Tuesday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Game of the Night: Lakers at Bucks (-11 ?, 230) ? 8:05 PM EST

It?s not often that this showcase features a game with a double-digit spread. The Lakers (31-39 SU, 27-41-2 ATS) continue to spiral out of control with the latest embarrassment coming in Sunday?s 124-123 setback to the Knicks as 4 ?-point favorites. L.A. allowed New York to score 41 first point quarter points, while the game-winning attempt from LeBron James in the final seconds was rejected by New York?s Mario Hezonja to send the Lakers to 1-8 in the last nine games.

The Bucks (52-18 SU, 41-26-3 ATS) suffered only their sixth home loss of the season in Sunday?s 130-125 home setback to the 76ers as six-point favorites. Giannis Antetokounmpo put together a career-high 52 points for Milwaukee, along with 19 made free throws and 16 rebounds. However, the Bucks couldn?t erase a nine-point halftime deficit in spite of scoring 43 points in the fourth quarter (but allowed 41 points).

Milwaukee owns an incredible 16-1 record off a loss this season with the only defeat coming at Phoenix on March 4 as 13-point favorites in a 114-105 defeat. The Bucks have not lost back-to-back games at Fiserv Forum this season, but Milwaukee has put together a 7-6 ATS record as a favorite of 11 points or more.

The Lakers will look to avenge a 131-120 home loss to the Bucks on March 1 as 5 ?-point underdogs. Los Angeles built a six-point halftime lead, but was outscored in the second half, 72-55, while the total sailed OVER 240. Eric Bledsoe paced the Bucks with 31 points, while James paced the Lakers with 31 points, as L.A. tries to snap an 0-5 SU/ATS run in the underdog role this evening.

However, the Lakers will have to beat the Bucks without their star as James is sidelined with a groin injury. Los Angeles owns a 6-13 SU and 8-10-1 ATS mark without James this season, but picked up two covers as double-digit underdogs in this span. Antetokounmpo is also out for the Bucks with a sprained ankle, as Milwaukee is 3-2 SU/ATS without the "Greek Freak" this season.

76ers (-1 ?, 224) at Hornets ? 7:05 PM EST

It?s highly unlikely that Philadelphia and Charlotte will hook up in the opening round of the playoffs, but that?s good news for the Sixers. Philadelphia (45-25 SU, 33-37 ATS) has won all three games against Charlotte (31-38 SU, 31-37-1 ATS) by a combined five points, including a pair of overtime victories. The 76ers have captured nine consecutive meetings with the Hornets dating back to January 2017, including four straight covers at Spectrum Center.

The Hornets limp home from a 1-3 road trip with three losses by double-digits at Milwaukee, Houston, and Miami. Charlotte?s offense dried up on Sunday in a 93-75 setback to the Heat as the Hornets scored only 36 points in the second half, while hitting 7-of-36 attempts from three-point range. The Hornets have lost 12 of their past 17 games, while covering just four times in this span.

The 76ers picked up their fourth consecutive victory in Sunday?s 130-125 triumph at Milwaukee, which snapped a two-game road skid. Joel Embiid posted a 40-point, 15-rebound effort in Sunday?s win, while Jimmy Butler scored 27 points to help the 76ers forge above the .500 mark on the road (17-16). However, Embiid will sit out tonight for the 76ers, missing his ninth game since the All-Star break.

Following an eight-game UNDER stretch, Philadelphia has hit the OVER in two straight contests, as Sunday?s shootout at Milwaukee ended a four-game UNDER run away from Wells Fargo Center.

Rockets (-7 ?, 231 ?) at Hawks ? 7:35 PM EST

Houston (44-26 SU, 32-36-1 ATS) is continuing to make a push for the top seed in the Western Conference as the Rockets have won 10 of their past 11 games following Sunday?s 117-102 home victory over Minnesota. The Rockets enter tonight?s action 3 ? games behind both Golden State and Denver for the number one seed in the West. Houston actually received balanced scoring as Chris Paul hit 6-of-7 three-point attempts and scored 25 points, while James Harden surprisingly did not lead the Rockets in points by posting 20 on 8-of-24 shooting. The Rockets cashed their seventh UNDER in the last eight games, while not allowing more than 106 points in each game during this run.

The Hawks (24-47 SU, 35-36 ATS) have played better at home of late by beating the Pelicans and Grizzlies, while owning a strong 6-1 ATS record in the past seven contests as a home underdog. Atlanta hung with Houston in the first matchup at Toyota Center as 12 ?-point underdogs in a 119-111 loss last month. Since the start of January, the Rockets have compiled a 1-6-1 ATS mark in their eight opportunities as a road favorite.

Warriors (-6 ?, 229 ?) at Wolves ? 8:05 PM EST

Golden State (47-22 SU, 28-40-1 ATS) lost for the first time on its four-game road trip in Monday?s 111-105 setback at San Antonio. The Warriors knocked off the Rockets and Thunder to start this trip, but the Splash Brothers couldn?t throw one in the water last night as Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined to shoot 14-of-43 from the floor for 39 points. Curry did drill a 61-footer to end the first quarter following an 0-of-7 start, but the Warriors failed to cover for the fourth straight time as a road favorite.

The Warriors head to Minnesota to face the Timberwolves (32-38 SU, 34-36 ATS), who are in a tough scheduling spot after suffering their eighth straight road loss and return home for one game. Minnesota lost all three games by double-digits on its road trip at Denver, Utah, and Houston, while failing to cover in all three defeats as an underdog of 9 to 9 ? points. The Wolves hit the highway again after tonight for two games at Charlotte and Memphis, but Minnesota has won six consecutive games at Target Center.

Golden State captured the first two meetings with Minnesota at Oracle Arena this season, but the Wolves have won the last two matchups at Target Center, including a 109-103 victory last March as a 3 ?-point underdog.

Nets at Kings (-3 ?, 233) ? 10:05 PM EST

The long schedule has caught up with both these up and coming squads as each team is slumping of late. Brooklyn (36-36 SU, 38-34 ATS) has lost the first three games of a seven-game road swing to the Thunder, Jazz, and Clippers, while blowing significant leads in the defeats to Oklahoma City and Los Angeles. The Nets managed a cover as 5 ?-point underdogs at Staples Center on Sunday, snapping a four-game ATS slide away from Barclays Center.

Sacramento (34-35 SU, 41-27-1 ATS) ended a three-game skid in Sunday?s 129-102 home blowout over Chicago to grab the season sweep over the Bulls. The Kings grabbed their third straight cover following close losses to the Celtics and 76ers on the road, as Sacramento seeks back-to-back wins for the first time since the All-Star break. Sacramento was blown out at Brooklyn in its first matchup this season at Barclays Center, 123-94 as 3 ?-point underdogs in late January as the Nets outscored the Kings, 30-9 in the fourth quarter.

Pacers at Clippers (-5, 219 ?) ? 10:35 PM EST

Indiana (44-27 SU, 36-35 ATS) heads to Los Angeles with no rest tonight after Monday?s 106-98 defeat at Portland. The Pacers dropped their sixth straight road contest since late February, while extending their UNDER streak to seven games as Indiana?s offense has scored 100 points or less in each of its past four contests away from Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

The Clippers (41-30 SU, 40-31 ATS) wrap up a six-game homestand after rallying past the Bulls and Nets in the last two wins. Los Angeles has failed to cash in the last three games, but the Clippers own a solid 7-1 record in March. The Clippers have dropped five straight meetings with the Pacers since 2016, including a 116-92 drubbing at Indiana last month.

Indiana enters tonight?s action at 9-3 SU/ATS with no rest, although the Pacers have played on a back-to-back on the road only once since the All-Star break by beating Washington, 119-112 on February 23.

Warriors top Timberwolves 117-107, regain 1st in conference
March 19, 2019
By The Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) D'Angelo Russell scored 27 of his career-high 44 points in the fourth quarter, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson made a layup with eight-tenths of a second remaining, and the Brooklyn Nets rallied from 28 points down in the second half to beat the Sacramento Kings 123-121 on Tuesday night and snap a four-game losing streak.

Brooklyn was sluggish and out of sync for three quarters before Russell sparked the Nets' biggest comeback of the season.

After scoring 17 points in the first half and going without a point in the third quarter, Russell shot 10 of 15 in the fourth quarter, repeatedly burning Sacramento's defense with quick drives to the basket. Russell also had four 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, breaking Allen Crabbe's single-season record of 201 set last season. Russell has 202.

Hollis-Jefferson had 14 points off the bench, and none more important than his game-winning layup after Sacramento's Marvin Bagley III stepped out of bounds with 5.5 seconds left.

Hollis-Jefferson took the inbound pass from Joe Harris and looked for Russell, who was being double-teamed. With the clock winding down, Hollis-Jefferson drove from near the 3-point arc and went around a Kings defender near the hoop to score.

Jarrett Allen added 13 points and seven rebounds for Brooklyn. Spencer Dinwiddie scored 10 points.

De'Aaron Fox scored 27 points for Sacramento. Marvin Bagley had 29 points on 12-of-15 shooting for the Kings (35-35). Nemanja Bjelica added 14 points and 10 rebounds, while Harrison Barnes scored 17.

WARRIORS 117, TIMBERWOLVES 107

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Stephen Curry scored 22 of his 36 points in the third quarter and Klay Thompson pitched in with 28 points as Golden State beat fading Minnesota and regained first place in the Western Conference.

Jonas Jerebko added 18 points, Kevin Durant scored 17 points and Draymond Green had 10 rebounds and nine assists for the Warriors (48-22), who bounced back from a loss at San Antonio on Monday and moved a half-game ahead of Denver (47-22) in the race for the top seed. The Nuggets were idle.

Curry went 8 for 14 from 3-point range, pushing him past the 300 mark for the third time in four seasons.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 26 points and 21 rebounds, Andrew Wiggins totaled 20 points, eight rebounds and six assists and Josh Okogie had 19 points for the Timberwolves, who lost their fourth straight game.

CLIPPERS 115, PACERS 109

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Danilo Gallinari scored 24 points, Montrezl Harrell had 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Los Angeles prevented Indiana from clinching a playoff berth.

Clinging to a 110-107 lead, Lou Williams hit a jumper with 40 seconds left to stop a 5-0 run by Indiana.

Tyreke Evans and Bojanc Bogdanovic scored 19 points each for the Pacers, whose road skid extended to seven straight games. Doug McDermott added 17 points and Domantas Sabonis had 13 points and a career-high-tying 16 rebounds playing the second night of a back-to-back.

BUCKS 115, LAKERS 101

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Khris Middleton scored 30 points and Brook Lopez added 28 as Milwaukee beat Los Angeles.

Milwaukee played without Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is nursing an injured ankle, while LeBron James sat out for Los Angeles due to a sore groin.

Nikola Mirotic added 23 points for Milwaukee, which improved to an NBA-best 53-18.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had a season-high 35 points for the Lakers, three off his career best. Kyle Kuzma added 17 points. Los Angeles has lost four consecutive games and nine of 10.

ROCKETS 121, HAWKS 105

ATLANTA (AP) - James Harden had 31 points and 10 assists, Clint Capela added 26 points and 11 rebounds and Houston won its third straight game.

The Rockets have won 12 of 13 and have 10 wins in their last 13 road games.

Trae Young had 21 points and 12 assists and John Collins added 20 points 10 rebounds for the Hawks.

Chris Paul had 13 points, 11 assists, three steals and just one turnover. Capela got his sixth straight double-double and 37th overall.

76ERS 118, HORNETS 114

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Ben Simmons scored 28 points, JJ Redick had 27 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists and Philadelphia held on to beat Charlotte for its fifth straight victory.

Jimmy Butler added 23 points and nine assists, and Tobias Harris chipped in with 22 points and 12 rebounds for the 76ers (46-25), who remained in third place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Redick finished with seven 3-pointers, one shy of his career high.

Jeremy Lamb led the Hornets with 26 points and 11 rebounds, but missed a floater that would have sent the game into overtime. Kemba Walker had 21 points for the Hornets (31-39), who have dropped four of their last five and continue to fall out of playoff contention.

Wednesday?s List of 13: Mid-week musings??

13) Mike Trout signed a 12-year, $430M deal with the Angels; thats $35,833,333 per year, if you?re scoring at home. Big day for baseball players and their agents.

The business of baseball myst be good; Artie Moreno bought the Angels for $184M in April, 2003; 16 years later, he pays one guy more than double that.

12) Question is, was this a good day for Angel fans? Halos are also paying Albert Pujols another $87M over the next three seasons. Neither one of those guys pitches, and pitching wins.

11) Oakland A?s entire payroll last year was $65,985,833; now Trout/Pujols will be making $63.8M combined this year. Oakland won 17 more games than the Angels last year.

10) St Joe?s fired coach Phil Martelli Tuesday after 24 years with the school; Hawks were 28-8 three short years ago, but then DeAndre? Bembry left school a year early and things weren?t the same- St Joe?s went 41-55 the last three years, 20-34 in the A-14.

St Joe?s brought in a new athletic director last year, and new AD?s usually don?t care too much about what happened before they got there, so now the Hawks are looking for a new coach. Martelli made the NCAA?s seven times in 24 years at St Joe?s; we live in a fickle society.

9) Freshman Joel Ntambwe is transferring from UNLV, which is terrible news for Rebel fans and the new UNLV coach, whoever that turns out to be. Ntambwe averaged 11.8 ppg and 5.5 rpg this year- he shot 38.6% behind the arc. Really good player.

8) FDU 82, Prairie View 76? Prairie View made 8-12 on arc in first half, led 41-34 at the break; they made 15-29 on arc for the game, but FDU?s PG Jenkins scored 20 second half points and the Knights move on to play Gonzaga in Salt Lake City Thursday. Fun game to watch.

7) Belmont 81, Temple 70? Belmont plays like the old Pete Carril/Princeton teams; they shoot the 3?s, they make backdoor cuts, they?re a unique team to play against.

6) #8-seed in the NBA?s Western Conference are the Clippers, who are 41-30; a 41-30 team would be the 6th seed in the East.

5) Rams signed Blake Bortles as their new backup QB; Bortles has started 73 NFL games, and was the Jaguars? QB when they made the playoffs in 2017.

4) I don?t understand why people bet on spring training baseball games; no one cares who wins, the pitchers might actually be working on one pitch and may stay away from his best stuff, but lines are posted every day, subs we?ve rarely heard of play the last half of the game and money changes hands. Go figure.

3) Wofford is a 3-point favorite over a Seton Hall team that went 9-9 in the Big East; that alone should get coach Mike Young into the top 3 in national Coach of the Year voting.

2) Damon Jones played 12 years in the NBA and was later an assistant coach with the Cavaliers when they won the 2016 NBA title. In his playing days, Jones played for 10 different teams in his dozen years in the league. This is a guy who should write a book.

1) Former NBA star Walt (Clyde) Frazier is 73 years old now: he is a New York City icon who led the Knicks to two NBA titles in the 70?s, and to this day he works Knicks? games on MSG Network. He generally isn?t very controversial, but he does speak the truth.

Sunday afternoon, when the Knicks played the Lakers, Frazier was critical of Lebron James because Lebron was sitting away from his teammates on the bench during a timeout near the end of a game the Lakers wound up losing by a point. Candid comments; good stuff.

Monday night during the Knicks-Raptors game, Frazier told Mike Breen that he was surprised his comments got so much attention, but criticism is unusual to hear in these politically correct times, and it was great to hear, because it was warranted.

Wednesday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Game of the Night: Celtics at 76ers (-3, 225) ? 7:05 PM EST

Boston eliminated Philadelphia in five games in last season?s second round of the playoffs before getting bounced by Cleveland in the conference finals. The Celtics (43-28 SU, 34-36-1 ATS) have continued that dominance this season by winning each of the first three meetings with their division rivals, including a 112-109 victory at Wells Fargo Center as 6 ?-point underdogs prior to the All-Star break.

The 76ers (46-25 SU, 34-37 ATS) finished off the four-game season sweep of the Hornets on Tuesday in a 118-114 triumph. Philadelphia stuck to its script of close games with Charlotte as the 76ers won the four matchups by a combined 10 points, while capturing its fifth consecutive victory overall. Four Philadelphia starters scored at least 22 points last night, led by 28 points from Ben Simmons on 11-of-12 shooting from the floor.

Philadelphia managed the victory without Joel Embiid, who sat out for the ninth time since the All-Star break. Embiid hopes to play tonight after dominating the Bucks for 40 points in Sunday?s win at Milwaukee, as the 76ers try to improve on a 2-5 ATS record in their last seven games in the role of a home favorite.

The Celtics lost for the second time in the last seven trips to the court in Monday?s 114-105 home setback to the Nuggets. Boston slipped to 0-4 ATS the past four games, but the Celtics have cashed in three of the previous four opportunities in the underdog role.

Bucks (-9 ?, 227) at Cavaliers ? 7:05 PM EST

Milwaukee (53-18 SU, 42-26-3 ATS) travels to Cleveland with no rest tonight following Tuesday?s 115-101 home triumph over the slumping Lakers. The Bucks played without star Giannis Antetokounmpo, who rested a sprained ankle and really isn?t needed here against a lottery team. Milwaukee has topped Cleveland twice by double-digits this season, while dominating Miami and New Orleans in its last two opportunities as a road favorite.

The Cavaliers (18-53 SU, 33-36-2 ATS) are creeping closer towards the elusive 20-win mark as Cleveland surprised Detroit on Monday, 126-119 as 6 ?-point home underdogs. The victory snapped a three-game skid as the Cavaliers shot 58% from the floor, paced by rookie Collin Sexton?s 27 points. The Cavaliers have profited nicely since the All-Star break by posting a 8-4-1 ATS record, including three straight covers as a home underdog.

Wizards (-3 ?, 221) at Bulls ? 8:05 PM EST

The road team has grabbed each of the first two matchups between these two Eastern Conference squads who are both outside the playoff race. Washington (30-41 SU, 34-37 ATS) has won only eight games away from D.C. this season, but one of the victories came at the United Center on February 9 in a 134-125 triumph as two-point favorites, highlighted by a 42-point second quarter.

The Wizards finished off their five-game homestand at 3-2, while hitting the road off a 116-95 setback to the Jazz on Monday. The Bulls (20-52 SU, 32-39-1 ATS) are back in the Windy City after capturing a win in the final contest of a three-game away swing at Phoenix on Monday, 116-101. Chicago has lost 11 of its past 13 home games to Eastern Conference foes, while dropping six of the previous eight meetings with Washington.

Heat at Spurs (-6 ?, 210 ?) ? 8:35 PM EST

The hottest team in the league resides in San Antonio as the Spurs (42-29 SU, 40-30-1 ATS) have caught fire at the right time. San Antonio has run off nine consecutive victories since a dreadful Rodeo Road Trip, capped off by Monday?s 111-105 home triumph over Golden State as three-point underdogs. DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge combined to score 49 points for the Spurs, who has won 11 straight games at AT&T Center since January 27.

The Heat (34-36 SU, 38-32 ATS) are somehow leading the Southeast division in spite of a losing record, but are climbing towards the .500 mark following victories on a back-to-back set against the Hornets and Thunder. Miami fell into a 13-0 hole to start Monday?s game at Oklahoma City, but the Heat rallied back quickly by taking a 27-25 lead at the end of the first quarter before beating the Thunder, 116-107. The Heat actually owns a winning record on the road (17-16), while covering eight of their past 10 games away from American Airlines Arena.

Raptors at Thunder (-4 ?, 226) ? 9:35 PM EST

Oklahoma City (42-29 SU, 36-35 ATS) has dropped three straight games to fall into third place of the Northwest division. Russell Westbrook sat out Monday?s nine-point home defeat to Miami due to a league-mandated one-game suspension for reaching a certain amount of technical fouls. The Thunder slipped to 3-12 ATS the last 15 games, including a 1-6 ATS mark at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

The Raptors (50-21 SU, 31-40 ATS) have been up and down of late by splitting their last eight games, coming off Monday?s 128-92 blowout of the hapless Knicks. Toronto has slipped up in its past two road contests at Detroit and Cleveland, while guard Kyle Lowry is questionable with an ankle injury for tonight?s contest.

The Thunder and Raptors start a home-and-home set with the second game coming Friday at Toronto. OKC swept Toronto last season, including a 17-point victory at Chesapeake Energy Arena last December as Westbrook and Paul George combined for 63 points. The Raptors own an 8-6 ATS record in the road underdog role, while Toronto has seen the OVER hit in four of the past five games overall.

Mavericks at Blazers (-10, 227 ?) ? 10:05 PM EST

These two Western Conference foes meet for the final time in the regular season as the home team has won each of the first three matchups. After Dallas (28-42 SU, 38-30-2 ATS) topped Portland (43-27 SU, 40-30 ATS) by nine points in early December, the Blazers and Mavericks played two close contests decided by a total of four points. Dallas rallied past Portland at American Airlines Center in February, 102-101 by outscoring the Blazers, 24-9 in the fourth quarter.

The Mavericks have dropped 13 of their past 15 games since that late rally against the Blazers, capped off by a 129-125 overtime setback to the Pelicans on Monday. Dallas will look to snap a seven-game road losing streak tonight, while Portland has four of its past five contests after topping Indiana on Monday, 106-98.

Embiid, 76ers top Celtics for 6th straight victory
March 20, 2019
By The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Joel Embiid had 37 points, 22 rebounds and a key block on Kyrie Irving with 35 seconds remaining, and Jimmy Butler scored 15 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter to lead the 76ers over the Boston Celtics for their sixth straight victory.

Tobias Harris added 21 points for the 76ers, who avoided a season sweep by the Celtics. Philadelphia (47-25) holds the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race, three games ahead of idle Indiana and four in front of fifth-place Boston.

Irving scored 36 points for the Celtics.

The game was tied at 113 with a minute left before Ben Simmons converted a three-point play. He banked in a shot with his right hand and got fouled by Marcus Morris, hitting the free throw to make it 116-113 with 40.8 seconds to go. Embiid then rejected a driving Irving on the Celtics' ensuing possession and Butler sealed it with a long jumper from the wing with 4.7 ticks remaining.

GRIZZLIES 126, ROCKETS 125, OT

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - James Harden scored 57 points but the Memphis Grizzlies outlasted Houston, handing the Rockets only their second loss in the last 14 games.

Mike Conley scored 35 points for Memphis and Jonas Valanciunas had a career-best 33, including the game-winning free throw with less than a second left.

Valanciunas made the first of two free throws with 0.1 seconds remaining after he was fouled by Clint Capela under the Grizzlies basket. The clock ran out after Valanciunas, who also had 15 rebounds, missed the second foul shot.

Harden scored 15 during a 17-2 fourth-quarter burst that helped the Rockets tie the game at 115 at the end of regulation. Harden's three free throws with 4 seconds left tied it.

HEAT 110, SPURS 105

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Goran Dragic had 22 points and the Miami Heat snapped the Spurs' nine-game winning streak, sending Dwyane Wade home a winner in his final game in San Antonio.

Dion Waiters added 18 points and Josh Richardson had 15 for Miami, which has won three straight.

San Antonio's previous loss was Feb. 25 in Brooklyn as part of their 1-7 Rodeo Road Trip. The Spurs had won 11 straight at home.

The Spurs had six players in double figures, but only two starters. LaMarcus Aldridge scored 17 points and DeRozan added 16. Patty Mills and Marco Belinelli added 17 apiece.

CAVALIERS 107, BUCKS 102

CLEVELAND (AP) - Rookie Collin Sexton scored 25 points, Jordan Clarkson added 23 and the Cavaliers delayed Milwaukee from clinching the Central Division with a win over the bruised Bucks, who were without superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Sexton made a 3-pointer with 1:42 left and dropped a driving layup one minute later as the Cavs held on. Down 105-102, Milwaukee had a chance to tie it but had an ugly turnover without getting a shot off.

Sexton became the only rookie in team history to score at least 23 points in seven straight games. Austin Carr (1972) did it six times. Sexton also became the first NBA rookie to score 23 points in seven straight games since Tim Duncan.

Khris Middleton scored 26 points and Eric Bledsoe 24 for the Bucks, who couldn't wrap up their first division title since 2001. They were at a disadvantage as Antetokounmpo sat his second straight game with a sprained right ankle.

Cleveland's Kevin Love, who missed Monday's game in Detroit with a sore lower back, left in the third quarter with an apparent head injury.

MAGIC 119, PELICANS 96

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Evan Fournier scored 22 points and Aaron Gordon added 20 and the Magic routed the New Orleans Pelicans.

Terrence Ross had 19 points and Nikola Vucevic added 15 points and 17 rebounds for Orlando, which won its third straight.

New Orleans played without All-Star center Anthony Davis, who flew home Wednesday morning. The team said Davis was excused to attend a family matter.

Stanley Johnson led the Pelicans with 18 points. New Orleans' Elfrid Payton had his streak of triple-doubles end at five straight games. He finished with seven points, two assists and three rebounds. The only other NBA players with a triple-double in five straight games are Russell Westbrook (four times), Oscar Robertson (three), Wilt Chamberlain (two) and Michael Jordan (one).

JAZZ 137, KNICKS 116

NEW YORK (AP) - Donovan Mitchell scored 30 points, Rudy Gobert made all seven shots and added 18 points, and the Utah Jazz romped to their fifth straight lopsided victory by beating the Knicks.

Joe Ingles made six 3-pointers and also scored 18, while Mitchell made five 3-pointers as the Jazz finished 20 of 42 (48 percent) from behind the arc.

The Jazz led by as much as 37 in a game that was even easier than their recent easy victories. They started their winning streak with a 17-point win over Phoenix, then beat Minnesota by 20, Brooklyn by 16 and Washington by 21.

Kevin Knox scored 27 points and Mario Hezonja had 23 for the Knicks, who lost for the 10th time in 11 games in the opener of a six-game homestand that keeps them home into early next month.

BULLS 126, WIZARDS 120, OT

CHICAGO (AP) - Lauri Markkanen had 32 points and 13 rebounds, Kris Dunn scored a season-high 26 - including eight in overtime - to go with 13 assists, and the short-handed Bulls beat the fading Washington Wizards.

Shaquille Harrison scored 18, and Cristiano Felicio 15 for the Bulls, who won their second straight after dropping five in a row, despite leading scorer Zach LaVine (bruised right thigh, right knee tendinitis) and Otto Porter Jr. (strained right rotator cuff) not playing because of injuries.

Jabari Parker led Washington with 28 points against his former team. Bradley Beal scored 27 and hit the tying jumper in the closing seconds of regulation. But the Wizards lost for the third time in four games.

TRAIL BLAZERS 126, MAVERICKS 118

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Damian Lillard had 33 points and 12 assists to lead the Trail Blazers past the Dallas Mavericks.

Seth Curry scored 20 off the bench for the Blazers, who have won five of six as they try to secure home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Portland (44-27) led by as many as 25, and Lillard hit six of the team's 16 3-pointers.

Luka Doncic had 24 points for the Mavericks, who have lost nine of 10 and sit in second-to-last place in the West, ahead of the Phoenix Suns.

Portland rested Lillard in the fourth quarter. Enes Kanter had 14 points and 10 rebounds off the bench for his first double-double since joining the Blazers just before the All-Star break.

RAPTORS 123, THUNDER 114

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Pascal Siakam had 33 points and 13 rebounds, Fred VanVleet added 23 points and six assists and the Toronto Raptors won the first of two games in three days against Oklahoma City, blowing a 20-point lead in the second half before beating the Thunder.

Atlantic Division-leading Toronto snapped a four-game losing streak against Oklahoma City despite the absence of starting guard Kyle Lowry, who sat out with a sprained right ankle sustained Monday in a win over the New York Knicks. The Raptors did so with balanced scoring, good ball movement - four players had six assists - and strong shooting, making 51.7 percent overall and 38.9 percent from 3-point range (14 of 36). Kawhi Leonard added 22 points and 10 rebounds, while Danny Green scored 17.

In his return after a one-game suspension for accumulating too many technical fouls, Russell Westbrook had 42 points, 11 rebounds and six assists for Oklahoma City, which has lost four straight games and 10 of 14.
