The Australian contingent was among the thick of the action with a handful of solid performances for their teams.

Rookie Josh Giddey continues to put up strong numbers for the Oklahoma City Thunder including a career-high haul of 21 points in his side’s clash with the Charlotte Hornets. 

Coming on an efficient 10-17 shooting, the Aussie rising star is beginning to feel more at home as a scorer in the NBA.

Patty Mills remains a key part of the Brooklyn Nets push for the top spot in the Eastern Conference and helped them to a win against his former team the San Antonio Spurs in what was his first game back at the AT&T Arena.

Josh Green and Jock Landale are both seeing more minutes and are making the most of their increase in opportunity with improved outputs.

Finally, Matisse Thybulle remains out of action as he rehabs a sprained shoulder while Ben Simmons continues his hold out at the Philadelphia 76ers.
