The duo lit the Little Caesars Arena with electrifying performances in the win against Warriors. Drummond recorded a double-double by putting up 16 points and 19 rebounds. Drummond is averaging 16.4 rebounds, 18.6 points this season and is expected to rain double-doubles all season long.

Blake Griffin put up a good show with 26 points (9-22 fg, 2-9 3pt, 6-6 ft), 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Griffin is one of the guys we can expect to see at the All-Star game in Charlotte. The last time he made an appearance at the event was in 2015.

Also, not at the top, but his name is among the ones in the NBA MVP ladder this season. After having a troubling exit from the Los Angeles Clippers last year, he has definitely gelled well as a Piston and is leading the team in points(24.9) and assists(5.1).

With his defensive powerhouse and dominance in the paint, Drummond is also making his case for the All-Star selection after appearing in 2016 and 2018.
