As LeBron James has risen to international stardom, he has had a silent partner. This is the story of how Randy Mims became one of the most important men in basketball.

Our NBA insiders break down the biggest Rivals Week matchups, including a finals rematch, Wemby's homecoming and a Western Conference showdown.

Here are the top moments from Paris for a double header that began on Thursday.

Joki became the first player to get 30 points, 20 rebounds and 15 assists in an NBA game since Wilt Chamberlain.

Larry Nance Jr. joins KOC to reflect on his experiences with former teammate, Kobe Bryant, as the five-year anniversary of his passing approaches & Tom Haberstroh drops in with the latest NBA news and notes.

With Kawhi Leonard, James Harden and Norman Powell back in the lineup, the Clippers cruised to a 110-93 victory over the struggling Washington Wizards.

After being grounded in New Orleans all week by a historic winter storm and arriving in Milwaukee a little more than two hours before tipoff Thursday, the Bucks won their fifth straight game in convincing fashion.

Sarr finished Thursday's defeat with his first double-double since January 10 and sixth of the season. While the rookie's season-long fantasy value has been low, he's been better recently. A 9th-round player over the past two weeks, Sarr has averaged 11.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.5 blocks, and 1.6 3-pointers per game. Percentages have been an unsurprising issue for Sarr. However, he's been allowed to play through his inefficiency, which won't change anytime soon.

Joki became the first player to get 30 points, 20 rebounds and 15 assists in an NBA game since Wilt Chamberlain.

Bamba played 15 minutes in this game, which is a similar workload to what he saw as a starter over each of the last two games. However, he had some streaming upside as a starter, but the odds of anyone starting him with Ivica Zubac back were incredibly low. Of course, this ended up being arguably his best game of the season. He set new season-highs for points, blocks and 3-pointers in the win, though this isn't enough to justify him as a streaming option. He played well in this game, but he shouldn't be rostered in standard leagues.

24 hours after DJJ scored a season-high 29 points with the Clippers playing without their top four scorers, he was able to remain in the starting unit for another game with Kris Dunn still sidelined. He picked up right where he left off and scored 10 of his 19 points in the first quarter. Two of his three highest-scoring games of the season came over the last two days, and he was able to provide plenty of 3-pointers and defensive stats in both. They'll close out the week against the Bucks on Saturday, though it is unlikely that Jones Jr. stays this hot.

After struggling with his shot against Washington on Tuesday, Reaves responded well with his performance in this blowout win over the defending champions. He ranks inside the top-40 in 9-cat leagues over the last two weeks, which has been a result of his production in points, assists and 3-pointers. He was huge in this win, and he'll look to keep it going during their matchup with Golden State on Saturday to wrap up the week. He recorded a triple-double with 26 points when they faced off on Christmas Day.

With Kawhi Leonard, James Harden and Norman Powell back in the lineup, the Clippers cruised to a 110-93 victory over the struggling Washington Wizards.

Curry's final stat line was modest by his lofty standards, but it didn't mean much when the Warriors received 83 points from their bench. And Curry needed a night like Tuesday after shooting 12-of-27 from the field and scoring 32 points in losses to Boston and Sacramento. The Warriors end their Week 13 schedule at home against the Lakers on Saturday.

Moody had an excellent night, doing far more than just knocking down a few shots. His four blocks were a career-high and his second game with at least three rejections. Add in the rebounds, assists, and 3-pointers; this was a good time to have Moody rostered. He's available in more than 90% of Yahoo leagues and with good reason. Moody's production hasn't been good enough. While Thursday was great, fantasy managers must not overreact.

Davis has only had a few games where he didn't record a double-double this season, and this was one of them. However, he likely would have if the game was closer, since he only played 31 minutes, and he was still able to provide plenty of value across the board. Davis has once again been a top-five player in fantasy basketball, and there is no reason to think that he'll slow down soon. He'll look to keep things going against the Warriors on Saturday to close out the week.

The Lakers have now won four of their last five games, with LeBron scoring at least 20 points in all of them. He has been playing well recently and ranks inside the top-20 in 9-cat leagues over the last two weeks. James played 31 minutes in this game, though he may have played more if the game was closer. They'll wrap up Rivals Week with a matchup with the Warriors on Saturday. LeBron had 31 points and 10 assists when they last faced off, which was on Christmas Day.

This certainly wasn't one of Tatum's best games, but he was still able to post a full line in the loss. They escaped with a win over the other Los Angeles team on Wednesday, but they weren't able to complete the sweep on the second night of a back-to-back. Tatum has had a strong season, which is why he was once again named an All-Star starter on Thursday night. They'll need him to be much better in Dallas on Saturday if they want to close out the week with a win.
