Notable players to watch

  • Montrezl Harrell, Chicago 

Harrell finished with 16 points in a win last week. Combined with Nasir Core and Chris Allen, Chicago held Dallas to just 21% shooting from deep and forced seven turnovers. Harrell ranks sixth in the league in points per game (18.8) and is tied for 10th in rebounds per contest (7.0).

  • Michael Beasley, Miami

Beasley keeps racking up points, and last week he finished out the win with a personal 7-0 run to complete a dominant 30-point performance. Beasley capped off the afternoon with a game-winning shot to put Miami at the top of the standings. He leads the league with 3 made 4-pointers, while the rest of the league is a combined 5-36 from 4-point range (13.9%).

  • Earl Clark, DMV

Clark had 19 of the team's 25 points in the first half last week. He finished with 28 points on the night, a career-high for the former NBA lottery pick. No one it shooting the 3-ball better than Clark right now, as he is tied for first in the BIG3 with eight made 3-pointers this season.

  • Cameron Smith, Detroit

Smith made a huge splash in Week 5, dropping 25 points in his BIG3 debut in what was a big win for Detroit over Houston. Smith was signed to replace the injured Joe Johnson, and he certainly filled the shoes of the BIG3 legend. Smith came in and immediately made an impact, racking up 11 consecutive points and scoring 16 of his 25 points by halftime.
