Originally released in 2022, these Packs feature a mix of 5 Common, Rare, and Legendary Moments from Series 4.

Most players spend an entire career never hitting the 50-point threshold. Devin Booker got there in three quarters. In yet another display of unfathomable scoring ability, the Phoenix Suns superstar absolutely torches the Chicago Bulls in every possible way — on dribble drive layups and pull-up jumpers, stepback and spot-up three-pointers, post-up fadeaways and a steal that becomes a coast-to-coast throwdown, just to name a few. When the third quarter was finished, Booker had accumulated 51 points on 20-of-25 from the field and 6-for-7 from downtown, pairing that with four rebounds, six assists and a steal in 31 minutes in Phoenix’s 132-113 runaway victory on November 30, 2022. 

Devin Booker

With the game deadlocked in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter, there was little doubt who would be taking the final shot for the Washington Wizards. Bradley Beal is that guy for the Wizards, as the three-time All-Star drives straight into the teeth of the Chicago Bulls defense and is able to connect on a difficult game-winner off the glass despite being hounded by two defenders in the post. Beal’s heroics — along with his 19 points, eight assists and two blocks — propelled the Wizards to a 2-0 start following the 102-100 thriller on October 21, 2022. 

Bradley Beal

Jalen Suggs called game. The Orlando Magic second-year guard flexes his clutch muscle against the Chicago Bulls, as the fifth-overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft races up the court with purpose in the closing seconds and his team down by two. Just as a drive to the basket feels inevitable, Suggs recovers by spinning back behind the arc and nailing the game-winning stepback triple from the right wing with under five seconds to play. Suggs’ 20 points, five rebounds and eight assists were the catalyst in the 108-107 victory on November 18, 2022. 

Jalen Suggs

First deny, then let it fly. Anthony Edwards makes magic happen at both ends for the Minnesota Timberwolves, first recording an unforgiving block on the Miami Heat’s Max Strus before quickly finding the ball back in his hands while leading the transition attack. The first-overall selection of the 2020 NBA Draft again comes face-to-face with Strus, breaking him down off the dribble atop the key before launching a shifty stepback triple that’s all net. Edwards posted 22 points, seven rebounds, four assists, four steals and four three-pointers in his squad’s 105-101 victory on November 21, 2022.

Anthony Edwards

Superstars shine brighter on Christmas Day. In a blockbuster matchup with the New York Knicks, Boston Celtics big Kevin Garnett shuffles into the paint and calls for a pass from teammate Ray Allen. Catching the ball in mid-air, Garnett acts decisively dishing a behind-the-back dime to Jermaine O’Neal at the rim. Garnett had 15 points and eight boards on December 25, 2011.

Kevin Garnett

The first six minutes of Jalen Williams’ career turned out to be pretty perfect. After the Oklahoma City Thunder made him the 12th pick in the draft, Williams rewards their faith, passing up a three-point attempt to instead take a run right at Karl-Anthony Towns. Williams puts the ball on the floor with his left hand, driving hard toward the basket and getting the best of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ three-time All-Star with a baseline floater. Williams made both of his field-goal attempts and added an assist during his October 19, 2022 professional debut.

Jalen Williams

It took all of one game for Jabari Smith Jr. to make an immediate impact with the Houston Rockets. A few months after Houston made him the third pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, the 6-foot-11 rookie rewards his team’s faith in him by showcasing his deft shooting touch from long range. Against the Atlanta Hawks in his first professional game, Smith Jr. crosses halfcourt, takes a pass from a teammate and without hesitation rises up from way behind the arc to drain one of his three triples. The Rockets may have lost the game, but they left Atlanta feeling confident about the future after Smith Jr. posted 17 points and seven rebounds on October 19, 2022.

Jabari Smith Jr.

A double-double in your NBA debut? Not too shabby for Utah Jazz rookie Walker Kessler, who came to play in his first career game against the Denver Nuggets. The 7-footer runs the floor with teammate Collin Sexton, who drops off a pass at the foul line and leaves Kessler face-to-face with two-time reigning MVP Nikola Jokić. Kessler shows no fear, taking one dribble before pivoting his way around the Joker for a hard-earned layup. The 22nd-overall pick made all five of his field-goal attempts for 12 points while adding 10 rebounds, an assist and a steal, helping Utah prevail 123-102 on October 19, 2022. 

Walker Kessler

From second-round pick to immediate rotation contributor — not too shabby for Andrew Nembhard. The first pick of the 2022 NBA Draft’s second round showcases his unselfish playmaking ability against the San Antonio Spurs, driving just inside the three-point arc before flicking a beauty of an alley-oop pass to fellow reserve Isaiah Jackson for the throwdown. Nembhard logged 30 minutes of action in his NBA debut, contributing 14 points, three rebounds, three assists and two steals in the October 21, 2022 contest.

Andrew Nembhard

Second time's the charm. Seeking the first points of his NBA career, Nikola Jović couldn’t believe his good fortune when he found himself wide open under the basket. The Miami Heat puts up a shot attempt then recovers an offensive board in time to convert the putback opportunity. It was the only basket of the night for the 27th-overall pick in the draft, who finished with two points, two rebounds and a steal in 14 minutes of action in Miami’s 119-98 road victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on October 26, 2022.

Nikola Jović

Steph Curry’s shooting and scoring abilities get their just praise — but how about some love for the way the Golden State Warriors star gets his buckets? Granted an opportunity to strike from the corner, Curry sets his sight on the rim, splitting two defenders with a smooth behind-the-back maneuver, then finishes at the cup with a layup. The four-time champion scores two of his game-high 24 points on the play while also chipping in six rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and five triples in his squad’s 111-101 win on November 18, 2022.

Steph Curry

A healthy Anthony Davis is double trouble for the opposition. Playing in his first game since an injury forced him to shut it down early a season ago, Davis proves just how scary he can be against the defending champion Golden State Warriors. First, the eight-time All-Star deposits a difficult floater off an inbound pass, then uses all of his lengthy 6-foot-10 frame to pick off a lazy Steph Curry pass on the ensuing trip up the floor. Davis then beats everyone in a race to the hoop, dropping in a layup while absorbing contact for an and-one opportunity. The Warriors won the game, but Los Angeles Lakers fans have to be feeling good about Davis’ 27-point, six-rebound, four-steal effort on October 18, 2022.

Anthony Davis

On a nightly basis, Nikola Jokić makes the difficult look routine. The two-time reigning MVP has something special planned for the Houston Rockets, catching the ball in the post before burying a turnaround baseline jumper in rhythm on just one foot. The four-time All-Star tormented the Rockets all night, scoring 32 points on 11-of-17 shooting — his third time hitting 30 points in the past four games — while also grabbing 12 rebounds and dishing out eight assists in the Denver Nuggets’ 129-113 victory on November 28, 2022.

Nikola Jokić

Trailing by three points with 1.3 seconds remaining in regulation, Matt Ryan was subbed into the game with one objective — tie the ballgame. Mission accomplished for the Los Angeles Lakers newcomer. Off a perfectly-executed inbound pass from Austin Reaves, the sharpshooting Ryan, in his Top Shot debut, has just enough time to set his feet and force overtime with a corner three-pointer directly in front of the Lakers’ bench. Ryan played a critical role for the Lakers in just his sixth career game, chipping in 11 points, two rebounds, an assist and three triples in a much-needed 120-117 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on November 2, 2022.

Matt Ryan

When you’re on the court with LeBron James as your teammate, it’s only a matter of time before opportunity knocks. Following a thunderous James rejection of Paul George, Austin Reaves scoops up the loose ball and motors the other way in transition before lobbing a flawless alley-oop pass to Lonnie Walker IV, who finishes the slam to get the home crowd on its feet. Reaves had an effective 22-minute run off the bench, posting four points, four rebounds and two assists in the Los Angeles Lakers’ intra-city rivalry game against the LA Clippers on October 20, 2022.

Austin Reaves

New season, same old Damian Lillard. The six-time All-Star is already in midseason form in the early stages of his 11th season with the Portland Trail Blazers, breaking the hearts of opposing teams thanks to his impeccably clutch shooting. Against the high-powered Phoenix Suns, Lillard does what he does best, using a dizzying array of dribbles as he hunts for his shot. Multiple defenders give chase to no avail, as Lillard unleashes a 20-footer with a high degree of difficulty that finds its home in the bottom of the net. It was the 41st time in Lillard’s career that he exploded for 40 or more in a game, extinguishing the Suns with 41 points, seven rebounds and three assists in Portland’s 113-111 overtime victory on October 21, 2022.

Damian Lillard

Tyrese Haliburton was a revelation in 26 games for the Indiana Pacers after a midseason acquisition in February 2022. To the delight of Pacers fans, the talented third-year point guard has picked up right where he left off to open the 2022-23 season. In Indiana’s first game against the Washington Wizards, Haliburton pushes the ball up the court and takes on all comers, using a yo-yo-dribble-hesi combination to fool the defense before clearing a path to the rim and throwing down a dunk. Haliburton scored a game-high 26 points to go with four rebounds and seven assists on October 19, 2022.

Tyrese Haliburton

Fresh off achieving a national championship in college, Christian Braun has brought an unselfish, winning style of basketball with him to the Denver Nuggets. Against the Utah Jazz, the rookie shows he’s willing to do whatever it takes to secure a victory, fearlessly stepping in front of Malik Beasley to turn a wide-open dunk into a ferocious rejection. Braun continued to make an impact off the Nuggets bench, chipping in 10 points, six rebounds, an assist and a block in Denver’s 117-101 triumph on October 28, 2022.

Christian Braun

Jaylen Brown welcomed Donovan Mitchell to the Eastern Conference the best way he knows how — by putting him on a poster. Playing in just his fifth game with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Mitchell receives a rude awakening courtesy of the Boston Celtics’ 2021 All-Star. When Brown picks off a Mitchell bounce pass, he and teammate Marcus Smart motor the other way on a 2-on-1 advantage. Brown collects a bounce pass and then takes flight, slamming an angry one-handed dunk on top of his helpless opponent. Brown put together a solid performance of 32 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two steals on October 28, 2022.

Jaylen Brown

Charging straight into the lane against three San Antonio Spurs defenders is not for the faint of heart — but it is for Zion Williamson. The New Orleans Pelicans All-Star forward scoops up a bounce pass on the elbow and makes his move, putting the ball on the floor and muscling his way to a layup despite spinning his way into a traffic jam underneath the basket. Williamson poured in a season-high 32 points on 14-of-18 from the field to go along with 11 rebounds and two steals in his squad’s 129-110 win on November 23, 2022.

Zion Williamson

Having hit a new scoring gear to start the 2022-23 season, it’s safe to say that Myles Turner’s offensive game has evolved - just ask the Minnesota Timberwolves. After confidently pump faking two defenders beyond the arc, Turner motors toward the basket and throws down an absolutely thunderous jam over a helpless Jaden McDaniels. Turner’s ground-shaking dunk contributed to his excellent night, posting 31 points, seven rebounds, two assists, four steals and seven three-pointers for the feisty Pacers on November 23, 2022.

Myles Turner

One year after his breakout campaign, Jordan Poole continues to evolve offensively. Pressed into starting duty for a resting Klay Thompson, the fourth-year guard keeps the Golden State Warriors offense humming with a strong drive into the paint before dropping off a beauty of a behind-the-back no-look pass to a cutting Jonathan Kuminga. Poole’s 21 points, two rebounds, five assists and five three-pointers helped deliver the Warriors a 120-101 win over the Houston Rockets on December 3, 2022.

Jordan Poole

What could be better than recording your first career triple-double? A game-winning shot as the cherry on top. This fantasy turned into a reality for Royce O’Neale against the Portland Trail Blazers, going from inbound passer to hero as the Brooklyn Nets forward puts himself in the right place at the perfect time to tip in Kevin Durant’s missed jumper with under a second to play. The Nets needed every one of O’Neale’s 11 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists to knock off the Blazers 109-107 on November 17, 2022.

Royce O'Neale

Scottie Barnes’ ability to impact a game on multiple fronts is what won him the NBA Rookie of the Year award. In Year 2, it’s clear that this is still very much the case. Competing against the Detroit Pistons, Barnes takes a pass in stride while driving into the lane, then drops off a slick one-handed bounce pass while airborne to a cutting Dalano Banton. Barnes’ eight points, five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block made a major impact in Toronto’s 115-111 victory on November 14, 2022.

Scottie Barnes

When better to display your gifts than Christmas Day? In a December 25, 2015 matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Chicago Bulls star Jimmy Butler catches the ball just past halfcourt and pulls up for a deep triple before defender Kevin Durant can get within reach. Butler had a team-high 23 points to go with six boards in the win.

Jimmy Butler

The holidays are for giving, but don’t tell that to Kawhi Leonard. Here, the San Antonio Spurs forward sneaks into a passing lane, corrals a steal and speeds down the floor for a fastbreak slam. Leonard contributed 20 points, eight rebounds, four assists, five steals and three blocks against the Houston Rockets on December 25, 2015.

Kawhi Leonard

Almost a quarter of the way into the 2022-23 season, one thing has become clear — if Jericho Sims is on the court, he’s probably going to dunk on you. The New York Knicks’ reserve center continues to be his squad’s resident alley-oop recipient, this time against the Utah Jazz as he gets teed up for a perfectly-executed lob from Immanuel Quickley. The second-year big man was strong in 25 productive minutes, making 5-of-7 field-goal attempts for 11 points, while adding 13 rebounds, two assists and a steal in the Knicks’ 118-111 road win on November 15, 2022.

Jericho Sims

Now that’s how you announce your presence to the rest of the league. A year after averaging just three points per game in less than eight minutes a night, Nick Richards has burst on to the scene for the Charlotte Hornets in the early stages of the 2022-23 season. After erupting for 19 points and 10 rebounds in the season opener, the reserve center one-ups himself against the Atlanta Hawks. Executing a flawless pick-and-roll with fellow reserve James Bouknight, Richards takes a bounce pass from his teammate and rises up for an emphatic one-handed slam. It was a perfect game for Richards, who made all nine of his field goal attempts in a 20-point, 11-rebound, two-block effort in 20 efficient minutes in Charlotte’s 126-109 win on October 23, 2022.

Nick Richards

New season, same results for Andrew Wiggins and the Golden State Warriors. Fresh off a transformative title run a season ago, Wiggins and company are back to defend the crown. Against an overmatched Sacramento Kings squad, the 2022 All-Star shows last year’s postseason run was no fluke, stepping into a passing lane and picking off a lazy pass. Wiggins is off to the races from there, finishing the fast break with a slam en route 24 points, five rebounds, three steals and two blocks in Golden State’s 130-125 victory on October 23, 2022.

Andrew Wiggins

At this point, stopping DeMar DeRozan is borderline impossible — at best, you hope to contain him. The Boston Celtics, in this case, struggle to do either as the Chicago Bulls’ scoring machine plays one-on-five, getting himself to the basket with a dizzying array of dribbles, spins and crosses before finishing strong with a tough reverse layup. Boston ultimately got the win, but not before DeRozan torched the Celtics for a season-high 46 points on 13-for-23 from the field and 20-of-22 from the line to go with his three rebounds, five assists and two steals on November 4, 2022. 

DeMar DeRozan

In just his second game back from an injury that caused him to miss all but nine games a year ago, Michael Porter Jr. has opened the 2022-23 season looking very much like his old self. Drawing one of the game’s toughest defensive assignments in Steph Curry, Porter Jr. doesn’t flinch, staying in lockstep with the four-time champion and two-time MVP on his path to the basket, swatting Curry’s shot with authority. Porter Jr. brought it on the offensive end too, contributing 17 points and six rebounds in the Denver Nuggets’ 128-123 road win at the defending champion Golden State Warriors on October 21, 2022.

Michael Porter Jr.

Even when you send a double team Trae Young’s way, he still finds ways to beat you. When two Detroit Pistons converge behind the arc to prevent him from bombing a triple, the two-time All-Star does the next best thing and whips a no-look pass into the post to Clint Capela, who converts the layup attempt while drawing a foul. Young’s elite ability to make any shot or pass makes him nearly impossible to defend, as his 36 points, two rebounds, 12 assists and four triples were enough to sink the Pistons 136-112 on October 28, 2022.

Trae Young

Tyler Herro played 175 regular season games over his first three seasons without recording a triple-double. It took him but a dozen in Year 4 to finally check the milestone off his list. The Atlanta Hawks had no answers for the Miami Heat guard, who shows off his connection with teammate Bam Adebayo as he drives straight into the paint before lofting a high-arcing alley-oop pass that gets slammed home with authority. Herro recorded 11 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, helping the Heat to a 106-98 victory on November 27, 2022.

Tyler Herro

As the LA Clippers were quick to discover, fancy footwork in the frontcourt is no fun to defend. Now in his second season, Houston Rockets center Alperen Şengün continues to impress — after setting a screen for a teammate, the 6-foot-11 Turkish big man collapses toward the basket and catches a pass in the paint before pivoting around his defender with a nimble spin move. The subsequent layup was good for two of Şengün’s team-high 26 points, and he also chipped in 13 rebounds, two assists and a steal in the November 2, 2022 Western Conference showdown.

Alperen Şengün

It’s a holiday — why not throw a block party? New Orleans Pelicans star-in-the-making Anthony Davis meets Chris Bosh at the rim to reject the future Hall of Famer with a one-handed swat. Davis went off in the Christmas Day fixture with a team high 29 points and 15 rebounds on December 25, 2015.

The Utah Jazz didn’t learn their lesson the first time they tried to trespass in Deandre Ayton’s paint, so he was more than willing to remind them again. Mike Conley gains access to the lane with a pretty crossover move but fails to account for the Phoenix Suns’ center, who viciously denies the attempt. When the deflection falls into Conley’s hands again, he decides to give it another shot and is promptly denied. The Suns lost a heartbreaker, but Ayton pulled his weight with 17 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists and three blocks on November 18, 2022.

Deandre Ayton

Give me that! Brook Lopez has no time for Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green’s drive to the hoop, literally ripping the ball out of Green’s hands in his attempt to score and needing only one arm to do so. It was a block party for the Milwaukee Bucks’ 15-year veteran, who swatted five shots in the October 22, 2022 contest. The seven-footer did a little bit of everything for the Bucks — in addition to the five blocks, Lopez scored nine points, grabbed five rebounds, dished out two assists, grabbed two steals and sank a trio of three-pointers in Milwaukee’s runaway 125-105 victory.

Brook Lopez

There’s efficiency… and then there’s Grant Williams. As his Boston Celtics opened the 2022-23 campaign defending their Eastern Conference crown, Williams brought with him some of last season’s magic. Coming off the bench against the rival Philadelphia 76ers, Williams refused to miss, pump faking Shake Milton out of his sneakers while sinking a corner three-pointer. Williams made all five of his field goal attempts — including three triples — along with a rebound and assist in Boston’s 126-117 victory on October 18, 2022.

Grant Williams

For the 20th time in his decorated career, Paul George did something most NBA players won’t sniff even once — score 40 points in a game. Against the Sacramento Kings, the seven-time All-Star enters total domination mode, taking a pass atop the key before stepping on the accelerator and hitting the defense with an unguardable spin move en route to two of his 40. The LA Clippers needed every one of them to get past the pesky Kings, as George’s 40 points, six rebounds, six assists and two steals were the difference in the 111-109 road win on October 22, 2022. The output made George the 14th active player to score 40 or more in a game at least 20 times.

Paul George

Just in case anybody forgot, there isn’t a shot on the court that Fred VanVleet can’t make. After missing the Toronto Raptors’ previous three games with an injury, the 2022 first-time All-Star issues a harsh reminder to the Chicago Bulls at how deadly his stroke is when he’s feeling it. The seventh-year point guard shakes off suffocating defensive pressure from Chicago’s Ayo Dosunmu, as VanVleet dribbles behind his back before absorbing contact and somehow getting an off-balance jumper to fall. VanVleet was at his very best, producing season-highs of 30 points and 11 assists to go with five rebounds and three-pointers apiece in Toronto’s 113-104 victory on November 6, 2022.

Fred VanVleet

It’s safe to say that Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is enjoying his new surroundings in the Mile High City. It’s not difficult to understand why, given Caldwell-Pope is now playing with the Denver Nuggets and two-time MVP Nikola Jokić. Against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Jokić is confronted by a double team, forcing the gifted distributor to sling a cross-court bounce pass to Caldwell-Pope in the corner for a triple that would turn into a four-point play. The 10-year veteran was firing on all cylinders, posting 21 points, with six three-pointers, five rebounds and two assists in Denver’s 122-117 win on October 22, 2022.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

If you didn’t know Dalano Banton’s name before, you sure do now. With his shorthanded Toronto Raptors missing three key players against the Detroit Pistons, Banton took the opportunity to introduce himself. The second-year guard was a star on both ends, first creating a steal when he picks rookie Jaden Ivey’s pocket and then capping off the possessions with an emphatic slam on the other end. Banton exploded for a career-high 27 points while also chipping in four rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks in Toronto’s gritty 115-111 triumph on November 14, 2022.

Dalano Banton

On a night when his Cleveland Cavaliers shot better than 60 percent from the field, Darius Garland was happy to play the role of facilitator. He looks good doing so too, deftly spinning his way around a Philadelphia 76ers defender while catching a pass, then whipping a one-handed laser pass through traffic to a wide-open Dean Wade underneath the basket. Garland deposited 21 points while also adding two rebounds and nine assists in Cleveland’s 113-85 win on November 30, 2022.

Darius Garland

Now in his fourth season, Keldon Johnson has blossomed from a very good player into the face of the San Antonio Spurs’ offensive attack. Following a timely dish from teammate Josh Richardson, Johnson takes care of the rest, pump faking a defender out of his shoes before lining up and draining a wide-open corner three-pointer. Johnson scored a team-high 33 points to go with three rebounds, four assists, two steals and six triples in a 129-124 triumph over the Chicago Bulls on October 28, 2022.

Keldon Johnson

When he’s feeling it from long range, Kevin Love is one of the most feared bench weapons in the NBA. The New York Knicks found that out the hard way, as the five-time All-Star takes a pass on the wing from Donovan Mitchell and buries a contested triple while drawing a foul. Love had a fourth quarter for the ages, connecting on five three-pointers and scoring 16 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers sank the visiting Knicks by out-scoring them by 22 points in the period. All told, Love scored 29 points in just 22 minutes on 8-for-13 from long range while adding eight rebounds in the 121-108 triumph on October 30, 2022.

Kevin Love

Playing without two of their top scorers, the New Orleans Pelicans needed to play flawless basketball to beat the Dallas Mavericks. Trey Murphy III took the challenge literally. Pressed into starting duty, the second-year guard stepped up in a big way, taking a pass in the corner before making his move toward the basket and throwing down a ferocious slam. Murphy III made all eight of his field-goal attempts — including four triples — as well as both free throws en route to 22 points and five rebounds in his squad’s exciting 113-111 win on October 25, 2022.

Trey Murphy III

As long as it goes in it doesn’t matter how you got there. Locked in a tight battle against the Memphis Grizzlies, Marcus Smart drives into the lane before coming head-to-head with Santi Aldama. Smart absorbs a body blow that sends him toppling to the hardwood and on the way down flicks up a desperation shot that somehow finds the bottom of the net. The underrated Boston Celtics point guard produced a solid all-around game with 15 points, seven rebounds and 12 assists in his team’s hard-fought 109-106 victory on November 7, 2022.

Marcus Smart

Talk about making a first impression. In the first start of his NBA career, Santi Aldama instantly rewards the Memphis Grizzlies’ faith in his ability to fill in for the injured Jaren Jackson Jr. After showing isolated flashes as a rookie, the 21-year-old from Spain has clearly elevated his game in Year 2, putting himself in the perfect spot when a triple team envelops teammate Steven Adams. Aldama makes the New York Knicks pay for leaving him open, finishing the play with a one-handed slam, two of his 18 points to go with a career-high 11 rebounds in Memphis’ 115-112 overtime win on October 19, 2022.

Quick reflexes and spatial awareness go a long way on defense. Herbert Jones continues to make a major impact for the New Orleans Pelicans, first picking Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s pocket, then deftly avoiding the oldest trick in the book while Gilgeous-Alexander attempts to knock the ball off of him as he falls out of bounds. The second-year forward says not so fast, thwarting the guard’s attempt with sure hands, allowing the Pelicans to keep the ball in their possession. Jones brought energy on both ends, tallying 12 points, three rebounds, three assists, four steals and three blocks in his team’s 105-101 victory on November 28, 2022.

Herbert Jones

Like father, like son. Kenyon Martin Jr. puts his athleticism on display against the Orlando Magic, exhibiting extreme hustle on the defensive end by racing the length of the court and recording a devastating chasedown block. The Houston Rockets forward helped his squad snap a six-game losing streak with a huge night off the bench, tallying 21 points, four rebounds, five assists, two blocks and four three-pointers in a much-needed 134-127 road triumph on November 7, 2022.

After a midseason trade brought him from the Phoenix Suns to the Indiana Pacers in Feb. 2022, Jalen Smith’s scoring average more than doubled, jumping from six per game to better than 13 in 22 games. With the 2022-23 season underway, Smith is here to say there’s plenty more where that came from. Detroit Pistons rookie Jaden Ivey receives a rude awakening when he attempts to put Smith on a poster, as the Pacers big man denies Ivey with a ferocious block at the rim. Smith produced a dominant performance — 19 points, 15 rebounds and three blocks to help Indiana win its first game of the season, a 124-115 triumph on October 22, 2022.

Jalen Smith

Bench players unafraid to take clutch shots can separate good teams from special ones, and Chris Boucher shows no fear against the Dallas Mavericks with the game on the line. With his team clinging to a one-point lead late in the fourth quarter, the sixth-year reserve forward helps the Toronto Raptors out in a big way by draining a tough fadeaway from the paint over Reggie Bullock. It was a dagger that kept the game out of reach, as Boucher’s 22-point, 13-rebound effort was crucial in Toronto’s 105-100 triumph on November 26, 2022.

Chris Boucher

It’s not often that Bol Bol gets put on a poster, but special things tend to happen when Jarrett Allen is on the floor. The Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star big man gets the ball in the paint, sheds a double-team with a world-class ball fake, and immediately goes hard at the rack over the Orlando Magic center. Allen’s 18 points and 16 rebounds were critical in allowing the Cavs to win for the third time in four games to open the season, a 103-92 home victory on October 26, 2022. 

Jarrett Allen

D’Angelo Russell has ice in his veins and an even colder handle. Down by two against the Utah Jazz with the fourth quarter clock ticking, the Minnesota Timberwolves guard takes matters into his own hands, putting the ball on the floor with his left hand before sending Mike Conley Jr. to the floor with a stop-and-pop, behind-the-back dribble. From there, all that’s left to do is force overtime, which Russell accomplishes with an open 14-footer with 4.4 seconds remaining. Russell racked up 23 points, five rebounds, seven assists and two steals in the October 21, 2022 overtime battle.

D'Angelo Russell

Fifteen-year veteran JJ Redick has made a career out of working off of screens and flying off-ball for open three-pointers. But, as he shows here with a buzzer-beater for the New Orleans Pelicans, off-balanced, sideways bank shots from halfcourt do the trick just as well. Redick’s accuracy was on point during a December 25, 2019 victory over the Denver Nuggets, where he chipped in 15 points.

JJ Redick

Even in Year 14, Wesley Matthews hasn’t lost his magic touch. The Milwaukee Bucks guard has always been a marksman from deep and has settled in as a dependable role player for a team with championship aspirations. Trailing by two with less than a minute remaining against the Philadelphia 76ers in Milwaukee’s 2022-23 opener, Matthews puts his clutch gene on display, burying a go-ahead triple with under 25 seconds remaining to silence the hostile Philly crowd. Matthews had eight points, five rebounds, two assists and a block in 20 minutes off the bench in the 90-88 win on October 20, 2022.

Wesley Matthews

It appears that Damion Lee brought his clutch championship form with him to the desert. In his first game with the Phoenix Suns after a four-year run with the Golden State Warriors, Lee makes Suns fans elated that he’s on their side. Tied in the final seconds of a fourth-quarter battle, Lee takes a pass from three-time All-Star Devin Booker and makes his move, driving with determination toward the basket and draining a difficult game-winning fall-away jumper with 9.7 seconds left. Lee scored 11 points off the bench — all in the fourth quarter — to go with two rebounds and two assists in helping the Suns erase a 22-point third-quarter deficit to stun the Dallas Mavericks 107-105 on October 19, 2022.

Damion Lee

Sometimes it pays to shoot first and ask questions later . Following a steal on the defensive end, the Brooklyn Nets push the counterattack against the Portland Trail Blazers. When Yuta Watanabe gets the ball in his hands, he hesitates for a moment before deciding to pull up from deep himself. The fifth-year forward and first-year Net connected on 5-of-7 field goals off the bench — all from behind the arc — for 20 points, seven rebounds and two assists in the November 17, 2022 victory.

Yuta Watanabe

A 7-foot-3 basketball unicorn with slick handles and long-range touch? Welcome to the 2022-23 season. After arriving in a trade the previous season, Kristaps Porziņģis played just 17 games with the Washington Wizards, showing that unique blend of talent that made him the fourth pick of the 2015 draft. Porziņģis is clearly having fun in his first full season in D.C., taking a pass well behind the three-point arc preparing to unleash his magic. The big man makes a Chicago Bulls defender look absolutely foolish, first with a pump fake, then with an ankle-breaking crossover and long-range triple. Porziņģis tallied 14 points, three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal in Washington’s 102-100 triumph on October 21, 2022.

Kristaps Porziņģis

After arriving via trade in Jan. 2022, a shoulder injury cut Cam Reddish’s run with the New York Knicks short after just 15 games. Now that he’s healthy again, the rest of the league better watch out. Against the Memphis Grizzlies in New York’s first game of the 2022-23 season, Reddish wastes little time reintroducing himself to the basketball world, drifting into the corner to catch a pass from Jalen Brunson and sinking a contested three-pointer with three seconds left in regulation to force overtime. Although the Knicks lost the game, the Big Apple was surely buzzing after Reddish put up 22 points, five rebounds, three steals and a block on 9-of-15 shooting off the bench in the October 19, 2022 battle.

Cam Reddish

Now on his fifth team in five seasons, Isaiah Hartenstein seems to be finding a home with the New York Knicks. Playing against the Boston Celtics, Hartenstein shows off his fundamentals, crashing the boards and turning a Jalen Brunson misfire into a one-handed put-back slam right on top of a helpless opponent. In a 38-minute run for Hartenstein, the big man made five of his six field goals for 10 points, while adding 14 rebounds, an assist and a block in the November 5, 2022 Atlantic Division showdown.

Isaiah Hartenstein

No inbound is a given when Jose Alvarado is on the prowl. The New Orleans Pelicans reserve guard is a bundle of energy whenever he’s on the court, not to mention waiting for the offense to make a mistake that he can capitalize on. Following a made free throw by Zion Williamson, the Houston Rockets throw the ball in while expecting to begin the next possession. But Alvarado has other ideas, picking Kevin Porter Jr.’s pocket, ending up with a steal and layup in the blink of an eye. Alvarado gave a huge lift to the second unit, converting 5-of-6 field-goal attempts for 12 points, two rebounds, five assists and three steals in 20 minutes amidst a 119-106 victory on November 12, 2022.

Jose Alvarado

No Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday or Khris Middleton for the Milwaukee Bucks? No problem for Jevon Carter.. The fifth-year guard known for his defensive prowess shows he can score the ball just as well against the Oklahoma City Thunder, pump faking a defender before putting the ball on the floor and going up strong against another challenger at the rim for a hard-earned layup. Carter doubled his previous season-high point total, erupting for a career-high 36 to go along with four rebounds, a career-best 12 assists and five three-pointers in Milwaukee’s marathon 136-132 double-overtime win on November 9, 2022.

Jevon Carter

It’s no secret that the Brooklyn Nets have plenty of star power but the true strength of any team with lofty expectations comes from its depth. Enter Royce O’Neale, who joined the Nets after spending his first five seasons as a role player with the Utah Jazz. Clinging to a one-point lead in the waning seconds of the fourth quarter, O’Neale takes a pass from Kyrie Irving on the wing and calmly buries a 25-foot dagger to sink the Toronto Raptors and deliver Brooklyn its first victory of the 2022-23 season. O’Neale scattered seven points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks in the 109-105 triumph on October 21, 2022.

It’s difficult to lose a basketball game when a guy on your team can’t miss. When his superstar teammate fails to convert a wide-open layup, Josh Green is there to provide a spark off the Dallas Mavericks’ bench. Following a rare point-blank miss from Luka Dončić, the Mavericks maintain possession thanks to a fortuitous deflection off the offensive glass. Aiming to take advantage of the second chance, Green breaks toward the basket and gets a perfect feed in stride from Maxi Kleber before throwing down a vicious two-handed slam. The third-year guard scored 16 points — on 5-for-5 from the field, 2-for-2 from behind the arc and 4-for-4 at the stripe — to pair with five rebounds and two assists in his squad’s 96-94 win over the Brooklyn Nets on November 7, 2022.

Josh Green

After playing 35 bruising minutes against the Los Angeles Lakers, Jerami Grant decided that he wasn’t interested in five more. Locked in a tie game on the road in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter, Grant shows no fear when confronted by LeBron James, aggressively driving straight at the Lakers’ star before getting the go-ahead bucket to fall with three seconds left. Grant’s clutch shot — as well as his 16 points, two rebounds and an assist — earned the Portland Trail Blazers their third straight win to open the season, a thrilling 106-104 victory on October 23, 2022.

Jerami Grant

A major reason for the Miami Heat’s successful run over the past two decades is its ability to find critical depth pieces to support the team’s stars. Caleb Martin is among the latest examples, as the fourth-year undrafted forward steps up in a big way against the Atlanta Hawks. Supporting the Heat without Jimmy Butler, Martin brings toughness and grit to the floor as he drifts over as a help defender to deny Onyeka Okongwu with a block from behind. Martin brought it on both ends, scoring 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting while adding nine rebounds, four assists and two steals in Miami’s 106-98 come-from-behind win on November 27, 2022.

Caleb Martin

At 6-foot-1, Patrick Beverley still seems to rise to any occasion. With the game down to its final play and the LA Clippers in need of a stop, Beverley steps up to a hefty challenge, coming up with a game-sealing block during a Christmas Day duel against the Los Angeles Lakers on December 25, 2019. Mr. 94 Feet provided the intangibles, with eight points, nine rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block in a 111-106 win.

Patrick Beverley

The 2022-23 Minnesota Timberwolves were designed to win by the strength of their star-laden starting lineup — which makes the continued progression of Jaylen Nowell a most welcome surprise. Playing with raised confidence against the San Antonio Spurs, Nowell takes a pass at the top of the key and immediately turns on the jets toward the basket before taking flight and throwing down a backboard-shaking slam. The fourth-year reserve guard made a tremendous impact, tallying 23 points, four rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes off the bench in Minnesota’s 134-122 victory on October 26, 2022.

Jaylen Nowell

The Miami Heat were playing without their top three scorers — but they still had Kyle Lowry on their side. With only seven healthy players against the Washington Wizards, the Heat needed their veteran point guard to empty the tank and he was happy to oblige. The six-time All-Star drives with determination into the lane, sidesteps a couple of defenders then rises up on the baseline to drain a 19-footer over the much taller Kristaps Porziņģis. Though they’d ultimately come up short, Lowry’s 24 points, 10 rebounds, 15 assists, two blocks and a steal kept the Heat in the fight on November 18, 2022.

Kyle Lowry

You know him as the defensive-minded center charged with the task of checking giants of the game on one end of the floor, but let Clint Capela gather steam on offense and he may surprise you. Pushing the counterattack after a Philadelphia 76ers turnover, John Collins finds an in-transition Capela in the right spot, and the 2021 NBA rebounding leader showcases some nimble footwork to beat the defense in stride on a Eurostep layup. Capela posted 18 points and 20 rebounds in 26 minutes of work as his Atlanta Hawks picked up an impressive 104-95 win on November 10, 2022. 

Clint Capela

A new year brings with it fresh opportunities to exorcize old demons. Goga Bitadze and the Indiana Pacers dropped their final 10 games of the preceding season, riding a months-long losing streak that stretched to 12 after falling in their first two games of the 2022-23 campaign. In one play, Bitadze says out with the old, in with the new as he’s set up with a perfect alley-oop from exciting rookie teammate Bennedict Mathurin, taking out his frustrations on the rim with an effortless one-handed slam against the Detroit Pistons. Bitadze had a monster performance with 14 points, 15 rebounds and four assists off the bench, helping Indiana earn that long-awaited 124-115 victory on October 22, 2022.

Goga Bitadze

The best way to gain the advantage against multiple defenders is by making a decisive move before they can react. Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns anticipates the double team, makes a quick dribble and drops off a slick over the head feed to his teammate for the easy two. Towns was dominant in Minnesota’s 121-104 winover the Los Angeles Lakers on December 25, 2017 with 21 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks.

Karl-Anthony Towns

When it comes to putting players in position to thrive, few teams do it better than the Miami Heat. What a find Max Strus has been, as the shooting guard has gone from undrafted free agent to a vital cog for a team with playoff aspirations. In the midst of a 20-point night on November 16, 2022, Strus shows he’s not afraid to get to the rack, racing up the court after a long inbound pass to catch the ball in stride and throw down a high-flying dunk.

Max Strus

Even in Year 15, Goran Dragić still has the magic to provide an instant offensive jolt. Now a spark plug off the bench for the Chicago Bulls, Dragić shows off his basketball IQ by catching the Charlotte Hornets’ defense napping. While preparing an inbound pass on the baseline, an observant Dragić notices Dennis Smith Jr. looking the other way, bounces the ball off his back and lays it off the glass for an easy deuce. The heads up play yielded two of Dragić’s 16 points — along with three rebounds, three assists and a block — in just 15 minutes as the Bulls prevailed 106-88 on November 2, 2022.

Goran Dragić

Eager to make an early-season impact on a slow-starting Orlando Magic squad, fifth-year center Mo Bamba takes matters into his own hands against the visiting Charlotte Hornets, using every inch of his 7-foot frame to throw down a monstrous dunk over Jalen McDaniels. It was an incredibly-efficient 17 minutes off the bench for Bamba, who made eight of his 12 shots for 19 points, along with six rebounds, an assist and three blocks in Orlando’s first win of the season on October 28, 2022.

Mo Bamba

Acquiring Kelly Olynyk right before the 2022-23 season began is already paying major dividends for the Utah Jazz. Trailing by one late in overtime in the team’s third game of the new campaign, Olynyk grabs the inbound pass and makes his move, dribbling with determination into the lane before unfurling a game-winning driving scoop shot with three seconds remaining to sink the New Orleans Pelicans. Olynyk’s 20-point, three-rebound, five-assist effort was instrumental in the thrilling 122-121 win on October 23, 2022, not to mention keeping the Jazz a perfect 3-0 to start the season.

Kelly Olynyk

Having a marksman like Seth Curry coming off your bench is practically unfair. The Brooklyn Nets guard shows off his family trade against the Portland Trail Blazers, coming around a screen and swishing a triple despite defender Anfernee Simons in his face. It was a classic night beyond the arc for Curry, who connected on 11-of-15 field goals – and 7-of-10 from downtown – for 29 points in 29 minutes of action in Brooklyn’s 111-97 victory on November 27, 2022.

Seth Curry

Talk about teamwork and athleticism in their finest forms. With the Washington Wizards missing their top two scorers in a home game against the Dallas Mavericks, Rui Hachimura was more than willing to step up in an all-hands-on-deck scenario. Teammate Kyle Kuzma gets the play started, gaining access to the paint with a dribble drive and spin move before he’s enveloped by three defenders. Ever the cool customer, Kuzma dumps off an opportune pass to Hachimura, who goes up, under and up again in order to get a reverse layup to fall. Hachimura produced a season-high 23 points along with eight rebounds off the bench for the shorthanded Wizards in the November 10, 2022 victory.

Rui Hachimura

The up-and-coming Sacramento Kings are playing exciting basketball again, and newcomer Malik Monk is right at the center of the fun. The sixth-year guard has served as a spark plug off the Kings’ bench, and it was easy to decipher why when the Cleveland Cavaliers came to town. Thanks to an unselfish, one-handed laser pass from teammate Domantas Sabonis, Monk finds himself in the perfect spot to pull off an athletic up-and-under reverse layup despite having two defenders right on top of him. Monk’s 14 points, two rebounds and five assists were a major catalyst in Sacramento’s 127-120 win on November 9, 2022.

Malik Monk

Sometimes overshadowed by a star-studded Philadelphia 76ers lineup, Tobias Harris continues to make plays to help his team win ball games. Buoyed by the return of a healthy Joel Embiid to the lineup, Harris’ contributions go a long way against the feisty Atlanta Hawks as the 12-year veteran rises up on a catch-and-shoot three-pointer that just barely beats the shot clock buzzer. Harris deposited 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as his clutch double-double helped Philly outlast the Hawks 104-101 on November 28, 2022.

Tobias Harris

Bang bang, Georges Niang! With his struggling Philadelphia 76ers off to a slow start to their season, the reserve forward does what he does best to aid his team’s quest for victory — bomb it from deep. The scorching Niang lit up the visiting Phoenix Suns for seven three-pointers in 10 tries, including this open spot up triple from the left wing that brought the home crowd to its feet. Niang’s 21 points in 27 minutes — along with four rebounds, an assist and two steals were vital in delivering the 76ers a much-needed 100-88 victory on November 7, 2022.

Georges Niang

Primarily a starter his final three seasons with the Denver Nuggets, Will Barton was a revelation off the bench in his first game with his new squad. Now a member of the Washington Wizards, the 11-year veteran wastes little time making a positive impression on his teammates. Following a steal on the defensive end, Barton leads the counterattack while surveying his options. Spotting Daniel Gafford sneaking into the paint, Barton threads the needle with an unselfish no-look dish and Gafford does the rest, putting a Pacers defender on a poster with an impressive one-handed slam. Barton debuted with 14 points, two rebounds and three assists in helping his team prevail 114-107 on October 19, 2022.

Will Barton

When Superman takes off, you’d better watch out! Dwight Howard shows off some of his best skills, working a pick-and-roll before powering up for an explosive two-handed jam. The eight-time All-Star chipped in 11 points, 15 rebounds and two blocks for the Orlando Magic in a season-opening Christmas Day matchup against the star-studded Oklahoma City Thunder on December 25, 2011.

Dwight Howard

What’s better than a hard-fought overtime win on the road? Doing it against the team that just traded you. After two full seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Jarred Vanderbilt didn’t have to wait long to exact his revenge — now a member of the Utah Jazz, Vanderbilt and his new squad were in Minnesota for the second game of the 2022-23 season. With Mike Conley Jr. pushing the tempo in transition, Vanderbilt bides his time, drifting all alone into the paint in the perfect spot to throw down an open slam off an unselfish dish from his veteran point guard. The final two points of the game were an exclamation point for Vanderbilt, who posted four points, 14 rebounds, four assists and four steals in the thrilling 132-126 win on October 21, 2022.

Jarred Vanderbilt

A good way to make a name for yourself is relentless effort on the defensive end against one of the league’s best players. Aleksej Pokusevski takes advantage of the opportunity, matching pace with Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant up the court before blocking his shot off the glass despite having his back turned on the play. The Oklahoma City Thunder big man made a lasting impact in an injury-shortened 14-minute performance, contributing 10 points on 4-for-4 shooting and three blocks on November 18, 2022.

Aleksej Pokusevski

With the defending champions in town, Dennis Smith Jr. made sure to bring his best. After a defensive gem on Steph Curry at the end of regulation forced overtime, the Charlotte Hornets point guard decided to play the role of hero on offense in the extra session. With his team holding a tight three-point lead, Smith Jr. collects a foul line jump ball and gets right to work, driving strong to the hole and flipping a high-arcing layup over the outstretched fingertips of Andrew Wiggins. The Hornets never looked back from there, and Smith Jr.’s 13 points, nine rebounds and eight assists were instrumental in the 120-113 win over the Golden State Warriors on October 29, 2022.

Dennis Smith Jr.

Following a solid inaugural campaign in which he was selected to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team, Chris Duarte is back for more in Year 2. Showing no fear against the star-powered Brooklyn Nets, Duarte takes an inbound pass at the far end of the court and races up the floor knowing full well that the third-quarter clock is draining fast. Despite having two defenders right in his path, the Indiana Pacers guard pulls up from 36 feet and calmly drains the pull-up jumper to beat the buzzer. The Nets won the game, but the Pacers are feeling good about Duarte’s future after a career-high 30-point effort on October 31, 2022.

Chris Duarte

With the second quarter clock ticking toward zero, Luka Dončić figured he would hold the ball for one final look before halftime. Darius Bazley had other ideas. The Oklahoma City Thunder’s fourth-year big man displays his fearlessness on the defensive end, refusing to back down on the Dallas star’s drive, authoritatively rejecting the dunk attempt. Bazley’s clean block, along with 15 points and eight rebounds off the bench, allowed the Thunder to prevail 117-111 in overtime on October 29, 2022.

Darius Bazley

With Zion Williamson absent, the New Orleans Pelicans needed someone to step up in a big way against the Memphis Grizzlies. Enter CJ McCollum, who made sure to deliver from inside and out. Up nine points with 90 seconds remaining, the 10-year veteran frees himself to get a touch before eurostepping into a dagger of a high-arcing floater that catches nothing but net. The 2016 Most Improved Player winner erupted for 30 points — including seven three-pointers — as well as three rebounds and nine assists in his squad’s 113-102 triumph on November 15, 2022.

CJ McCollum

When opportunity knocked, Shake Milton answered the door. With their backcourt decimated by injuries, the Philadelphia 76ers turned to Milton to deliver against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He did that and then some, handling the ball across halfcourt before breaking down D’Angelo Russell off the dribble and finishing with an athletic layup. The fifth-year reserve guard stepped up when pressed into starting duty, pouring in 27 points to go with six rebounds and two assists in the November 19, 2022 battle.

Shake Milton

Role players unafraid to deliver in the clutch are the difference between good teams and great ones. Norman Powell shows his squad that no moment is too big as the LA Clippers find themselves trailing by two in the guts of the game. After an in-transition Reggie Jackson finds Powell behind the arc, the eighth-year reserve forward shifts into attack mode, driving head on into the lane against the heart of the Cleveland Cavaliers defense and navigating all challengers. Powell draws the foul while converting the underhand layup, tying the game with 1:03 remaining. Powell’s 17 points and two steals were instrumental in the 119-117 victory on November 7, 2022.
