Let us take a look at the top three performers on the night.

#3 CJ McCollum

Stat line: 31 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and a block on 56.5 % shooting

CJ McCollum has been in a terrific form from Day 1 this season and is scoring heavily. The Blazers are at the top of the Western Conference Standings because of McCollum and Lillard's heroics and were up against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

In the first quarter, McCollum scored with a put-back slam to start the proceedings, before following it up with a high-floater for the easy basket. With scores tied at 26, CJ knocked down an open three-pointer to give the Blazers, a three-point lead.

With the Trail Blazers up by three in the second quarter, McCollum connected a three-pointer in the corner to extend the lead to six points. In the third quarter, with the Blazers up by as much as 10 points, he pulled up from mid-range to extend the lead to 12 points.

McCollum finished the game with 31 points on 13-for-23 shooting. He also had 4 rebounds, to go along with 2 assists. Damian Lillard had 29 points on the night and the McCollum-Lillard duo combined for 60 points on 22-for-45 shooting and the Knicks fell to the Blazers, 118-114.

This is CJ's third game with 30 or more points this season and is currently averaging 21.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. He is also one of the main reasons why the Blazers are enjoying so much of success this season.

#2 Tim Hardaway Jr.

Stat line: 32 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and a steal on 47.6 % shooting

New York Knicks' struggles continue this season as they are currently 4-14 and are at the 13th spot in the Eastern Conference Standings. While Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum combined for 60 points for the Blazers, it was Time Hardaway Jr.'s performance that kept the Knicks in the game until the end.

Coming off a 32 points performance against the Magic, he scored 32 once again and helped the Knicks put up a fight against the Blazers. He finished the night shooting 10-for-21 from the field, with a field-goal percentage of 47.6, including 3-for-6 from downtown.

The Knicks are on a six-game losing streak with this loss and the situation is looking very bad for them at the moment. Despite Knicks' poor run, Tim Hardaway Jr. is averaging 24.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists this season and is looking in a really good form.

#1 John Wall

Stat line: 30 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks on 37.5 % shooting

John Wall is averaging 21.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 2.0 steals per game this season and is playing spectacular basketball although the Wizards have been struggling to start the season, getting off to a 5-11 start.

Against the Clippers, Wall scored 30 points on a 9-for-24 shooting and the Wizards rallied back to get the win. With 2:33 left in the fourth quarter, Wall made a layup to give the Wizards, a 115-113 lead. Although Wall was not very efficient from the field, his all-around performance helped the Wizards, big time.

Wall also had 4 rebounds and 8 assists on the night and went 5-for-12 from the three-point line. He was very aggressive and finished 7-for-10 from the free-throw line. Bradley Beal had 27 points on the night along with Jeff Green who added 20 of his own.
