There were just three games on the NBA slate for Thursday, December 6. Below is a look at the five players with the biggest contributions for their teams in those games.
Derrick Favors - Utah Jazz
Give it up for Favors, as he not only turned in one of the best performances of the evening, but he came off the bench to do so. Favors finished with 24 points and 10 rebounds in a Jazz win over the Rockets.
