Sinoć je u NBA ligi odigrano pet utakmica. Od hrvatskih igrača značajno je sudjelovao Bojan Bogdanović koji je ostvario solidnih 14 poena u pobjedi Pacersa nad Chicago Bullsima. Rookie mjeseca zapadne konferencije, Luka Dončić, još jednom je opravdao status favorita za nagradu “novaka godine”. Naime, Dončić je s 21 poenom i devet skokova sredio Portland.
