The Big Picture:
Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Philadelphia 76ers: A nail-biting finish! Jaylon Tyson's smooth moves and a last-second assist to Evan Mobley sealed the deal for Cleveland, leaving Philly disappointed despite Joel Embiid's impressive 33-point performance.
Indiana Pacers vs. New Orleans Pelicans: Jay Huff's career night! He dropped a whopping 29 points, leading the Pacers to victory. Zion Williamson kept it close with 27 points of his own, but it wasn't enough.
But here's where it gets controversial...
Michael Porter Jr. vs. Chicago Bulls: Porter Jr. has been on fire, scoring 27+ points in 6 out of his last 8 games. Will he continue his hot streak against the Bulls?

And this is the part most people miss...
Matas Buzelis: This guy is a defensive beast! He's in the top percentile for transition frequency and efficiency, making him a key player in the Bulls' tempo-enabling strategy.
Nae'Qwan Tomlin vs. Joel Embiid: Tomlin's got Embiid's number! He's done it again, and the Cavaliers are loving it.
