JAMAL MURRAY FORCES OT🍯🍯
A sweet layup from Murray knots Denver and Toronto at 114 points at the end of regulation. Murray has 17 points, eight rebounds and seven assists while Nikola Jokic has taken over offensively with 40 points (18-26 FG) as well as 10 rebounds and four assists as overtime is underway.

Paolo Banchero’s 50-point, 13-rebound, 9-assist performance in Orlando’s 119-115 victory over Indiana makes him just the ninth player in NBA history to record a 50-point game before turning 22 years old. He is the fourth player in Orlando’s history with 50-plus points in a game, joining Tracy McGrady (4x), Nick Anderson and Shaquille O’Neal.

Darius Garland boomed for 34 points (12-19 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT) as Cleveland holds a 108-102 lead in the final seconds versus the Knicks. Donovan Mitchell (21 points), Evan Mobley (17 points) and Jarrett Allen (15 points, 15 rebounds) have risen to the occasion as Cleveland’s Core 4 is on track to earn a quality win over the Knicks.

Desmond Bane’s 28 points (10-16 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) leads all scorers versus 19 points from Zach LaVine and 14 points from Coby White as Chicago trails Memphis by seven entering the fourth quarter. Chicago has rained in 46.2 percent of 39 three-point attempts as a team, catalyzed by Jalen Smith (16 points) off the bench.

Luka Doncic has been limited to seven points (2-12 FG), eight rebounds and four assists, with Irving and Thompson — 10 points apiece — stepping up as scorers for Dallas. Sexton leads all players with 11 points, although Utah trails 49-43.

Banchero has a career-high 49 points with Orlando up three at the two minute mark in the fourth quarter. His physicality has generated 20 free-throw attempts and is proving difficult for Indiana to match in the final minutes.

An 18-5 run fueled by Derrick White and Payton Pritchard have Boston up 90-82 entering the fourth quarter. Pritchard leads the team with 22 points (8-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt) while Jaylen Brown co-stars with 21 points.

Jalen Green has his fourth consecutive 20-point game to open the season as he ascends in the scoring column Monday, pouring in 24 points (8-10 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) as Houston leads San Antonio 62-45 at the half. Green has already posted two games this season with at least five made threes after logging 13 such contests across 82 appearances last year.

Paolo Banchero has climbed to 41 points (13-23 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 12-15 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists, one steal and two blocks as Orlando enters the fourth quarter trailing Indiana 98-93. The Pacers induced Banchero into committing his fourth foul late in the third quarter, but his monumental effort continues as Orlando’s three-point shooting (31.3% on 32 attempts) has gone cold.

Jordan Poole has racked up 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-6 3Pt) to represent the only Wizard exceeding eight points as Washington trails 61-54 at halftime in Atlanta. Poole entered Monday’s contest having hit 10 of his first 18 threes on the year.

Green gets the double screen out of horns action from the Rockets, and chooses the Steven Adams’ screen to explode to the hoop. Is Green a top-5 in-game dunker in the league?

Paolo Banchero is stuck at 37 points four minutes into the third quarter as Indiana has trimmed Orlando’s lead to seven. Pascal Siakam just forced Banchero’s third foul and is taxing him defensively. Myles Turner leads the Pacers in scoring with 13 points, followed closely by 12 from Tyrese Haliburton.

Pritchard is booming for 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt) in just under 14 minutes of action as Boston trails 50-46 in the second quarter versus Milwaukee. No other Celtic has exceeded eight points thus far.

Cade Cunningham tacked on two more points and has posted perfect 5-5 shooting en route to 15 points as Detroit is in a tight contest with Miami. Detroit trails 39-37 with seven minutes remaining in the second quarter.

Banchero’s 37 points (13-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT) comes alongside seven rebounds, six assists and a block in just under 20 minutes of action. He’s on pace for a historic performance in Magic franchise history👀👀

Isaiah Jackson pins Gary Harris between the rim and backboard. Beautiful cut. Better block. Indiana trails by eight with over four minutes remaining in the second quarter.

Banchero’s career high is 43 points, and he’s on watch for a career-best performance versus the Pacers in front of his home crowd. Banchero is stealing the show from teammate Jalen Suggs who has 12 points on a perfect 4-for-4 shooting from beyond the arc.

Third-year, jumbo-forward Paolo Banchero has racked up 13 points, four rebounds and three assists with the Magic out to an early 27-24 lead over the Pacers. Jalen Suggs is helping carry offense with 12 points of his own.

Toppin, the 2022 Slam Dunk Champion with the Knicks, is just as bouncy in Year 2 of his Pacers tenure.

Lonzo Ball in a velvet wine tracksuit and he brought his Louis with him. Chicago takes on Memphis (8 ET on NBA League Pass) in what will be Ball’s third game of the season.

Cunningham comes into Kaseya Center averaging 27.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 8.0 assists across Detroit’s first three games. Detroit facing Miami marks the fourth consecutive opponent that was a playoff team a season ago — one of the toughest schedules to open the season.
