Brandon Ingram scored a career-high 49 points against the Utah Jazz. People say that he made the leap this season but he was already playing like this in his last few weeks with the Lakers.

Markelle Fultz’s resurgence continues. He put up a triple-double for the Magic in a win over the powerhouse Lakers.
The Grizzlies have won their 6th straight and no rookie has been better than Ja Morant.
The Magic are just that: average. But slow progress is better than no progress. They made the playoffs last season after a six-year absence.
Yeah! Stupid Power Rankings are here! I take 10 things from the NBA (or not) that happened this week and rank them accordingly.
The Utah Jazz have gone from a disappointment early in the season to the hottest team in the league. They’re currently riding on a 9-game winning streak.
Kyle Kuzma is not “trash”, per se. But he is a capable scorer that is starting to show what he can do in his adjusted role with the Lakers.
People get really heated over NBA all-star voting. I get it but I also don’t get it. Yet I get it. I think I just confused myself.
Russell Westbrook returned to Oklahoma City for the first time as an opposing player. But the Thunder spoiled his return as they continue their winning ways.
Nikola Jokic has scored 80 points in the last two games. He also scored the game-winner against Dallas.
The Blazers went into Toronto and beat them with a Carmelo Anthony clutch shot. Portland isn’t a great team but Melo’s definitely helping them stay afloat.
The San Antonio Spurs upset the Milwaukee Bucks. At 15-20, they’re in the driver’s seat for the 8th seed in the West. Yeah. I know what I just said.
Everyone likes Power Rankings! So we have one of our own even though we think they’re stupid. Check out our list of NBA happenings throughout the week with the Stupid Power Rankings!
The Lakers blocked an incredible 20 shots Sunday against the Pistons. That’s the most blocks by a team since March 2001.
The Clippers should be okay after they were walloped by the Grizzlies. SHOULD.
Andre Drummond might leave the Pistons soon. The Hawks are rumored to be in talks of acquiring him.
