However, it didn't stop them from getting among the thick of the action with a handful of massive performances from the Australians.

Patty Mills delivered in a big way for the Brooklyn Nets, scoring 34 points in their win against the Lakers, while Josh Giddey claimed a bizarre double-double without scoring a point in Oklahoma City Thunder's win against the Pelicans.

Jock Landale continues to earn more minutes in the San Antonio Spurs rotation with the big man demonstrating what he is capable of with a brilliant 17 point cameo in their big win against Detroit on December 27.
