Andre Drummond (Detroit C)- Tallied a season-high 26 points and 20 rebounds in a 104-88 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Drummond has put up five double-doubles in his last six games, and is a lone bright spot in an otherwise struggling Pistons' team.

Joakim Noah (Chicago C)- Stuffed the stat sheet Friday with 15 points, 14 rebounds, six assists and six blocks in a 109-102 win over the Boston Celtics. Noah continues to be one of the best passing big men in the game, and is an invaluable member of the Bulls' team.

Mike Conley (Memphis PG)- Was one assist shy of a triple-double Friday, finishing with 21 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists in a 112-99 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Conley's run as one of the league's most underrated point guards continues, as he has helped Memphis post a 14-2 record, which is good for tops in the NBA.

Jeremy Lin (Los Angeles PG)- Posted a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds in a 120-119 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Lin shot 8 of 15 from the field, and recored four steals in the tough loss.

Who Was Not

Austin Rivers (New Orleans PG/SG)- Failed to hit a shot, going 0-8 from the field in 100-91 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. It was Rivers' first start of the season, and a forgetful one to say the least.

DeMar DeRozan (Toronto SG/SF)- Missed all eight shots he took on Friday in a 106-102 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. DeRozan also injured his groin in the third quarter, and did not return to the game.

Play of the Night

Courtney Lee (Memphis SG)- Hit the game-winning layup at the buzzer to beat the Sacramento kings 111-110. With .3 seconds left, all hoped seemed lost for the Grizzlies, until Lee went around a pick and took the pass from Vince Carter laying it in to give Memphis the win at home.

Who Was Not

Philadelphia 76ers- Philadelphia gave another poor performance Thursday, losing 123-70 to the Dallas Mavericks. The 76ers fell behind 73-29 at halftime, and allowed Dallas to shoot 51% from the floor and 83% (30-36) from the foul line for the game.
