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.

Al Horford - Boston Celtics
Celtics All-Star Al Horford brought one of the best performances of the night. It was also his season-best. Horford scored 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting, grabbed 12 rebounds, had four blocks, and dished out three assists as Boston beat New York, 128-100.

Damian Lillard - Portland Trail Blazers
Lillard seemed to have been quiet for a while, but not on Thursday. The Blazers guard scored 25, dished out eight assists, and grabbed five rebounds to help his team defeat the Phoenix Suns.
