There were just a handful of NBA games on the schedule for Tuesday, November 6. However, there were still at least five players who came through to help their teams get the W. Among Tuesday's NBA results winners were the Charlotte Hornets, Brooklyn Nets, Portland Trail Blazers, and Dallas Mavericks.
CJ McCollum - Portland Trail Blazers
With Damian Lillard contributing slightly less than usually, it was backcourt teammate McCollum who really stepped up. McCollum finished Tuesday night's game against Milwaukee with a 17-of-26 shooting performance, good for 40 points. The Portland guard also had six assists, five boards. and four steals, in a 118-104 victory.

Caris LeVert - Brooklyn Nets
It's not often that a Nets player hits the top five, but they've quietly amassed a 5-6 record in the Eastern Conference. Tuesday night saw Caris LeVert lead the way with a 26-point performance in Phoenix. LeVert also grabbed five boards, and then had an assist, block, and steal to complete his stat line. The Nets won 104-82 and are almost .500 now.

Luka Doncic - Dallas Mavericks
While Trae Young has been doing his thing in Atlanta, fellow rookie Luka Doncic may emerge as a ROY candidate this season. The Mavericks were able to defeat the Wizards, 119-100, on Tuesday night, behind several great performances. Among them was Doncic's team-higher 23 points on 9-of-16 shooting, along with six boards, three assists, and a steal.

Harrison Barnes - Dallas Mavericks
Joining his teammate on the top five for Tuesday night is Harrison Barnes. The Mavs' small forward had a double-double of 19 points and 13 boards to go with two steals and three assists. It helped Dallas improve to 3-7 on the season and seems to bode well for the future based on the talent this roster has to offer.
Harrison Barnes was the leading #NBAFantasy scorer for the @dallasmavs and had a strong double-double!
