There were just three games on the NBA schedule for Tuesday (Nov. 13) but still some mighty performances. Winners for the evening included the Cleveland Cavaliers over the Charlotte Hornets, the Houston Rockets over the Denver Nuggets, and the Golden State Warriors over the Atlanta Hawks. Here are the top five player performances for the evening.
Kevin Durant - Golden State Warriors
After a night marred by drama and a loss one day prior, Durant stepped up as his team was without Steph Curry and Draymond Green. KD scored 29 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and had three assists in the Warriors' win over Atlanta.

Jordan Clarkson - Cleveland Cavaliers
It hasn't been often that Cavs players show up on the top five. However, a smaller group of games combined with a Cavs' win can do that. Clarkson came off the bench on Tuesday to score 24 points. He also collected five rebounds and dished out a few assists as the Cavs defeated Charlotte.
