Duke in the NBA: Jayson Tatum dominates, Jared McCain bests Cameron Boozer

There were 18 different NBA teams in action Friday night, meaning plenty of former Duke Blue Devils took the floor for their respective squads.

Beginning with former No. 3 overall pick Jayson Tatum, who helped dismantle the Charlotte Hornets, scoring a game-high 34 points, 18 of which came in the first quarter, to go along with eight rebounds and nine assists. He also converted on five 3-pointers as the Celtics cruised to a 39-point victory.

Current teammates and former No. 1 overall selections Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving led the Dallas Mavericks to another win, defeating the Utah Jazz 112-100. Flagg neared a triple-double, posting 21 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, three steals and one block. Irving added 14 points, two rebounds, two assists and three steals.

Cameron Boozer had a rough night for the Grizzlies, who lost their third consecutive contest Friday. Last year's AP Player of the Year Award winner finished with only eight points on 2-for-14 shooting from the field, including 0-for-8 from downtown. His schoolmate, Jared McCain, outdueled him, tallying 21 points, five rebounds, four steals and one block as the Thunder earned a 31-point victory.

In the absence of Kawhi Leonard and Scottie Barnes, another former No. 3 overall pick, RJ Barrett, tied a game-high with 27 points to go along with seven rebounds and five assists as the Raptors cruised to a 121-107 win over Milwaukee.

Lastly, Barrett's former teammate at Duke, Zion Williamson, finished with 13 points, eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and zero turnovers for the Pelicans in a narrow loss to the Timberwolves.
