In an all-action display, Watson also harvested seven rebounds, four assists and a steal as he makes a return to our starting five for a second time this season. Jerrold Brooks (Sheffield Sharks)
The Sharks’ guard hangs on to his starting place from last week as he chalks up a stunning sixth berth of the campaign to underline his status as one of the leading BBL backcourt stars. Brooks was unstoppable from the perimeter in a derby success against Leeds Force as he sunk a superb six triples from eight attempts, en-route to 22 points. He also offered three steals and two assists. TrayVonn Wright (Leicester Riders)

He finished with a 20-point haul from 62% shooting and completed a fine double-double with 10 rebounds, while also swatting three shots to secure a fifth starting place of the season. Marcus Ware (Glasgow Rocks)
It’s a second starting place in three weeks for the Rocks’ forward. He helped take his team to a win against Bristol Flyers with the best performance of the entire weekend. Ware corralled 24 points from an excellent 11 of 16 floor shooting and completed a double-double with 10 boards, as well as handing out four assists and grabbing three steals. Perris Blackwell (Worcester Wolves)
It was a momentous night for Wolves when they continued their hold over the Eagles in recent times by ending the second longest winning streak in BBL history. Blackwell was central to a pulsating victory after putting the north-east club to the sword with a 67% shooting effort under the basket which returned 20 points. He also racked up seven rebounds, four assists and two steals.
