Welcome back to another night of NBA action. After a wild and crazy Monday, things slow down a bit on this Tuesday with just four games on the docket.

The clear main event of the evening, however, is the showdown between the Trail Blazers and the Bucks, as each team will look to continue a strong start to the season. 

Here’s everything you need to know about Tuesday night’s games.

Walker outshines Young in point guard duel

The early game between the Hornets and Hawks was highlighted by a point guard battle featuring veteran All-Star Kemba Walker and rising rookie Trae Young. Both players had nice nights, but in the end it was Walker who not only won the battle with Young, but also helped the Hornets win the game. Walker finished with 29 points and seven assists, while Young put up 18 points and 10 assists, but turned the ball over six times. 

Wall with the smooth move in transition

The Wizards aren’t having a good start to the season, but John Wall is still capable of pulling off some fancy moves. Check out this around-the-back trick in transition.

Carter turns back the clock

Vince Carter may be in his 21st NBA season, but he can still dunk with the best of them, as he showed against the Hornets. Spinning baseline, he rose up for a nifty little jam.

Bridges soars for the powerful slam

Miles Bridges is only a few weeks into his rookie season, but he’s already made a number of highlight-reel plays — which, to be honest, isn’t all that surprising given that he can jump like this.

Giannis, Bucks battle Lillard, Trail Blazers

The Bucks and Trail Blazers have each gotten off to fantastic starts this season, and will look to continue their early-season success with a win on Tuesday night. Giannis Antetokounmpo has led the new-look Bucks to an 8-1 start, which has them just behind the Raptors in the East, while Damian Lillard and Co. are 7-3, just two and a half games back of the mighty Warriors. There will be plenty of star power on the court in this one, and it should be an exciting game.
