Let’s take a look at the top performers around the NBA from Sunday, October 26, a date on the calendar that featured nine games. In giving guys love here, we’re mostly focusing on players who helped contribute to a win on Sunday. Boston Celtics’ Jaylen Brown (41 points, six rebounds, four assists) and New York Knicks’ Jalen Brunson (37 points, seven assists, five rebounds) didn’t quite make the cut here, as their teams lost.
There will be occasions when a player’s performance was so impressive — even in a loss — that it deserves mention (see Giannis below in today’s report).
Without further ado…

51 points (6-10 3P), 11 rebounds, 9 assists
LaMelo Ball, Hornets
