The NBA was back in action for a slate of games on Tuesday (January 29). Among the winning teams were the Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs, and Philadelphia 76ers. Below are five of the players who gave standout performances for the winning squads.

1

Russell Westbrook - Oklahoma City Thunder

Westbrook is known for his ability to get the triple-double and he did that once again on Tuesday night. The former NBA MVP scored 23 points, collected 14 rebounds, and gave out 14 assists to teammates. In the end, Oklahoma City defeated the Orlando Magic, 126-117.

2

LaMarcus Aldridge - San Antonio Spurs

The Spurs got a powerful double-double on Tuesday, courtesy of LaMarcus Aldridge. The big man scored 29 points to go with 14 rebounds and four assists. His teammate, Rudy Gay, completed the win over Phoenix with a game-winning shot at the buzzer.

3

Joel Embiid - Philadelphia 76ers

On Tuesday night, Sixers big man Joel Embiid was part of a duel involving the Los Angeles Lakers' Brandon Ingram. Embiid got the best of that duel, finishing with 28 points, 11 rebounds, and six assists in a win for his team.

4

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Milwaukee Bucks

Greek Freak was just two rebounds shy of another triple-double for his career. However, he's probably more than happy with a double-double of 21 points and 11 assists, along with eight boards, in a win over Detroit.

5

D'Angelo Russell - Brooklyn Nets

When the season started, people may not have been giving much credit to the Brooklyn Nets. They're starting to pay more attention now and D'Angelo Russell has been a big part of it. The team has won 11 of their 14 games this month, including last night's against the Bulls. Russell had 30 points and seven assists in the win. An All-Star spot may be on the way.
