There may have only been five games on the NBA schedule on Friday night (February 1), but that doesn't mean there weren't some great performances. Winning teams included the OKC Thunder, Boston Celtics, and Denver Nuggets. Below are five stars who helped their teams pick up the victories.
Paul George - Oklahoma City Thunder
PG13 keeps doing his thing and the Thunder keep winning. On Friday night, it was 43 points in a 118-102 win at Miami. George hit 10 three-pointers and also had seven rebounds with five assists in the victory.

Nikola Jokic - Denver Nuggets
Just like George, Jokic is among the Western Conference All-Stars. Some fans feel both players are worthy of MVP considerations. On Friday night, Jokic achieved a double-double with 31 points, 13 rebounds, and nine assists, in the 136-122 win over the Rockets.
Nikola Jokic put up numbers as the @nuggets won big over the Rockets tonight! 💪
