Need we say more?<\/p>\n Watch out for \u2018The Alien\u2019. He\u2019s been dominant to begin his third season in the NBA, leading the Spurs to a perfect 3-0 record, which they take into Toronto tonight.<\/p>\n Just look at these numbers:<\/p>\n 40 points, 15 rebounds and three blocks versus the Mavericks. He\u2019s the first player in NBA history to put up 100+ points and 15+ blocks in the first three games of the season.<\/p>\n Only Shaquille O\u2019Neal (1994) and Kevin Garnett (1999) have also tallied 100+ points and 40+ boards in their first three games of the season in the last 50 years.<\/p>\n He\u2019s putting on a show unlike any other in league history, earning Player of the Week honors<\/a> for the opening week of the season, along with Giannis Antetokounmpo.<\/p>\n Wembanyama has diversified his offensive game in the new season after working on his post game with the legendary Hakeem Olajuwon over the summer.<\/p>\n He\u2019s leading the league in post-ups per game (5.7) and scoring the second-most points on them (3.7) while also raining threes and slashing to the rim with abandon.<\/p>\n No one in the league makes it look as easy. In the highlights above, track how many different skills Wemby shows \u2014 the handles, the shooting, the swats. The sequence at 1:41<\/a> is eye-popping.<\/p>\n He denies back-to-back shots, pushes it up the floor after Julien Champagne grabs the loose ball, and pulls up for a 25-foot three that sends Spurs fans into a frenzy.<\/p>\n What will happen tonight?<\/p>\n 5:30 PM \/ OCTOBER 27, 2025<\/p>\n First Peacock-exclusive games of 2025-26 Nikola Joki\u0107<\/a> and the Denver Nuggets face off with Rudy Gobert and the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second half of tonight\u2019s debut doubleheader on Peacock, renewing a playoff rivalry.<\/p>\n Streaming coast-to-coast and across the world, the NBA regular season debuts on Peacock for the first time tonight, raising the curtain on a new era of league broadcasts.<\/p>\n In the first game of this evening\u2019s Peacock-exclusive doubleheader, Cade Cunningham and the Detroit Pistons travel to Cleveland to face Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and the Cavaliers.<\/p>\n Cunningham has hit the ground running this season, building on his growing reputation as one of the best all-around offensive engines in the NBA. He\u2019s leading the league in touches per game with 100.7 and\u00a0averaging 9.0 apg \u2014 good for sixth-best in the league \u2014 as well as 23.0 ppg.<\/p>\n Cade\u2019s the fuel for a Pistons supporting cast that features a pair of hyper-athletic young wings in Ausar Thompson and Ron Holland III, a bruising lob threat at center in Jalen Duren, and cagey vets, including Tobias Harris and Duncan Robinson.<\/p>\n The team\u2019s combined to lead the league in blocks per game on their way to a 2-1 record.<\/p>\n The Cavaliers also stand at 2-1 \u2014 a slight slip from last season, when they opened the campaign 15-0 \u2014 but remain a threat to be the top seed in the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n Mitchell has taken over at point guard with Darius Garland missing time (toe), but continues to get buckets, averaging 30.0 ppg. He\u2019s one of 11 players averaging 30+ ppg during this young season.<\/p>\n In the second game on Peacock, the Denver Nuggets will face off with the Minnesota Timberwolves. While Anthony Edwards will miss tonight\u2019s contest<\/a> (hamstring), the cores of both squads remain from last year\u2019s bruising seven-game playoff series in the Western Conference semifinals.<\/p>\n The Nuggets won two of the three games in Minnesota during that series \u2014 will history repeat itself this evening?<\/p>\n Watch out for Nikola Joki\u0107, who remains a brilliant all-around force and is coming off his second straight triple-double of the season<\/a>.<\/p>\n He\u2019s the fifth-ever player to open the year with two straight triple-doubles, joining Russell Westbrook (2020-21), Magic Johnson (1981-82, 1982-83), Jerry Lucas (1972-73) and Oscar Robertson (1961-62).<\/p>\n Aaron Gordon has also been on fire to begin the year. He\u2019s shooting a blistering 64.7 percent from three-point range so far.<\/p>\n Check out the complete schedule here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nNikola Joki\u0107 (25 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists) put up his third straight triple-double to start the season, joining Russell Westbrook and Oscar Robertson as the only players to achieve the feat. Jamal Murray added 43 points.
\nLauri Markkanen had a career-high 51 points to lead the Jazz over the Suns in overtime.
\nTyrese Maxey dropped 43 points to lead the undefeated 76ers (3-0) over the Magic in a hard-fought contest, as he and VJ Edgecombe (26 points) set a new NBA record for backcourt scoring to open a season.
\nTrae Young had 17 assists in a losing effort against the Bulls, setting the new high for dimes this season.
\nAustin Reaves followed up his career-high 51 point outing with another 41 points, although the shorthanded Lakers lost to the Trail Blazers.
\nVictor Wembanyama put up 24 points and 15 rebounds to continue the remarkable beginning to his third NBA campaign and push the Spurs to 4-0.<\/p>\n
