Jaylen Brown - Boston Celtics
Jaylen Brown has become a huge boost for the Celtics off the bench lately. In Saturday's game, he was the second-leading scorer, with 23 points, including the fast break dunk below. Brown could make this team deep and dangerous come playoff time.

John Collins - Atlanta Hawks
The inside-outside game for Atlanta looks strong for the future, thanks to Young running the plays and John Collins in the paint. On Saturday, he scored 20 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and had six assists in the losing effort. He also had this chase-down block to prevent Morris' layup.
