#3 Joel Embiid
After an embarrassing display against the Toronto Raptors, Joel Embiid bounced back immediately for the Philadelphia 76ers, as their star player put on a great performance at home, against the Sacramento Kings. This was quite an important match for Philadelphia.
After scoring 0 points against Toronto, Embiid finished with 33 points and 14 assists. The entire 76ers' offense ran through Embiid during the game, and he did not disappoint. He was fantastic for Philadelphia last night and deserves a place on this list.
#2 Kemba Walker
Just a few days after he has carried off on a stretcher, Kemba Walker returned to the court for the Boston Celtics and put up a great display. The former Hornets player finished the game with 39 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. It is important to note that he did all this with a sprained neck and a sore back.
The Boston Celtics had a difficult match against the Brooklyn Nets, and the main reason why they managed to walk away with the victory was because of Kemba's amazing performance. He looked like a leader for Boston, and it might have been his best match in a Celtics uniform.
#1 Anthony Davis
It was all about Anthony Davis last night when the Los Angeles Lakers traveled to New Orleans to face the Pelicans. It was Davis' return in front of the Pelicans fans, and we could say that he did not receive a warm welcome. This did not faze him though, as he put on an impressive performance against his former team.
He finished the match with 41 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist. Additionally to that, he also registered 2 steals, one of them being the game-winning one. He has been considered a prime candidate for the Defensive Player of the Year Award in the last couple of weeks and given his defensive display against the Pelicans, it is not hard to see why.
