Item one on Jayson Tatum’s Christmas wish list: reign supreme over a fellow Eastern Conference heavyweight. It was indeed a happy holiday for Tatum’s Boston Celtics, as the four-time All-Star pump faked his initial Milwaukee Bucks defender out of his shoes before he found Marcus Smart all alone in the corner. Smart dished it right back to a cutting Tatum, who finished the play with bravado when he landed a highlight-reel slam over Giannis Antetokounmpo. Tatum’s consistent dominance in his sixth season has kept the Celtics at the top of the East, and his 41 points — including a 20-point third quarter — on 14 of 22 from the field to go with seven rebounds, five assists and three steals led his team to a festive 139-118 win on December 25, 2022.

Jayson Tatum

Luka Dončić is a talent so unique that even his triple-doubles make history. The four-time All-Star scored six points in the final 15 seconds of regulation, including an acrobatic and-1 putback followed by a purposely missed free throw that he corralled and turned into a circus shot that forced overtime with one second left. Dončić then scored seven of 11 overtime points, the highlight being a smooth fadeaway over Julius Randle that gave him 60 points on 21 of 31 from the field to pair with 21 rebounds and 10 assists. The 60 points were a Dallas Mavericks franchise record, and Dončić’s seventh triple-double of the season was the first 60-20-10 one in league history in the thrilling 126-121 victory over the New York Knicks on December 27, 2022.

Luka Dončić

Dunk of the year alert! As the owner of some of the NBA’s flashiest slams over the past four seasons, Ja Morant showed the Indiana Pacers there’s plenty more where those came from when he found a seam in the defense on a drive to the basket before he wound up and threw down an overpowering tomahawk jam. The arena-shaking dunk gave the Memphis Grizzlies a 20-point third quarter lead, and Morant’s 23 points and 10 assists helped the Grizzlies win their ninth consecutive game, a 130-112 display of dominance on January 14, 2023.

Ja Morant

Utah Jazz, beware — Joel Embiid is a one-man wrecking crew. The Philadelphia 76ers center did it all to sink the Jazz as he showed off enviable handles and footwork for a man his size on multiple dribble drives that ended in layups while also connecting on a slew of difficult fadeaways. The six-time All-Star also played game-changing defense with emphatic blocks on Kelly Olynyk and Collin Sexton and proved to be an unselfish teammate on a heads-up kick out to Tyrese Maxey for an open 3-pointer. Embiid exploded for a career-best 59 points, making 19 of 28 field goals and 20 of 24 free throws to pair with 11 rebounds, eight assists and seven blocks — the first 50-10-5-5 game in NBA history. The 59 points were fifth-most in franchise history, and Embiid’s third career 50-point game included him scoring 26 of Philly’s 27 fourth quarter points in the 105-98 triumph on November 13, 2022.

Joel Embiid

Devin Booker hung the third-highest scoring total of his career to date on the New Orleans Pelicans, and the Phoenix Suns needed every single one of them. With his team trailing by 24 points in the third quarter, the three-time All-Star activated heat check mode and was especially effective on strong drives to the basket. Whether in one-on-one matchups or taking on multiple defenders, Booker drew fouls three times while getting an assortment of runners, floaters and layups to drop. Booker rallied his team all the way back as he dropped 58 points — 36 during the second-half comeback — on 21 of 35 from the field while adding six rebounds, five assists and six triples in 12 attempts in the 118-114 victory on December 17, 2022.

Devin Booker

Already one of the finest scorers of his generation, it was only a matter of time before Damian Lillard did something only seven other players in NBA history have accomplished. The seven-time All-Star put together a historic performance for the ages against the Houston Rockets as he lit up the defense with a barrage of 3-pointers, including one from the logo. Lillard also got the crowd on its feet with a strong drive to the rack that he finished with a monster one-handed throwdown. The 11-year veteran posted 41 points by halftime and finished the contest with a staggering 71 points on 22 of 38 from the field, 13 for 22 from downtown and a perfect 14 for 14 at the foul line while also chipping in six rebounds and six assists in the 131-114 win on February 26, 2023. Lillard became the eighth player in league history and second this season to score 70 in a game. The 71 points and 13 treys were both career-highs and Portland Trail Blazers franchise records.

Damian Lillard

Nope, it’s not a bird or a plane — just Zach LaVine throwing down another gravity-defying dunk. The two-time All-Star and his Chicago Bulls were flying high against the Detroit Pistons after Coby White came up with a loose ball and led the break the other way. LaVine called for an alley-oop and his teammate was happy to oblige as LaVine got super aerial and finished with a thunderous one-handed throwdown that the Pistons were powerless to stop. LaVine barely missed all night — 15 for 20 from the field, 5 for 9 from downtown and 8 for 8 at the stripe — posting 43 points, three rebounds, six assists and two steals in Chicago’s 132-118 triumph on December 30, 2022.

Zach LaVine

Few players work harder on the defensive end than Draymond Green — just ask the Chicago Bulls. The 11th-year Golden State Warriors forward hustled around the court with a rookie’s energy, first sealing off the baseline from a Zach LaVine dribble drive before dutifully following the ball with laser focus as the Bulls whipped it around the perimeter. When Alex Caruso ultimately pulled the trigger on a 3-point try, Green burst into the guard’s path with flawless anticipation to block the attempt using the full extension of his 6-foot-6 frame. The four-time All-Star created havoc on both ends as he contributed 13 points, nine rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks in helping his squad prevail 119-111 on December 2, 2022.

Draymond Green

Running the pick-and-roll with LeBron James sometimes appears so easy that it might as well be a cheat code. The 19-time All-Star shares the wealth at home against the Washington Wizards, bringing the ball across halfcourt before gaining access to the lane courtesy of a helpful screen. James baits the defense into focusing on him, but instead of taking the shot himself he drops off a smooth between-the-legs bounce pass to a cutting Thomas Bryant for a two-handed throwdown. James scored a game-high 33 points while adding seven rebounds and nine assists in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 119-117 victory on December 18, 2022.

LeBron James

Jaren Jackson Jr. is a capable game-wrecker on both ends of the court — sometimes even in the same sequence. The Memphis Grizzlies’ first-time All-Star came away with a steal against the Los Angeles Lakers but the best was yet to come as Jackson Jr. trailed the play up the floor before pouncing on a missed John Konchar floater and hammering home a pulverizing putback slam over Anthony Davis. The emerging fifth-year forward and two-way threat tallied 16 points, seven rebounds and four blocks as the Grizzlies outscored the Lakers by 15 in the second half en route to a 121-109 victory on February 28, 2023.

Jaren Jackson Jr.

Jamal Murray wasn’t interested in losing on a last-second jumper, so he made one of his own instead. Right after a Damian Lillard trey put the Portland Trail Blazers up two with less than 10 seconds to go, Murray grabbed a pass on the wing from Nikola Jokić, took a few dribbles and drilled a step-back 3-pointer over Jerami Grant with 0.9 seconds on the clock to put the Denver Nuggets in front for good. Murray’s return from injury after missing the entire 2021-22 season has galvanized the Nuggets to the top of the Western Conference standings, and his 21 points, five rebounds and eight assists helped rally his squad from a 10-point fourth quarter deficit in the thrilling 121-120 victory on December 8, 2022.

Jamal Murray

There was never a doubt who would take the final shot in a tie game for the Indiana Pacers. There was even less doubt where the basketball would end up after it left his hands. Tyrese Haliburton showed the Miami Heat that he’s got ice water flowing through his veins when he dribbled across halfcourt, shook his defender loose and pulled up from way downtown to bury a game-winning trey with 4.1 seconds to play. The first-time All-Star in 2023 showed why he was worthy of such an honor as Haliburton lit up the Heat for 43 points — the first 40-point game of his three-year career — while also chipping in seven assists and a franchise-record 10 3-pointers in Indiana’s 111-108 victory on December 23, 2022.

Tyrese Haliburton

Right from the start, this season just seemed different for De’Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings. The Kings turned it over on an inbounds pass in the final seconds of overtime, allowing the Orlando Magic to tie the game with 2.5 seconds left. But Fox would not let his team lose as he took four dribbles on the ensuing possession and buried a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from the logo. It was just the eighth game of a still young season, but Fox’s 37 points on 14 of 24 shooting were a sign of things to come as the sixth-year point guard would later be named a first-time All-Star and help the Kings clinch their first postseason berth since 2006. Fox also chipped in five rebounds and three assists in Sacramento’s thrilling 126-123 win on November 5, 2022.

De'Aaron Fox

First, he broke ankles. Then Jalen Brunson buried a backbreaking jumper. With his New York Knicks holding a six-point overtime lead, Brunson goes for the dagger when his slick handles send a wobbly Alex Caruso to the hardwood, leaving the prized free agent addition all kinds of room to knock down the open 3-pointer. Brunson’s fingerprints were all over the Knicks’ fifth consecutive victory, as his 30 points on 11 of 21 shooting plus seven assists were a major catalyst in the 128-120 decision on December 14, 2022.

Jalen Brunson

When a teammate had his shot blocked, Kawhi Leonard was on standby to make things right. Norman Powell’s three-point attempt is rejected by Tim Hardaway Jr., so Leonard entered the trenches and muscled the rebound away from multiple Dallas Mavericks. The five-time All-Star did not stop there, as he raced out to Powell’s initial shot location and buried a straightaway triple for the LA Clippers. Leonard’s 30 points, nine rebounds and three assists were a major factor in his squad leaving Dallas with a 112-98 victory on January 22, 2023. 

Kawhi Leonard

This is precisely what the Dallas Mavericks had in mind when pairing Kyrie Irving with Luka Dončić. The superstar duo showed its potential power against the Philadelphia 76ers as Irving used some crafty dribbling to get past James Harden and Joel Embiid before converting an athletic shot in the paint over Tyrese Maxey. The eight-time All-Star erupted for 40 points on 15 for 22 shooting and also chipped in four rebounds, six assists, three steals and six three-pointers in the 133-126 win on March 2, 2023. Dončić tallied 42 points himself, and they became the first Dallas duo to score at least 40 in the same game and just the fifth pair of players in 30 years to accomplish the feat in regulation. 

Kyrie Irving

If DeMar DeRozan sends a game to overtime, it’s usually with a bucket — so he decided to change it up against the Milwaukee Bucks. With his Chicago Bulls trailing by two points in the closing seconds, DeRozan picks off Giannis Antetokounmpo’s inbounds pass and flicks the ball to an in-transition Ayo Dosunmu for the game-tying slam. DeRozan later scored 10 points in overtime to help clinch a 119-113 victory on December 28, 2022, as his 42 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks rallied the Bulls out of a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

DeMar DeRozan

LaMelo Ball’s third triple-double of the season was accompanied by some historical perspective. The Charlotte Hornets point guard kept the heads of the San Antonio Spurs’ defenders on swivels with some truly dizzying handles, going behind-the-back and through his legs multiple times until he gained access to the paint and dropped a running floater in the bucket. Ball’s 28 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists gave him a franchise-leading ninth triple-double of his career, and he also became the second-youngest player in NBA history — behind only LeBron James — to record 1,000 points, rebounds and assists, doing so in Charlotte’s 120-110 win on February 15, 2023. 

LaMelo Ball

While two of his Sacramento Kings teammates were named 2023 All-Stars, Keegan Murray had the look of a future one against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The fourth overall selection in the 2022 NBA Draft showed off his athleticism on a determined drive to the basket before finishing with an in-tight slam despite the efforts of two defenders to knock Murray off course. Murray made all five of his two-point attempts while going 5 of 7 from downtown for a team-high 29 points to pair with 14 rebounds in Sacramento’s 118-113 victory on January 20, 2023. 

Keegan Murray

As one of the more unselfish Rookie of the Year winners in recent memory, Scottie Barnes is willing to do whatever it takes to get a win. The reigning recipient of the award put it all on the line for his Toronto Raptors teammates, first blocking consecutive Chicago Bulls shot attempts on the defensive end before gathering the loose ball and motoring the other way in transition. Barnes capped the gritty sequence by dropping off an assist to an open Pascal Siakam, who dutifully finished with a dunk. Barnes finished with 11 points, eight rebounds, four assists and four blocks in Toronto’s 104-98 victory on February 28, 2023. 

Scottie Barnes

Kyle Kuzma saved his best for last. After a game-tying 3-pointer by Zach LaVine with 30 seconds left in regulation, it appeared the Washington Wizards and Chicago Bulls could be headed for overtime. But Kuzma had other plans as he used a screen from Taj Gibson to get by his initial defender before he drove to his right and buried a leaning triple in front of Washington’s bench with 5.7 seconds remaining. Kuzma’s game-winner was part of a solid effort of 21 points, four rebounds and three assists as the Wizards edged the Bulls 100-97 on January 11, 2023.

Kyle Kuzma

He’s so good that he doesn’t even need his eyes to make spectacular plays. Such is life when you’re Giannis Antetokounmpo, who continues to make the impossible happen on a nightly basis. Returning from a two-game absence against the Atlanta Hawks, the Milwaukee Bucks superstar makes up for lost time by flicking a no-look over-the-shoulder dime to a waiting Bobby Portis Jr., who finishes the possession with a layup. It was another typical night at the office for the two-time MVP, who finished the November 14, 2022 game with 27 points, eight rebounds and four assists.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

In his first All-Star season, Lauri Markkanen showed his old team exactly what they were missing. Markkanen spent his first four seasons with the Chicago Bulls but is now turning heads for the Utah Jazz in a career year. Back in the Windy City for a showdown with the Bulls, the sixth-year forward received a pass in the corner and blew right by Patrick Williams before he took flight and threw down an absolute poster on Nikola Vučević. Markkanen made 12 of his 20 shots for a team-high 28 points while adding four rebounds, three assists and three steals on January 7, 2023.

Lauri Markkanen

In the longest gap between All-Star berths in league history, Jrue Holiday has been well worth the wait. In his second-to-last contest before a well-deserved second All-Star Game, the Milwaukee Bucks point guard erupted for one of the finest performances of his career against a fellow Eastern Conference titan. Whether he was picking Derrick White’s pocket for a steal that led to a fast break slam or unleashing a steady barrage of 3-pointers, Holiday was at the top of his game in a thrilling showdown that needed overtime to decide a winner. In the end, Holiday’s masterful night of 40 points on 13 for 21 shooting — including a sizzling 8 for 12 mark from downtown — along with five rebounds and seven assists was too much for the Boston Celtics to overcome in Milwaukee’s exhilarating 131-125 win on February 14, 2023.

Jrue Holiday

De’Aaron Fox left little doubt as to why he was named a first-time All-Star in 2023. When a pair of his Sacramento Kings teammates trapped Luka Dončić just across halfcourt, Fox flashed into the frame to swipe Dončić’s pass before finishing the subsequent fast break with a thunderous one-handed throwdown. Fox made 12 field goals and free throws each en route to a game-high 36 points to go with four rebounds, five assists and three steals as the Kings dispatched the Dallas Mavericks 133-128 in overtime on February 11, 2023. 

Jeremy Sochan sure doesn’t play like a rookie in crunch time. The rookie San Antonio Spurs forward shaves a late five-point Memphis Grizzlies lead down to one in a matter of seconds, first by converting a reverse layup in transition before immediately stealing the inbounds pass and throwing down an emphatic slam to keep his team in the fight. Sochan converted 6 of his 7 field goal attempts for 13 points while adding two rebounds and two steals in the overtime thriller on November 9, 2022. 

Jeremy Sochan

It doesn’t get much more fun than a big man running the floor with the ball in his hands. Bam Adebayo proved he’s built differently against the Phoenix Suns when he scoops up a loose ball and showcases his crafty handles in the open court before hitting a puzzled Devin Booker with a nasty spin move and a circus shot. The 2020 All-Star’s 30-point, 10-rebound effort extinguished the Suns in the Miami Heat’s nail-biting 113-112 victory on November 14, 2022. 

Bam Adebayo

Record a triple-double, win the game — it’s become that simple for Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets. The New Orleans Pelicans are powerless to slow down the two-time reigning MVP as he chases down a loose ball and weaves his way through three defenders with a dazzlingly-deceptive drive before finishing with a layup. Jokić made 10 of his 14 shots for 26 points, 18 rebounds and 15 assists as the Nuggets improved to 16-0 on the season whenever he posts a triple-double, as Denver got by the Pelicans 122-113 on January 31, 2023.

Nikola Jokić

In year 15, Russell Westbrook can still turn any pass on the court into an assist. The Detroit Pistons learned that the hard way as Westbrook — inbounding far away from the basket — needed less than two seconds to whip a three-quarter court laser into the hands of Lonnie Walker IV, who buries the catch-and-shoot triple to beat the halftime buzzer. Ten of Westbrook’s game-high 12 assists came in the first half, as the nine-time All-Star added 10 points and five rebounds in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 128-121 victory on November 18, 2022.

Russell Westbrook

Jamal Murray looks like his old self again, which is bad news for the rest of the league. Against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Denver point guard uses a pick from Nikola Jokić to gain access into the lane. Met by a wall of defenders, Murray wisely passes up the shot attempt and instead opts for an acrobatic dish to his MVP teammate, who punctuates the possession with a floater. Murray produced 13 points, four rebounds, six assists and two steals in helping Denver prevail 110-99 on October 26, 2022.

After taking the G League by storm with his explosive scoring prowess, Jaden Hardy was ready for the big stage. The Dallas Mavericks rookie introduces himself to the New Orleans Pelicans in style, using his momentum to blow by Kira Lewis Jr. with his left hand into the lane before switching to his right and finishing with an up-and-under layup around Willy Hernangomez. Hardy matched his career-high with 15 points on 7 for 9 shooting while adding two steals in his squad’s 127-117 win on January 7, 2023.

Jaden Hardy

Don’t let your guard down when Dejounte Murray is on the prowl. The Cleveland Cavaliers took their time pushing the ball up the court and learned a humbling lesson in nonchalance as Murray sprung into action and picked off a lazy Darius Garland pass near halfcourt before landing a high-flying fast break throwdown on the other end. Murray has dazzled in the Atlanta Hawks’ backcourt after spending his first five seasons with the San Antonio Spurs, and his 25 points — 15 in a torrid second quarter in which he made seven straight shots — on 11 for 19 shooting along with nine rebounds and eight assists were too much for the Cavs to overcome in his squad’s 136-119 victory on February 24, 2023. 

Dejounte Murray

Anytime he takes the floor, Paul George is capable of taking the LA Clippers to unprecedented heights — literally. The eight-time All-Star oozes confidence against the San Antonio Spurs, first coming up with a steal on the defensive end before racing into the wide open space between him and the basket to hammer home a breathtaking windmill slam that gave his squad a 20-point advantage. George had the Clippers firing on all cylinders as he overwhelmed the Spurs with 35 points on 14 of 19 shooting while also chipping in four rebounds, seven assists, three steals and five triples in his team’s dominant 138-100 win on January 26, 2023.

Paul George

Not many defenders are capable of getting the best of Joel Embiid at the rim, but Jaren Jackson Jr. is cut from a different cloth. The 2022 NBA blocks leader and All-Defensive First Team selection backed up his credentials when Embiid drove strongly to the basket with a dunk on his mind, only to be emphatically denied by Jackson Jr., who leaves the Philadelphia 76ers’ superstar hanging on the rim with nothing to show for his efforts. Jackson Jr. — an All-Star for the Memphis Grizzlies in 2023 — was money on both ends of the court as he tallied 22 points, nine rebound and four blocks in his team’s 117-109 win on December 2, 2022. 

Jalen Brunson’s handle is so shifty that even extremely athletic players have trouble keeping up. Jeremy Sochan puts in an admirable effort in trying to stick with the New York Knicks point guard, but Brunson’s bag of tricks proves to be too deep as he eludes the San Antonio Spurs rookie in a man-to-man matchup long enough to bury a mid-range jumper. Brunson erupted for a career-high 38 points on 17 of 27 shooting and the Knicks needed every one of them — along with seven rebounds and six assists — in the 117-114 nail-biting victory on January 4, 2023.

When Devin Booker is rolling, he’s one of the hardest players in the NBA to contain. The Sacramento Kings had few answers for the Phoenix Suns star, as Booker takes an inbounds pass and gets to work in beating Davion Mitchell off the dribble with a behind-the-back move while spinning around his defender for the and-one layup. The three-time All-Star went off for 44 points on 17 of 28 shooting while also contributing eight rebounds, four assists and six steals in Phoenix’s 122-117 road victory on November 28, 2022, the Suns’ fifth consecutive win.

The game just looks easy when Cade Cunningham is playing with confidence. The first overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft looks to be in his comfort zone with a strong drive to the basket against the Atlanta Hawks, finishing with an underhanded high-arcing scoop shot off the glass in traffic. Cunningham scored 27 of his career-high 35 points in the first half while also chipping in nine rebounds and eight assists for the Detroit Pistons on October 28, 2022.

Cade Cunningham

Ochai Agbaji relished the opportunity to show he can throw down with the best of them in his Top Shot debut. The Utah Jazz rookie guard gets a head start on the counterattack following a Memphis Grizzlies miss, receiving an outlet pass from Jordan Clarkson with only one defender standing between him and the basket. Agbaji doesn’t back down from the challenge, skying high and throwing down a highlight-reel jam. The 14th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft is playing with extreme confidence, scoring 17 points on 7 of 12 shooting on February 15, 2023.

Ochai Agbaji

Not only did Mark Williams have one of the best games of his young career — he also helped turn a close game into the Charlotte Hornets’ fourth straight win. Leading by three points with under a minute to go, Williams used his strength and sheer force of will to grab an offensive rebound off a Terry Rozier miss before putting it back with a thunderous throwdown. The rookie center continued to earn more meaningful minutes after he scored the final four points of the game, and his 18-point, 20-rebound effort delivered the Hornets a 108-103 win over the Miami Heat on February 25, 2023. 

Mark Williams

With the Golden State Warriors playing without Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, Patrick Baldwin Jr. paid homage to his Splash Brothers teammates. The rookie forward was called on for increased minutes for the shorthanded Warriors and delivered from downtown in his Top Shot debut, draining a catch-and-shoot triple off a dump off pass from Anthony Lamb. Eight of the 10 shots Baldwin Jr. attempted were from behind the arc, converting five of them for 17 points along with three rebounds against the Brooklyn Nets on December 21, 2022.

Patrick Baldwin Jr.

Without Jalen Brunson in the fold, Immanuel Quickley did a fine job emulating his absent teammate. In a marathon thriller against the Boston Celtics, Quickley stepped into the starting lineup and lit it up for the New York Knicks on a strong drive into the lane before getting a friendly bounce on an underhand scoop shot off the glass. Quickley played a game-high 55 minutes and erupted for a career-best 38 points along with eight rebounds, seven assists, four steals and five three-pointers as New York prevailed 131-129 in double overtime on March 5, 2023. 

Immanuel Quickley

No matter who the Washington Wizards sent Brook Lopez’s way, the result remained the same. The veteran Milwaukee Bucks center showed he meant business on the defensive end, first issuing a firm denial on a Kristaps Porziņģis drive to the basket before doubling down and forcing Deni Avdija into the same fate following an offensive board. Lopez posted 15 points, six rebounds and three blocks in his squad’s 117-111 road victory on March 5, 2023. 

Brook Lopez

With one of his All-Star teammates unavailable, Derrick White proved to be the perfect stand-in for Jaylen Brown. The Boston Celtics didn’t miss a beat against the Charlotte Hornets as White lit them up from downtown, using a helpful screen from Luke Kornet to bury a triple from the top of the key. The sixth-year guard had a particularly sizzling first half in dropping 26 points and seven three-pointers and finished with a career-best 33 points on 12 of 19 shooting — including 8 for 14 from deep — while adding three rebounds, 10 assists and three blocks in Boston’s 127-116 victory on February 10, 2023. 

Derrick White

Forget about traditional behind-the-back passes — Alperen Şengün is simultaneously dropping dimes behind his and his defender’s backs. The legend of the second-year Houston Rockets center continues to grow against the Minnesota Timberwolves on a post up of Naz Reid, and Şengün doesn’t panic when he picks his dribble up in a precarious spot as Austin Rivers drifts over as the help defender. Şengün calmly wrapped a highlight-reel dish behind his and Reid’s backs to a cutting Josh Christopher for the slam, and he did it all on January 21, 2023, making 7 of his 9 shots for 19 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks. 

Alperen Şengün

Darius Garland’s handles should come with a whiplash warning. The fourth-year Cleveland Cavaliers point guard showed the Milwaukee Bucks why he’s become one of the best facilitators in the league as he fakes the defense out not once but twice, first with a ball fake to his left before continuing his strong drive to the rim. Instead of forcing the shot over a much taller Brook Lopez, Garland drew the Bucks center in before dropping off a dish to Evan Mobley for a powerful slam. The 2022 All-Star posted 21 points, three rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in his squad’s 114-102 triumph on January 21, 2023. 

Darius Garland

No defender is safe from ending up on a highlight reel whenever Zach LaVine has the ball in his hands. The Chicago Bulls’ two-time All-Star puts the Utah Jazz on notice, first blowing by Malik Beasley before getting Udoka Azubuike to jump out of his shoes with a deceptive pump fake that becomes an uncontested layup. LaVine’s 20 points, six rebounds and five assists were too much for the Jazz to handle as the Bulls left Salt Lake City with a 114-107 victory on November 28, 2022.

The New Orleans Pelicans needed a hero to avoid a disastrous fourth-quarter collapse — lucky for them, CJ McCollum is on their side. McCollum’s first bucket of the final frame was a three-pointer that put his squad up by 15 until a 12-0 Dallas Mavericks run made it a one-possession game. Refusing to let his team lose, McCollum went nuclear in the final four minutes — a foul-line pull up, three straight triples including one off a nasty crossover that fools Davis Bertans and a driving floater with under a minute to play that put the game out of reach. McCollum scored 16 straight down the stretch for the Pelicans and a game-high 32 overall to pair with five rebounds, five assists and six treys in the thrilling 113-106 win on March 8, 2023. 

CJ McCollum

Haywood Highsmith and his shot dropped together. After defending a Boston Celtics three-point attempt, the Miami Heat forward uses his forward momentum to get himself into prime position on the counterattack in his Top Shot debut. When Gabe Vincent snares a defensive rebound, he looks up the floor to find Highsmith all alone and the third-year forward connects on the open triple despite a flying Celtics defender knocking him off his feet. Highsmith didn’t miss at all from downtown, connecting on all four of his treys for 15 points to go with 10 rebounds off the bench as the Heat knocked off the Celtics 98-95 on January 24, 2023.

Haywood Highsmith

The San Antonio Spurs may not have won the game, but Zach Collins certainly didn’t lose any confidence in the process. The 2017 lottery pick has one of the best performances of his career in a marathon double overtime contest against the Detroit Pistons, as Collins shows off his athleticism in a one-on-one battle against Isaiah Stewart with an agile spin move and layup. Collins scored a career-best 29 points on 11 of 16 shooting to go with 11 rebounds and three assists in the double overtime showdown on February 10, 2023.

Zach Collins

When Trendon Watford ran into traffic in the paint, there was no panic — just a heads-up pass and a win to celebrate. Making his Top Shot debut, the Portland Trail Blazers’ second-year forward makes the smart play when confronted by two Washington Wizards defenders, hitting a cutting Josh Hart with a no-look pass through the back door for a layup that increases his squad’s lead to 11 with under a minute to play. Watford made a significant impact off the bench, posting 21 points on 9 of 12 shooting along with three rebounds and five assists in Portland’s 124-116 victory on February 3, 2023.

Trendon Watford

After his New York Knicks got into an early 15-point hole in the first quarter, Immanuel Quickley ensured there would be no repeat occurrence. The third-year reserve guard has a sizzling second frame against the Boston Celtics, looking for space to operate at the top of the key before handing off to Jalen Brunson. Brunson gives it right back and Quickley delivers, burying a long straightaway three-pointer — the final bucket of a 15-point quarter for Quickley, who tallied 17 points and five rebounds off the bench in helping his squad knock off the Celtics 120-117 in overtime on January 26, 2023.

Chris Paul made up for lost time with style after missing the previous seven games with an injury. The 12-time All-Star gives the Phoenix Suns an instant lift upon his return to the lineup, issuing a flashy between-the-legs bounce pass to a cutting Bismack Biyombo for a well-earned layup. Now in his 18th season, Paul shows he can still fill up a box score with 22 points, six rebounds, 11 assists and three steals in helping the Suns knock off the Memphis Grizzlies 112-110 on January 22, 2023.

Chris Paul

Time was precious, so Evan Mobley put on a show all by himself. With just over five seconds remaining before halftime, the Cleveland Cavaliers big man has a lot of ground to cover as he races the length of the court in just four dribbles before finishing with a perfectly-executed Eurostep and slam around Orlando Magic rookie Paolo Banchero with one second to spare. Mobley posted 19 points of 9 of 10 from the field to go with 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in Cleveland’s 107-96 triumph on December 2, 2022.

Evan Mobley

Trailing by as many as 21 points is never ideal, but having a healthy Khris Middleton to utilize as a bench weapon sure is. Starring in a new role designed to keep a sore knee fresh after missing 18 games, Middleton helps the Milwaukee Bucks rally from a huge deficit at home against the LA Clippers, dribbling with purpose up the court before burying a pull-up triple to get his team within two points in the fourth quarter. Middleton played a major role in the comeback victory, scoring 16 points while grabbing seven rebounds and dishing out two assists in 20 productive minutes as the Bucks prevailed 106-105 on February 2, 2023.

Khris Middleton

Sharing a court with Damian Lillard for the past five seasons has brought out the best in Anfernee Simons. Simons takes a page out of Lillard’s book from downtown against the Utah Jazz, drilling a stepback three-pointer even with Malik Beasley draped all over him on the defensive end. It was one of the best performances of Simons’ career to date as he poured in 45 points on 15 of 25 from the field — including a pristine 7 for 12 behind the arc — along with two rebounds, four assists and two blocks in the Portland Trail Blazers’ 116-111 triumph on December 3, 2022.

Anfernee Simons

You don’t get to the top of the Eastern Conference standings without a little hustle thrown in along the way. Derrick White shows the Dallas Mavericks how hard he and the Boston Celtics work on the defensive end as the sixth-year guard denies Spencer Dinwiddie a throwdown with a sensational block at the rim. The Celtics have been one of the East’s most powerful squads in White’s two seasons with the team, and his 10 points and two blocks helped Boston claim a dominant 124-95 victory on January 5, 2023. 

If Jalen Green continues at his current rate, there are bound to be plenty more 40-point nights in his future. Less than a week after dropping 41 on the Charlotte Hornets, the Houston Rockets’ second-year shooting guard is at it again when the Minnesota Timberwolves come to town. Green runs the floor with a sense of urgency before pulling up and draining a difficult step-back triple to beat the third quarter buzzer and give his squad a nine-point lead. Green was too much for the Timberwolves to handle, erupting for 42 points on 11 of 23 shooting to go with four rebounds, four assists and six three-pointers in Houston’s 119-114 win on January 23, 2023.

Jalen Green

With just three points at halftime, this felt like a forgettable game for Bojan Bogdanović — until it wasn’t. The Detroit Pistons’ veteran forward went off in the second half against the Miami Heat, draining a difficult stepback three-pointer with Tyler Herro right in his face. The triple was one of seven in nine attempts for Bogdanović, who tallied 28 points in a scintillating second half and allowed the Pistons to cruise to a 116-96 road victory on December 6, 2022. Bogdanović finished with 31 points, three rebounds, five assists and three steals. 

Bojan Bogdanović

Riding a wave of confidence in the form of a six-game winning streak, RJ Barrett and the sizzling New York Knicks decided that lucky number seven sounded even better. Barrett takes on the Indiana Pacers defense all by himself, refusing to be denied as he crosses halfcourt and drives with determination down the heart of the lane before blowing by his initial defender and finishing with a powerful one-handed slam. Barrett’s 24 points and four rebounds were vital to the Knicks extending their streak in the 109-106 win on December 18, 2022.

RJ Barrett

One man’s miss can be another’s opportunity — just ask Vlatko Čančar. Following a Houston Rockets three-point attempt that is way off the mark, the tipped rebound makes its way to Čančar, whose forward momentum turns the possession into a fast break throwdown that takes flight just inside the foul line. The fourth-year reserve forward barely missed for the Denver Nuggets, converting 5 of his 6 field goals for 13 points in 21 minutes while grabbing five rebounds in a 120-100 win on November 30, 2022.

Vlatko Cančar

The Washington Wizards had not won in San Antonio since Bradley Beal was six years old — until now. The three-time All–Star helps end a 22-game losing streak against the Spurs in Texas that dated back to 1999, hustling from the backcourt into the frontcourt off an inbounds play to convert a driving layup with 2.1 seconds before halftime, aided by a heady assist from Kristaps Porziņģis. Beal’s 21 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and two blocks were a major catalyst in delivering the Wizards a long-awaited 127-106 win on January 30, 2023.

Bradley Beal

The San Antonio Spurs tried everything to cool off CJ McCollum from downtown — even when they fouled him, it didn’t work. McCollum uses a pass and screen from Jonas Valančiūnas to create an opening and fires a triple from the wing that finds a home at the bottom of the net despite being knocked off his feet on the attempt. McCollum connected on 14 of his 27 field goals — including a 7 of 14 mark from behind the arc — while also providing eight rebounds, nine assists and two blocks in the New Orleans Pelicans’ 126-117 victory on December 22, 2022.

Without their top three scorers, somebody needed to step up in the clutch for the Los Angeles Lakers. With the outcome hanging in the balance, Dennis Schröder is the man for the job against the Miami Heat as the veteran point guard takes on all comers on a strong crunch-time drive before finishing with a layup over the fingertips of two defenders. The bucket gave the Lakers a four-point lead with 20 seconds to play and Schröder scored 14 of his season-high 32 points in the fourth quarter, including nine in the final 2:35. Schröder added four rebounds, two assists, four steals and four treys in his squad’s 112-109 victory on January 4, 2023.

Dennis Schröder

Karl-Anthony Towns and the Minnesota Timberwolves didn’t miss much at all. The three-time All-Star is dripping with confidence against the Indiana Pacers, drawing his defender away from the basket before creating space with a slick between-the-legs dribble and finishing with a step-back jumper from just inside the three-point arc. Towns made 8 of his 11 field goals for 23 points — part of a .610 shooting performance for Minnesota — while also chipping in 11 rebounds, eight assists, two steals and two blocks in helping the Timberwolves win their fifth straight game, a 115-101 decision on November 23, 2022.

Karl-Anthony Towns

Bobby Portis invited himself to two points once the Orlando Magic left the back door open. Jrue Holiday works to find an opening in the defense, buying just enough time for Portis to sneak into a sliver of open space beneath the basket and throw down a powerful slam before the defenders have a chance to recover. Portis connected on 8 of 12 shots for 18 points while also grabbing 10 rebounds in helping his Milwaukee Bucks prevail 109-102 on December 5, 2022.

Bobby Portis

Life is all about balance when you’re Tyler Herro. The Miami Heat guard thinks quickly on his feet against the Houston Rockets, catching a pass in a precarious position along the baseline with his back to the basket. No problem for Herro, who fools his defender with a head fake one way before spinning in the other direction and flipping up a difficult layup that he converts in traffic. The possession was part of a huge night for the four-year veteran, who packaged a game-high 31 points with nine rebounds, eight assists and five three-pointers in Miami’s 97-95 victory on February 10, 2023.

Tyler Herro

Whether Jordan Poole starts or comes off the bench, a simple common denominator emerges — the Golden State Warriors guard is going to deliver. Tabbed for the starting five against the Charlotte Hornets, Poole works around a screen from Draymond Green before motoring toward the basket and completely fooling Mason Plumlee with a deceptive hand-switching, through-the-legs dribble maneuver that he punctuates with an open layup. Poole posted 24 points, two rebounds and six assists in Golden State’s 110-105 win on December 27, 2022.

Jordan Poole

Domantas Sabonis and the resurgent Sacramento Kings keep checking boxes off their list — and now the franchise has its first triple-double since the 2018-19 season. Sabonis proves to be a jack-of-all-trades against the Chicago Bulls, taking advantage of a favorable matchup as he pump fakes and pivots his way through traffic before his patience is rewarded with a layup. The two-time All-Star tallied 11 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists in Sacramento’s 110-101 triumph on December 4, 2022.

Domantas Sabonis

In less than four seasons, Gabe Vincent has made the transition from undrafted free agent to indispensable rotation member. Stepping into the starting lineup for the short-handed Miami Heat, Vincent’s shiftiness gives the Milwaukee Bucks nightmares as he pump fakes his way into a favorable one-on-one matchup before finishing with a stepback three-pointer. Vincent poured in a career-high 28 points on 10 of 17 shooting while also chipping in three rebounds, six assists, two steals and five triples in Miami’s gritty 108-102 victory on January 12, 2023.

Gabe Vincent

Without Joel Embiid and James Harden, it was up to Tyrese Maxey to steal the show against one of the NBA’s most pleasant surprises. The explosive Philadelphia 76ers guard blows by Kevin Huerter and charges into the lane to convert a difficult running layup over Domantas Sabonis while absorbing contact. The third-year pro was too much for the Kings to handle, as Maxey scored 32 points — 15 in a third quarter that the 76ers won by 16 points — while grabbing three rebounds and dishing out six assists to help Philly complete a perfect 5-0 road trip with a 129-127 victory on January 21, 2023.

Tyrese Maxey

After playing just eight minutes in the 2022 NBA Finals, Jonathan Kuminga had unfinished business when the Boston Celtics came to town. The second-year Golden State Warriors forward shows that persistence pays off in a one-on-one battle down low with Jayson Tatum, as Kuminga twists and pivots his way closer to the basket. When Tatum dislodges the ball, Kuminga’s motor keeps running as he scoops it up before going out of bounds and finishes the second-chance opportunity with a dunk. Kuminga tallied 14 points on 6 of 9 shooting while adding five rebounds and three assists in Golden State’s 123-107 win on December 10, 2022.

Jonathan Kuminga

Persistence paid off for Desmond Bane and the Memphis Grizzlies. When the possession initially stalls due to a missed floater by Tyus Jones, Bane doggedly chases down the offensive rebound before whipping a laser to a wide open Jones in the corner, who doesn’t miss again in burying the three-pointer. Bane poured in 28 points on 10 of 12 shooting while also chipping in three rebounds, six assists and two steals in helping the Grizzlies win their 10th consecutive game — a 136-106 decision over the Phoenix Suns on January 16, 2023.

Desmond Bane

Malcolm Brogdon is fitting in just fine with the Boston Celtics. In his first season with the NBA-leading Celtics, the veteran reserve makes his squad even more dangerous when an offensive board by Luke Kornet keeps the Boston possession alive. The ball lands in the hands of Marcus Smart, who hits a cutting Brogdon with a bounce pass in the paint before the 2017 Rookie of the Year unselfishly drops off a dish to Kornet for an open dunk. Brogdon poured in a season-high 30 points on 11 of 17 shooting while adding three rebounds, three assists and four triples in his squad’s 122-106 win over the Charlotte Hornets on January 14, 2023.

Malcolm Brogdon

The Boston Celtics and Robert Williams III are flying high — in the standings and on the court. San Antonio Spurs rookie Malaki Branham thinks he’s got a clear look at a straightaway three-pointer until Williams III puts his elite athleticism on display by springboarding from the foul line to block the shot. The fifth-year center was not finished either, as Williams III beats Branham to the loose ball before scooping it up and finishing the play with a fast break layup. Boston’s man in the middle posted 10 points on 5 for 6 shooting — along with 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals and four blocks — in his squad’s 121–116 win on January 7, 2023.

Robert Williams III

With his team in the midst of a 10-game losing streak, Brandon Ingram had seen enough. With his New Orleans Pelicans hanging on to a four-point lead with just over a minute to play in regulation, Ingram drives against his defender before pulling up at the foul line and calmly draining a clutch jumper. The seventh-year veteran — who spent his first three seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers — lit up his former team for a game-high 35 points on 15 of 28 shooting while also contributing five rebounds and four assists to help snap his squad’s skid in the 131-126 win on February 4, 2023.

Brandon Ingram

Josh Hart turned a near mistake into a highlight-reel throwdown. The Portland Trail Blazers guard nearly throws away an inbounds pass against the Indiana Pacers until Damian Lillard runs it down and tosses the ball back to Hart, who dribbles with a head of steam through the teeth of the defense down the lane before finishing with a powerful posterization. Hart produced 12 points on a perfect 4 for 4 from the field while adding 10 rebounds and eight assists on January 6, 2023.

Josh Hart

Stay ready no matter what, because you never know when your Moment will arrive. Although it had been almost a month since he had scored double-digit points, Cam Thomas rose to the occasion for the Brooklyn Nets when the team was shorthanded on the road against the Indiana Pacers. With the second quarter clock nearly at zero, Thomas drives head-on at T.J. McConnell before pulling up to drain a running floater from 18 feet to beat the halftime buzzer. It was one of 13 made shots for the second-year guard, who erupted for 33 points and three rebounds in 29 minutes off the bench to lift the Nets to a 136-133 win on December 12, 2022. 

Cam Thomas

A 24-point deficit doesn’t seem as daunting when Buddy Hield is out here scoring points three at a time. The Indiana Pacers shooting guard starts the possession with the ball in his hands before swinging it around the perimeter, with the rock making its way back to Hield as he finishes with a wide-open three-pointer. Hield scored 27 points against the Chicago Bulls while adding four rebounds and six three-pointers — passing Reggie Miller for the single-season franchise record — as the Pacers rallied for a 117-113 victory on February 15, 2023.

Buddy Hield

Step one: beat the shot clock — step two: beat the LA Clippers. Mike Conley shows he is up for both tasks as he hits Walker Kessler with an inbounds pass before the Utah Jazz rookie dumps it right back to Conley, who buries the corner trey before the shot clock expires. Now in his 16th NBA season and fourth with the Jazz, the veteran point guard still has a knack for knocking down clutch shots as his 17 points, four rebounds, nine assists and five three-pointers helped the Jazz dispatch the Clippers 126-103 on January 18, 2023.

Mike Conley

Even in his 11th season, Draymond Green is still finding new creative ways to facilitate for his teammates. The four-time All-Star turns a steal against the Washington Wizards into an adventure as he picks off an inbounds pass and has to stay nimble to prevent the still-loose ball from rolling out of bounds. Sensing he’s running out of available real estate, a quick-thinking Green finally corralls the ball and heaves a pass to Andrew Wiggins for an open layup before careening over the end line. The four-time champion stuffed the stat sheet with 17 points, six rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in the Golden State Warriors’ 127-118 win on January 16, 2023. 

As one of the Utah Jazz’s most experienced players, Jordan Clarkson knows a thing or two about winning with the game on the line. The ninth-year guard is money in crunch time against the New Orleans Pelicans despite being locked into a physical one-on-one battle with Naji Marshall, utilizing some shifty dribbles as well as his body strength to create just enough separation to drop a fadeaway from the elbow. After tying the game late in the fourth quarter, Clarkson scored the first four points of overtime en route to 38 points on 15 for 26 shooting along with eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and seven triples in Utah’s 132-129 win on December 15, 2022. 

Jordan Clarkson

Up by as many as 18 points in the fourth quarter against the Utah Jazz, the San Antonio Spurs needed a hero when their lead shrunk to three with 30 seconds to play. Good thing they had Tre Jones. The Spurs’ point guard saves his best for last, beating Malik Beasley off the dribble on a determined drive to the basket before finishing with a layup in traffic with 7.1 seconds remaining. Jones’ dagger was part of an 11-point, five-rebound, five-assist performance in the 126-122 victory on December 26, 2022.

Tre Jones

Kyle Lowry in the clutch still remains a huge crowd pleaser. The six-time All-Star turns back the clock for a vintage crunch-time performance against the New Orleans Pelicans, scoring nine straight points in the final three minutes of the fourth quarter. The Miami Heat point guard begins with a step-back triple before beating his defender with a pump fake and runner from just outside the lane. Lowry then follows with an underhand layup in traffic and finishes with a pullup jumper from 18 feet to keep the Pelicans at bay. Lowry finished with 17 points, two assists and four steals, and his big end-of-game run helped the Heat escape with a 100-96 win on January 22, 2023.

Kyle Lowry

The young, upstart Utah Jazz are flying high and Jordan Clarkson is thrilled to be along for the ride. As one of just four players aged 30 or older on the Jazz's roster, Clarkson plays with an extra spring in his step against the Los Angeles Lakers. Driving into the lane with ease, the ninth-year point guard takes flight and throws down an authoritative slam while hanging on the rim a bit longer to take it all in. Clarkson’s 20 points, seven rebounds and three assists helped the Jazz improve to 7-3 on the young season in a 130-116 win on November 4, 2022.

Clinging to a three-point lead with a surging Joel Embiid rumbling toward the basket, the Washington Wizards were in need of a critical defensive stop. Enter Deni Avdija. The third-year forward comes up clutch, timing Embiid’s trajectory perfectly by reaching down low and blocking the Philadelphia 76ers All-Star’s driving layup attempt with 23 seconds remaining. Avdija — who would later sink two free throws to put the game out of reach — contributed seven points, three rebounds and one game-saving block in Washington’s 116-111 victory on December 27, 2022, snapping Philly’s eight-game win streak in the process.

Deni Avdija

Daniel Gafford’s relentless effort on the defensive end was bad news for the Orlando Magic. Moritz Wagner does his best to shake Gafford, but Gafford sticks to Wagner beginning behind the three-point arc and follows his drive into the paint before answering Wagner’s behind-the-back move with an authoritative block at the rim. Gafford converted 6 of his 8 field goals for 14 points while adding eight rebounds, two assists and some hard-nosed defense in the Washington Wizards’ 138-118 win on January 21, 2023.

Daniel Gafford

Believe it or not, sometimes it pays not to get back on defense faster than everyone else. Andre Drummond finds himself in the right place at the right time when DeMar DeRozan picks RJ Barrett’s pocket and leads the transition attack into a 2-on-1 advantage. DeRozan lofts an alley-oop to Drummond and the veteran center finishes with an authoritative slam. Drummond finished with six points and eight rebounds off the bench as his Chicago Bulls came away with a thrilling 118-117 win over the New York Knicks on December 23, 2022.

Andre Drummond

De’Anthony Melton was in a taking mood when the Los Angeles Lakers came to town. The Philadelphia 76ers guard has one of the best games of his career on both ends of the court, proving to be a steals and three-point magnet as the fifth-year pro lights up the Lakers with a steady barrage of both, and the 76ers would need every one of them in a tight 133-122 overtime victory on December 9, 2022. Melton scored a career-best 33 points on 11 of 16 from the field — including an 8 for 12 mark from downtown — and also mixed in four rebounds, two assists and seven steals, becoming the first player this season and second ever to make eight triples and come up with seven steals in the same game.

De'Anthony Melton

Isaiah Stewart took all of the frustration of a three-game losing streak out on the Charlotte Hornets — as well as the rim. Stewart oozes pure athleticism as the Detroit Pistons third-year center takes the ball behind the three-point arc and embarks on a strong dribble drive to the basket with his left hand before taking flight and scoring an impressive dunk between two Hornets defenders. Stewart was a major reason the Pistons got back in the win column, scoring 19 points on 8 of 10 shooting to go with 11 rebounds and two blocks in Detroit’s thrilling 141-134 overtime victory on December 14, 2022.

Isaiah Stewart

Myles Turner understands that whenever Tyrese Haliburton has the ball in his hands, an assisted bucket could be right around the corner. With Haliburton inbounding for the Indiana Pacers, Turner works hard to shake himself loose from the defense, catching the pass in the paint and going right up for a powerful slam against the Brooklyn Nets. Turner was one of four Pacers to score at least 20 points in the contest, converting 9 of 11 field goals for 23 points along with eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks in Indiana’s 128-117 triumph on November 25, 2022.

Myles Turner

The Eastern-Conference leading Boston Celtics are an even scarier team for opposing defenses to deal with when their bench is firing on all cylinders. Second-year reserve forward Sam Hauser shows the New York Knicks the consequences of paying too close of attention to Jayson Tatum, as Hauser doesn’t miss on an open three-pointer after Tatum spots him alone in the corner. Hauser was one of three Celtics players off the bench to hit double digits in scoring, connecting on 5 of 8 three-point attempts for 17 points, three rebounds and two assists in Boston’s 133-118 Big Apple victory on November 5, 2022.

Sam Hauser

The more comfortable Rudy Gobert gets in his new surroundings, the more dangerous the Minnesota Timberwolves become. Gobert looks every bit like a three-time All-Star against the LA Clippers, utilizing the pick-and-roll to perfection as D’Angelo Russell lofts an alley-oop that Gobert throws down with authority. The Clippers had no answer for slowing down Gobert, who torched them for 25 points on 11 of 15 shooting, 21 rebounds and two blocks in Minnesota’s 128-115 win on January 6, 2023.

Rudy Gobert

After losing the front end of an early home-and-home against the Houston Rockets, Talen Horton-Tucker ensured there would be no repeat occurrence. The Utah Jazz reserve guard goes to work after receiving a long outlet pass from Walker Kessler, driving head-on at Jalen Green before taking flight and converting an acrobatic up-and-under layup. Horton-Tucker helped the Jazz win for the fourth time in five games to open the 2022-23 season, posting 14 points, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in the 109-101 victory on October 26, 2022.

Talen Horton-Tucker

If you’re searching for silky-smooth finesse in 7-foot form, look no further. Jonas Valančiūnas shows that nimbleness comes in big packages as he works his magic in the low block, narrowly avoiding a Myles Turner steal before turning himself back around with a slick behind-the-back dribble and soft-touch layup. The veteran center stepped up for a Pelicans squad missing several key contributors, posting 20 points, 12 rebounds and five assists in his squad’s 113-93 victory over the Indiana Pacers on December 26, 2022.

Jonas Valančiūnas

Good luck stopping a 7-footer with these kinds of hops. Ivica Zubac puts his incredible athleticism on display against the Brooklyn Nets, as the LA Clippers center bides his time until a teammate can find him with some open space to maneuver. When Paul George hits Zubac with a bounce pass, the big man takes flight and scores an impressive one-handed throwdown over Joe Harris that starts far from the basket. The seventh-year pro was a thorn in the Nets side, contributing 19 points, 12 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in his squad’s 124-116 road win on February 6, 2023.

Ivica Zubac

Jaden McDaniels announced his arrival with authority to begin the 2022-23 campaign. In the Minnesota Timberwolves’ first game of the season, the third-year forward has a special delivery for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the form of a thunderous one-handed throwdown despite being flanked by a pair of defenders. The athletic jam was part of a big night for McDaniels, who tallied 19 points, six rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks in Minnesota’s 115-108 win on October 19, 2022.

Jaden McDaniels

The key to a lengthy career as a reserve is always being ready when your number is called. With Joel Embiid unavailable for the Philadelphia 76ers, Montrezl Harrell meets the moment when he steps in front of Indiana Pacers rookie Bennedict Mathurin for a monster rejection off the glass. The clutch block preserved a three-point Philly lead in overtime, and Harrell’s 19 points on 8 of 9 shooting along with five rebounds and four blocks helped the Sixers claim a thrilling 129-126 victory on January 4, 2023.

If you’re only going to take one shot then it might as well be a buzzworthy throwdown. Jeff Green gets some help from teammate Jamal Murray, who pumps and spins his way around a Portland Trail Blazers defender while drawing the rest of the defense in before dropping off a dime that Green hammers home with a thunderous slam. Green’s two points and two rebounds in 16 minutes off the bench were important components of the 120-107 Denver Nuggets victory on December 23, 2022.
