There were just three games on the slate for the NBA Tuesday. However, one of those games was an overtime thriller, with a huge performance from one star. Below is a look at which five NBA players stepped up big on Tuesday (October 23).
Blake Griffin - Detroit Pistons
Griffin easily had the performance of the night. The big man scored an NBA-high of 50 points for Tuesday, including the game-winning sequence in overtime. Griffin had 50 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, and a blocked shot in the victory.

Anthony Davis - New Orleans Pelicans
Right now, there's a short list of NBA MVP candidates, and Davis is right near or at the top. On Tuesday, his Pelicans won, 116-109, over the Los Angeles Clippers. Davis was the main factor again. The big man scored 34 points to go with 13 rebounds, two assists, a steal, and five blocks. Not bad at all!
