James Harden - Houston Rockets
It's becoming commonplace for the reigning NBA MVP to take over the top performance, whenever he plays. That was the case on Monday night as he dropped a season-high 57 points against the Memphis Grizzlies. It was his third game scoring 50 points or more for the season, and his 17th straight game with at least 30 points!

Anthony Davis - New Orleans Pelicans
Just as monstrous a performance as Harden's, was the one the Pelicans' Anthony Davis had. Davis scored 46 points and grabbed 16 rebounds in his team's victory at the Los Angeles Clippers.

Rudy Gobert - Utah Jazz
Speaking of monsters in the middle, how about Utah's Rudy Gobert? On Monday night, he achieved a new career-high with 22 defensive rebounds. He'd finish with a game-high 25 rebounds and 18 points in Utah's win over Detroit.
