Daily Recap- Dec. 28

Top Performances

Kyle Lowry (Toronto PG)- Recorded 30 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds in a 116-102 win over the Denver Nuggets. Lowry had another tremendous game, and has scored over 30 points in two of his last three games. His combination of scoring, assisting and rebounding is a rare sight among even the best point guards in the league, and the Raptors are first in the Eastern Conference as a result of his play.

Dirk Nowitzki (Dallas PF)- Scored 30 points on 8 of 13 shooting  in a 112-107 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Nowitzki tied his season high with 30 points, and hit all 12 of his foul shots. The German sharpshooter, as well as the rest of the Mavs seem to be meshing with point guard Rajon Rondo, as Dallas has won three out of five games since his arrival.

Wesley Matthews (Portland SG)- Hit six 3-pointers en-route to a 28-point performance in a 101-79 win against the New York Knicks. Matthews hit five of his six 3-pointers in the first half, as Portland built a 55-41 lead at the break. He has been strong over the past week, as he has scored over 20 points in his last three games.

Andre Drummond (Detroit C)- Grabbed 17 rebounds to go along with 16 points in a 103-80 win versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Drummond had a fantastic overall game, blocking five shots for the first time since Dec. 3 against Boston. After struggling to score early on in the season, he has scored in double-digits in 9 of his last 10 contests.
