bad you play in parts of it.

Player: Mike Conley
Game: Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors

The Memphis Grizzlies got off to an ugly start and they play ugly basketball. Everything about this team is rather ugly. That's why they run by the motto of "Grit n Grind." One of the keys to their team is point guard Mike Conley who has been great early on this season. The Grizzlies were able to get a great road win against the Golden State Warriors in overtime 88-81 and Conley was all in the center of it. Conley had 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists in the win and had the Grizzlies offense running decently which is great for them.

Player: Dirk Nowitzki
Game: Dallas Mavericks vs. Houston Rockets

Dirk Nowitzki keeps reminding us that no matter what, he's always going to be a great player. He might decline athletically and lose some overall physical skills, but no one can take away his jumper. It was hump day and Nowitzki kept it moving with a great 35 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists as Dallas managed a major comeback in their 123-120 victory over the Rockets. This game was an offensive showcase and lacked defense, and where else would Nowitzki be able to show off his sweet shooting form than in a matchup of two bad defensive squads.

Player: Kemba Walker
Game: Charlotte Bobcats vs. Brooklyn Nets

Many critics and fans expected the Charlotte Bobcats to have another terrible season. Also, they've missed star free agent acquisition Al Jefferson for most of the year. The Bobcats continue to truck through all of that and are now 6-6 after defeating the Brooklyn Nets 95-91. Kemba Walker came through in the clutch with a strong performance of 31 points and 5 rebounds in the win. The UConn product was able to slice and dice the Nets defense, get into the paint repeatedly and cause problems in the Anatomix Spawn.

Game: Toronto Raptors vs. Philadelphia 76ers

Despite the mediocre start from the Toronto Raptors, they still have a great chance to make the playoffs in the East because... it's the East. There are only four teams with plus-.500 records in the early part of the season. The Raptors can make some headliens if they keep getting production from shooting guard DeMar DeRozan. DeRozan lit up the Philadelphia 76ers for 33 points in the Kobe 8 System while showing his evolved dynamic range with 3 triples knocked down throughout the course of Toronto's 108-98 victory.

It has been a pleasure to watch the evolution of Paul George throughout the past year. The Pacers All-Star is continuing his maturation process and it's evident how much he has progressed by his performance last night against the New York Knicks. George was the king of the midrange as the Pacers went on to win in overtime against the struggling New York Knicks 103-96. George scored 35 points and also was able to do other things with 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 steals, and 2 blocks in the win. George was knocking down pull up jumper after pull up jumper. He of course knocked down three key free throws to take the game to overtime after being fouled on a three point attempt by the Knicks' Iman Shumpert.
