NBA's top 5 player performances for January 15 games

Joel Embiid collected a nice double-double of 31 points and 13 rebounds. Simmons' double-double was 20 points and 11 rebounds, but he also had nine assists. Add in the fact he filled the stat sheet with three blocks and a steal in his team's dominant win Tuesday night.

Both Thompson and Curry went for 31 points each in the Warriors' 142-111 win over Denver. However, Thompson did it on 13-of-19 shooting, including a 5-of-8 three-point range. He also collected three rebounds, gave an assist, and stole the ball three teams in the win.

He was looking like the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year earlier this season until a guy named Luka Doncic took off. That said, Young still has a great future ahead of him in the league. On Tuesday, he had 24 points, 11 assists, and six rebounds in a 142-126 win against the visiting Thunder.

While LeBron James continues to heal, they find leadership where they can. Last year's No. 2 draft pick, Lonzo Ball, was the leader in their 107-100 win over Chicago. Ball finished with a team-high 19 points, eight rebounds, six assists, and two steals in the win.

It was what one might call a "mediocre" performance by Greek Freak standards, but a triple-double is nothing to sneeze at. Giannis recorded 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists to lead the Bucks to a 124-86 win over the Miami Heat.
