#5: Suggs’ Precision Pass to the Rookie

In the Dallas Mavericks’ commanding 108-85 victory over the Orlando Magic, Jalen Suggs delivered the fifth-best play of the night.

Da Silva capped the play with a powerful two-handed slam in transition.

#4: Jaden Ivey’s Impressive Scoop Layup

In the Detroit Pistons’ 106-92 win over the Brooklyn Nets, Jaden Ivey put on a show in the final minute of the second quarter. Charging toward the rim, Ivey seemed ready to throw down on Cameron Johnson, but midair, he shifted, contorting his body for an elegant scoop layup to finish at the rim.

#3: Larry Nance Jr. Throws it Down

In the Atlanta Hawks’ 126-111 triumph over the New Orleans Pelicans, Larry Nance Jr. pulled off the third-best play. With three minutes left in the third quarter, David Roddy delivered a perfect bounce pass to an open Nance from the baseline. Rising up, Nance completed a powerful one-handed dunk over Pelicans big man Daniel Theis.
