Mason Plumlee's performance against the Clippers on Monday night was only replicated by two other NBA players this season - - Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo. That's fairly elite company to belong to, especially considering the fact that both Durant and Antetokounmpo are wings that have the ball a lot, while Plumlee is not seen as a ball - dominant center. But while the company is elite, the stat line is n't totally shocking considering the numbers Plumlee has posted this season, especially, shockingly enough, in the assist column. Monday was the eighth time in 26 games this season where the big man has posted at least six assists, the 10th time he's dished out at least five assists and the 19th time he's had at least four assists. In fact, his average is currently 4 per game. For a big man, that's a very impressive number, and given Plumlee's ability to dish out the ball for scores on a consistent basis, this may not be the last time the Duke graduate posts a stat line like the one he had on Monday.

The Hawks shot really well in this one, going 51 percent from the field and 48 percent from the three - point line, while the Timberwolves went 45 percent from the floor and just 31 percent from beyond the arc. Despite out - rebounding the Hawks 50 - 36, they turned the ball over 16 times, which was enough to get themselves in just enough of a hole, that they were n't able to make a run at a comeback. Despite receiving only 20 points from their bench, the Hawks saw all five of their starters reach double figures in scoring. The Hawks frontcourt was the difference in this one, out - scoring the Timberwolves' frontcourt 73 - 40. Al Horford led the charge, finishing with 28 points (11 - 18 FG, 6 - 7 FT), eight rebounds and two blocked shots. It was a new season - high in points for him and a nice bounce back outing, after posting only six points in Sunday's loss to the Grizzlies. DeMarre Carroll also had himself a game, recording 26 points (9 - 13 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt, 6 - 6 FT), four rebounds and three steals. Like Horford, it was a new season - high for Carroll, along with a nice surprise for the Hawks, as he's averaging just 12 points per game so far this season. Nearly recording a triple - double, Paul Millsap finished with 19 points (8 - 13 FG, 1 - 2 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT), nine rebounds and seven assists. The seven assists matched a season - high for him. The Timberwolves were led by Kevin Martin, who went 7 - for - 13 from the field and 3 - for - 5 from the three - point line to score 21 points, while also adding five rebounds. He's had two solid games in a row, combining for 45 points and 14 rebounds over that span. After missing a month with an oblique injury, Shabazz Muhammad made his return to the court. In a limited 24 minutes, he played very well and posted 18 points (7 - 14 FG, 1 - 4 3Pt, 3 - 6 FT) and eight rebounds. As long as he did n't suffer any setbacks, he should most likely get an increase in playing time moving forward, which would go a long way in helping the Timberwolves improve their offense. Coming just shy of a double - double, Nikola Pekovic finished with 14 points (6 - 13 FG, 2 - 2 FT) and eight rebounds, while Andrew Wiggins chipped in with 15 points (6 - 14 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 3 - 4 FT) and six rebounds.

The Hawks (10 - 12), on the other hand, are headed in a much different direction than the surging Thunder, as they have now lost seven in a row and 10 of their last 12 games overall. Monday's loss came despite the fact that Paul Millsap returned to the starting lineup after missing three games with a hip injury and led the team in scoring with 24 points on top of five rebounds and five assists. Dennis Schroder managed to add 17 points, eight assists and six rebounds, but the other three Atlanta starters scored a combined 12 points, with starting small forward Kent Bazemore failing to score a single point.

Kyle Singler, the current starter at small forward, tied his season - high with 21 points in 40 minutes. The Pistons will host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday to finish off their back - to - back set.

The Los Angeles Clippers (10 - 8) defeated the Portland Trail Blazers (7 - 11) 102 - 87 on Monday. There must've been something in the air, because there were multiple players who left the game with ailments. Damian Lillard didn’t return after halftime because of a sickness and Chris Paul left due to a hip issue. There were also a lot of strange occurrences in this game. DeAndre Jordan set a career - high with 34 free - throw attempts and made just 12 for an atrocious percentage. In a battle of potent offenses, both teams struggled mightily, as they both shot 38 percent from the field and neither cracked 60 percent from the free - throw line. It was a battle of two teams playing poorly right now and that trend continued on Monday. The Trail Blazers had to play the second half without Damian Lillard and it's hard enough to win with him in the lineup for a full game. The team had no starter shoot over 50 percent from the field and that makes it even more difficult to win. It appears Lillard wo n't miss any signifant time and that he should be back within a few days. C.J. McCollum put in the best line by tallying 13 points and 10 assists, but he had the lowest plus - minus with a - 20. The Blazers will look to bounce - back when they take on the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. Considering that’s the second half of a back - to - back, Lillard's status is up in the air until we see how he's feeling on Tuesday. The Clippers lost Paul yet again in this game, but they were able to close out the Blazers to run away with a needed victory. Jordan had an amazing game, despite the fact that he missed an astounding 22 free - throws. He snatched an incredible 24 boards, while scoring 18 points. It's a great sight to see him rebounding with such force here with his rebounding numbers regressing this season. Blake Griffin also had another nice game, as he collected 23 points, eight rebounds and six assists in the win. If Paul is to miss any serious time, the Clippers will need these big men to keep contributing like this. Los Angeles will play again on Wednesday when they take on the surging Indiana Pacers.

The Philadelphia 76ers (8 - 43) defeated the Brooklyn Nets (13 - 39) 103 - 98 on Saturday in a matchup of the Eastern Conference's bottom two teams. It was a joint effort between Philadelphia's pair of young big men, Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor, that pushed the Sixers over the top against Brooklyn. Okafor led the team with an efficient 22 points on 9 - for - 16 shooting to go along with a whopping 17 rebounds (a season high). Noel, meanwhile, was fiesty on the defensive end, stealing the ball four times and blocking three shots. The sophomore currently leads the entire NBA in "stocks," or steals plus blocks, since the start of the new year. Noel also poured in 18 points on a highly - efficient 8 - for - 11 from the field. As a whole, the Sixers were able to cope with the absence of starting point guard Ish Smith (left ankle) who sat the game out due to injury. Many have credited Smith for Philadelphia's turnaround, as seven of the Sixers' eight wins have now come since Smith's midseason acquisition. The Nets came into Saturday's matchup riding positive momentum after a win against Sacramento on Friday. Unfortunately for Brooklyn, however, the Sixers simply won out in all measurable advantages in the game; Philly held a 42 - 36 advantage in rebounds, a 54 - 40 advantage in points in the paint, a 14 - 19 advantage on turnovers, and made 10 three - pointers in comparison to Brooklyn's five. Things were not as one - sided as one may imagine, however, and the play of power forward Thaddeus Young was a major reason why. Young posted a double - double with a team - leading 22 points and 10 rebounds. The veteran's rebounding renaissance has continued deep into the 2015 - 16 season, as Young is now averaging 9 rebounds per game, almost three better than he has ever averaged before in his career. Center Brook Lopez also had a strong showing, as he posted 17 points and went 7 - for - 7 from the free - throw line. Brooklyn will take on the Denver Nuggets on Monday at Barclays Center. Philadelphia will host the Los Angeles Clippers in their next matchup, which is also on Monday.

Following the Nuggets victory over the Magic on Monday, a pair of performances from two young players in the league stood out. First, for Denver, Nikola Jokic posted 30 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes. That performance was his third consecutive double - double and yet another great performance to Jokic's hot start to the new year. In the five games he's played in January so far, Jokic is averaging 22 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists per game. For the Magic, it was Elfrid Payton who shined, recording 20 points, 12 assists and four rebounds to notch his second double - double in January. Payton has been playing his best basketball of the season over the last three games, as he is averaging 22 points, 9 assists and 6 rebounds 34 minutes in those three contests.

The visiting San Antonio Spurs defeated the Kings, 110 - 105, at Golden 1 Center on Wednesday. The Spurs (9 - 3) lead by double - digits at halftime and were able to maintain control until late in the fourth quarter. All three starting members of San Antonio's frontcourt scored 20 or more points in the win, with veteran big man Pau Gasol scoring a season - high 24 to lead the team. Despite San Antonio's offensive dominance in the paint, the team struggled in the rebounding column, being edged out 46 - 37. This was largely due to a strong showing from Sacramento's DeMarcus Cousins, who posted a game - high 17 rebounds. Despite this, strong scoring inside helped lift the Spurs to a tight victory. Reigning Defensive Player of the Year Kawhi Leonard also shored up San Antonio's defense with four steals. The Spurs remain situated at third in the Western Conference. Sacramento (4 - 8), meanwhile, continues to struggle early in the season despite strong play from their stars. In addition to his superb rebounding, Cousins scored a game - high 26 points and dished six assists. The rest of the starting five struggled, however, combining for just 22 points. Despite the loss, Sacramento was able to make the game promisingly close against a strong Spurs team. The Kings' bench also showed promise, scoring 47 points on the night. The Spurs will visit the Lakers on Friday, while the Kings will host the Clippers on Friday as well.

The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the host Milwaukee Bucks, 113 - 104, at BMO Harris Bradley Center on Monday, In a battle between two young and talented teams, Philadelphia were able to prevail with a huge road victory. The key run for the Sixers was a 16 - 3 spurt in the middle of the fourth quarter that put distance between them and the Bucks. There were 12 ties and 11 lead changes in total, as this game was close throughout. Rebounding was the biggest factor for the Sixers, as they won that battle, 51 - 38. Free-throw shooting really killed the Bucks too, as they went 15 - of - 22, while the Sixers went 29 - of - 36 from the charity stripe. The Sixers (13 - 26) have been a different team with Joel Embiid in the fold and he was a huge factor yet again here. Embiid tallied 22 points, 12 rebounds, two steals and five blocks, with 18 of those points coming in the second half. Sergio Rodriguez got the start for T.J. McConnell (wrist), as he accrued 10 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Dario Saric was huge off the bench, providing 17 points, nine rebounds and four assists. Chasson Randle, Jahlil Okafor, Robert Covington and Gerald Henderson all scored between 10 and 11 points as well. On deck for Philly is a home matchup against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. The Bucks (20 - 20) finally got above .500, but a loss to the Sixers shows the natural growing pains for a young team like this. Giannis Antetokounmpo was Milwaukee's best player, accumulating 23 points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocks. With that said, he scored just two points in the second half, going 1 - of - 8 from the field before fouling out with three minutes left. Jabari Parker finished with 23 points, five rebounds and two steals. Greg Monroe was the lone Milwaukee bench player in double figures, totaling 14 points and six rebounds. Milwaukee will travel for their next game, when they play the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.

Gasol earned a double - double, recording 17 points and 11 rebounds along with a blocked shot. As per usual in San Antonio, the leading scorer was superstar forward Kawhi Leonard, who had 21 points on the night. It was a below - average offensive night for the Spurs, but the team made up for it with solid defense. San Antonio held LA to under 100 points while grabbing nine steals and blocking seven shots. The Clippers (35 - 23), meanwhile, followed a blown lead against Golden State on Thursday with a disappointing loss to the Spurs on Friday.

The Milwaukee Bucks (15 - 23) emerged with the 96 - 95 home win against the Dallas Mavericks (21 - 16), Friday night. The Bucks held the lead for most of the game and were up by as many as 17 but Dallas battled back when it counted to make it a tight finish. The Mavs pulled ahead 95 - 94 with 30 seconds left, which was their first lead since being up 8 - 6 in the first quarter. However, some clutch defense by the Bucks got them a steal and a fast break layup that put them up one, for the win. Milwaukee broke a six - game losing streak against the Mavericks and also broke their three - game losing streak with this win. Khris Middleton continued his impressive play for Milwaukee. Middleton had 17 points by halftime and finished with a total of 27 points (10 - 18 FG. 7 - 9 FT), five assists and three rebounds, in 39 minutes.

The Spurs (31 - 8) jumped out to a major lead to start the game, holding a double - digit advantage in the first quarter. They only built on that lead from there, shooting a whopping 60 percent as a team en route to their highest - scoring game of the season. Reigning Defensive Player of the Year Kawhi Leonard led the team with 31 points on 10 - of - 13 shooting and came away with a pair of steals in 26 minutes. Veteran big man Pau Gasol added 22 points to go with nine rebounds and six assists.

The Memphis Grizzlies (1 - 1) defeated the Indiana Pacers (0 - 2) by a score of 112 - 103 on Thursday. The Pacers shifted Paul George back to his typical small forward spot before Thursday’s game, and gave offseason acquisition Jordan Hill his first start at power forward. The series of moves left opening night starting small forward, C.J. Miles, in a bench role, but the change did n't affect the veteran’s offense. Miles equaled his opening night scoring total of 18 points, and drained another four buckets from three - point range, just as he had versus the Raptors on Wednesday. After a dismal offensive showing in the opener versus the Cavaliers, the Grizzlies put together a balanced offensive attack to derail the Pacers, benefiting from a particularly productive night from their bench. Three veteran subs - - Jeff Green, Matt Barnes, and Beno Udrih - - tallied double - digit scoring, while Brandan Wright came just short with a nine - point effort. Marc Gasol led all Grizzlies starters with a gritty performance that saw him collect 20 points while hauling in eight boards, including a team - high seven on the defensive glass. Much like Miles, his Pacers counterpart at small forward, Green thrived in a reduced role after having started on opening night, coming in second in bench scoring for Memphis on Thursday with 12 points. The Grizzlies evened their record at 1 - 1 and momentarily slot a half game behind the Dallas Mavericks for first place in the Southwest Division of the Western Conference, pending the late Thursday outcome of the Mavericks-Clippers contest. Memphis heads home to face off against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. The Pacers put together a respectable offensive showing, but faltered down the stretch for their second consecutive defeat. Indiana entered the fourth quarter nursing a 75 - 73 lead, but saw the Grizzlies explode for 39 points in the final period to pull away. With two starters scoring in the single digits, Indiana placed the primary offensive load on the shoulders of Paul George and George Hill, who contributed 18 and 20 points, respectively. Miles also made his contributions off the bench to help keep the Pacers close for the majority of the game. Jordan Hill hauled in six boards in his first start but struggled offensively, amassing only four points. Fellow offseason signing Monta Ellis had trouble finding the net for the second consecutive game, shooting only 25 percent from the field (3 - for - 12) after a 27 percent night in the opener Wednesday. The Pacers fall to 0 - 2 and a last - place tie with the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference’s Central Division. They head home for a date with the Utah Jazz on Saturday.

In a game with little impact on shaping the playoff picture, the Denver Nuggets (32 - 44) beat the banged - up Memphis Grizzlies (41 - 34) 109 - 105. The Nuggets, though not mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, sit six games back from the eighth spot in the West. Wednesday's contest did help their case, however, as they were able to stave off a 37 - point fourth quarter from the Grizzlies and win. Rookie Emmanuel Mudiay led the starters with 17 points, while Sixth Man of the Year contender Will Barton exploded for 25 off the bench. The entire team saw efficient and effective shooting, hitting over 48 percent from the floor and sinking 13 three - pointers. The Grizzlies, meanwhile, have suffered due to the loss of star center Marc Gasol and point guard Mario Chalmers to injury. The team still sits at fifth in the West, but the Trail Blazers have crept within three games of the spot. On Wednesday, the team was carried by veteran Zach Randolph's 26 points. Forward Jeff Green also contributed 13 points and 12 rebounds off the bench. The team struggled from the line, however, hitting just 63 percent of its free - throws. The Nuggets will travel to New Orleans Thursday, while the Grizzlies will take on Toronto on Saturday.

The San Antonio Spurs (65 - 12) defeated the Utah Jazz (39 - 39) 88 - 86 on Tuesday. In a game between the two - best defenses in the league, they both showed what makes them so stingy. The teams played at a snail - like pace, as there were only 140 shots taken. The key for the Spurs was their ability to force turnovers, as they forced 16 turnovers while committing just eight turnovers of their own. The game was decided in the final seconds, as Kawhi Leonard hit a game - winning jumper with five seconds left. The Spurs didn’t play their prettiest game, but they escaped with a win. Kawhi Leonard not only hit the game - winner, but led the team with 18 points. LaMarcus Aldridge continues his good form, as he tallied 14 points, seven rebounds and four steals. The bench was solid as well, with Patty Mills, David West, Manu Ginobili and Kyle Anderson combining for 40 point, 10 assists and nine rebounds. Up next for San Antonio is a matchup with the Golden State Warriors on Thursday. This loss put the Jazz within a game of missing out on the playoffs, but they still sit a half game up in the eight - seed. Rodney Hood was the only player who could find some rhythm, as he scored a game - high 23 points. Joe Ingles had a nice game off the bench, as he scored 13. Utah's next game isn’t until Friday, when they play the Los Angeles Clippers in what's a crucial game for the Jazz.

The Philadelphia 76ers (3 - 31) upset the Sacramento Kings (12 - 20) 111 - 105 on Wednesday night. In a battle of two bad teams, poor execution was on display. Most notably, the shooting was bad all - around. Both teams shot shy of 62 percent from the free - throw line and both teams shot right around 30 percent from long distance. The Sixers are the most turnover prone team in the NBA, but they dominated that battle here, committing 13 to the Kings 22. The pace was incredible in this game as well, as there were a combined 168 shots and 75 combined free - throws. The Sixers are a revived team as of late and it directly correlates with the addition of Ish Smith. They have been competitive in three - straight games and committing far less turnovers. That's what a veteran point guard will bring to a team and it's clear they made a good move here after numerous poor decisions in the past. He was Philly's best player tonight, as he tallied 18 points, nine assists, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks in the win. Nerlens Noel also had a good game, as he collected 20 points, nine rebounds and four steals. Jahlil Okafor also made his return here from a knee injury and put in a double - double off the bench in just 20 minutes of play. In addition, Jerami Grant was extremely active in this game, as he recorded a double - double and pitched in seven combined blocks and steals in the game. Philadelphia has a good chance to continue their recent good stretch against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. This sort of game is a microcosm of the Kings season. The talent discrepancy on paper in this game was truly unfair, yet this game was close throughout and they trailed for the entirety of the second half. The sloppy play really killed this team, as they shot well but committed 22 turnovers. DeMarcus Cousins was Sacramento's best player, as he totaled 21 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks in the loss. Rajon Rondo also had a good game despite committing seven turnovers, as he amassed eight points, 14 assists and five rebounds. Marco Belinelli also had an impressive game off the bench, scoring a season - high 28 points. There were many instances throughout the game where the fans were booing their home team and that's a sad indication of where this franchise is right now. They'll host the Phoenix Suns in their next game on Saturday in a battle of disgruntled teams.

The San Antonio Spurs (51 - 9) defeated the visiting Detroit Pistons (31 - 30) 97 - 81, Wednesday night at AT & T Center. With this win the Spurs have clinched a post - season berth for the 19th season in a row, tying the Boston Celtics franchise (1951 - 1969) for the fourth longest streak of its kind. This also marks the earliest point in any of the previous 19 seasons that the Spurs have clinched. Meanwhile, the Pistons came in a formidable foe, as winners of four straight, but were held to 39 percent shooting from the field by the renowned Spurs defense. The Spurs have now won six straight and are a remarkable 290 at home this season. Dating back to last season the Spurs have won 38 in a row at home, which ties yet another Celtics record (1985, '86) for third most consecutive home victories. Kawhi Leonard led San Antonio in scoring, totaling 27 points (13 - 22 FG, 1 - 6 3Pt), along with six rebounds, five assists and two steals, in 36 minutes.

The only others to score double digits for the Spurs were Tim Duncan, who had 12 and Tony Parker with 10, however the bench kept up defensively and helped get the job done. Andre Miller made his debut with the squad after being signed last Monday. Miller played seven minutes, with two assists and zero turnovers. The Spurs shot a solid 51 percent from the field, showing they can do more than just defend. Detroit had its promising four - game win streak halted by the Spurs and remains amidst a heated battle for eighth in the East. Newest member of the Pistons, Tobias Harris racked up 16 points (7 - 16 FG, 1 - 1 3Pt, 1 - 2 FT), six rebounds and four assists, in 38 minutes, while Marcus Morris added another 16, in 32 minutes. Andre Drummond hauled in 14 boards, along with nine points, while Reggie Jackson was relatively quiet, finishing with 11 points, three rebounds and three assists, in 31 minutes.

The Golden State Warriors (63 - 13) continued their march to the playoffs with another convincing win Saturday, defeating the Dallas Mavericks (46 - 31), 123 - 110, at the American Airlines Center. Despite a quiet night from Steph Curry, the Warriors were able to cruise to their 12th straight victory. Curry finished with just 11 points on 4 - of - 12 shooting, but Marreese Speights and Andre Iguodala scored 18 apiece off the bench to help offset Curry's outing. Dallas could n't overcome a big fourth quarter deficit and never got closer than 12 points. With the win, Golden State completed the season sweep over Dallas. Golden State has lost just one game since early March, when it fell 114 - 103 to Denver on the 13th. The Warriors have been finding different ways to win, ranging from comebacks to nights where their stars are n't performing at their best. Draymond Green returned to action Saturday after being sidelined earlier in the week with a shin injury. Green finished with five points and six rebounds over 30 minutes on the floor. The Warriors have another big test on the horizon with a matchup against the red - hot Spurs set for Sunday.

The Indiana Pacers defeated the Utah Jazz 107 - 100 Monday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Paul George struggled for most of Monday's contest, but when the Pacers (36 - 34) needed him the most, the All-Star came though. With just 20 seconds remaining in the contest and his team up three, George let the clock wind down before pulling up from just behind the foul line. The jumper was good, and George's shot gave the Pacers their fifth straight home victory. George finished with 19 points on a poor 6 - of - 20 shooting from the field, but that sixth made field goal was all Indiana needed. Jeff Teague ended up leading the way offensive for the team, scoring a team - high 21 points to go along with 5 rebounds and five assists. As for the Jazz (43 - 28), they got a heroic performance from their own All-Star, Gordon Hayward, as he put up a career - high 38 points on 16 - of - 24 shooting from the field, but in the end, it just was n't enough. That was thanks in large part to the lack of depth Utah showed Monday night, as the seven reserves that saw for the floor for the Jazz combined to score just 17 points while four of the five starters scored in double figures.

The Atlanta Hawks (54 - 17) defeated the Orlando Magic (22 - 51) 95 - 83 on Wednesday at the Amway Center in Orlando. Taking their second loss in a row, the Magic were finally eliminated from playoff contention in the East. The Hawks, on the other hand, continued to build their lead as the top overall projected playoff seed. Despite losing five of their last ten games, they're still eight and a half games ahead of the second place Cleveland Cavaliers. Both teams struggled shooting the ball, as the Hawks went 43 percent from the field and 32 percent from the three - point line, while the Magic finished at 41 percent from the floor and just 19 percent from deep. Paul Millsap led the way for the Hawks, finishing with 25 points (9 - 20 FG, 2 - 5 3Pt, 5 - 5 FT), 11 rebounds and four blocked shots.

Jeff Teague shot the ball well, going 7 - for - 12 from the field and 2 - for - 3 from the three - point line to score 16 points, while also adding nine assists. He has n't necessarily been scoring all too much lately, considering he recorded 12 points or less in each of his last three games, so it was good to see the point guard have a little more success Wednesday. Nearly recording a double - double, Kyle Korver added 13 points (5 - 12 FG, 3 - 9 3Pt), eight rebounds and two blocked shots. He's now pushed his season averages to 12 points and 4 rebounds on the year. Both Al Horford and DeMarre Carroll reached double figures in points as well with 10 and 11 points respectively. The Magic received another strong contribution from Elfrid Payton, who nearly triple - doubled with 19 points (7 - 19 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 5 - 7 FT), nine rebounds and seven assists over 35 minutes. He's been filling up the stat sheet of late and doing a little bit of everything, as he's averaging 14 points, 9 rebounds, 10 assists and three steals over his last three games. Nikola Vucevic also did his best to keep the Magic in this game, finishing with 16 points (8 - 15 FG) and 12 rebounds. He's had a couple solid games in a row, combining for 36 points and 20 rebounds over his last two games. Victor Oladipo did n't necessarily have the best night shooting the ball, but chipped in with 16 points (4 - 10 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 8 - 9 FT) and four assists as well. Over his last three games, he's averaging 21 points, 6 rebounds and five assists, but is shooting just 38 percent from the field.

The Memphis Grizzlies (7 - 1) were able to hold off a late push from the Los Angeles Lakers (1 - 6) with a finishing score of 107 - 102 for their seventh win of the season. The Lakers just ca n't seem to get over the hump, and are off to a tough start through their first seven games of the season. Even with Kobe Bryant lighting up the box score with 28 points (10 - 26 FG, 3 - 10 3Pt, 5 - 6 FT), to go along with seven rebounds, six assists and four steals, it just was n't enough. The Lakers got some solid production from their starters, with all five players scoring in double figures, but the bench totaled just 14 points in the loss. Jordan Hill posted a double - double with 13 points (6 - 17 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 1 - 2 FT) and 14 rebounds, while also contributing three assists, two steals and two blocks.

The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the host Orlando Magic, 113 - 108, at Amway Center on Wednesday. While there were a lot of stars in this game, it's some of the undervalued players who had career nights.

The Denver Nuggets (26 - 41) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans (36 - 30) 118 - 111 on Sunday at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. With 12 seconds left in the game, Anthony Davis came up clutch for the Pelicans, hitting a jumper to put them up by two. On the next possession down, Kenneth Faried matched Davis and converted on a layup to tie the game up with just four seconds left in regulation. Davis then had a chance to win it at the buzzer, but his shot was long and rattled out of the hoop. In overtime, the Pelicans again had a three - point lead with just under 10 seconds left. Will Barton was the savior this time around and tied the game with a huge three - pointer for the Nuggets on the next possession, forcing it into a second overtime. The Pelicans struggled offensively in the second overtime, with Tyreke Evans scoring their only two points, and they went on to take a seven - point loss. This was a tough loss for the Pelicans, who are in a fierce battle for the eighth and final playoff seed in the Western Conference standings. They now sit a full game back from Oklahoma City for that eighth seed, so they'll need bounce back with a win on Tuesday. Despite taking the loss, Davis continued to play extremely well, as he finished with a game - high of 36 points (16 - 28 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 4 - 6 FT) to go along with 14 rebounds, seven assists and nine blocked shots. He did a little bit of everything in this game, nearly recording a quadruple - double by the end. Davis recorded his fifth double - double of his last six games, a six - game stretch where he's averaged 31 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks. Evans came just short of a triple - double of his own and posted 25 points (11 - 20 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 2 - 4 FT), nine rebounds and 10 assists. He's shot extremely well of late, finishing 55 percent or higher from the field in each of his last three games. Along with making a game - tying bucket at the end of regulation, Faried also posted 20 points (7 - 17 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 6 - 6 FT) and 10 rebounds in the win. With Jusuf Nurkic returning to the starting lineup at center, Faried was able to move back to his natural power forward position. The Nuggets also saw a strong bench effort, with both Barton and Jameer Nelson reaching double figures. Barton recorded 25 points (10 - 16 FG, 3 - 6 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT) and nine rebounds in 47 minutes while Nelson posted 18 points (7 - 16 FG, 4 - 8 3Pt) and six assists in 38 minutes.

The All-Star went just 4 - of - 20 from the field and turned the ball over three times. His fellow guards, Evan Turner and C.J. McCollum, picked up the slack, however, as they combined for 52 points on the night.

The Dallas Mavericks (25 - 19) defeated the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves (13 - 31) 106 - 94 in overtime at American Airlines Center on Wednesday.

However, Dallas turned it up for the overtime period, outscoring the Timberwolves 17 - 5 to win its second consecutive in OT. The Mavs were shorthanded, missing Dirk Nowitzki (knee), and Raymond Felton (eye).

Shabazz Muhammad was impactful in 35 minutes off the bench, finishing with 14 points (6 - 16 FG) and seven rebounds. Although, the Timberwolves did a good job competing in Dallas, too many turnovers meant their woes continue, as they are now 1 - 9 in their last 10. Minnesota will have a couple days rest before the Grizzlies come to town on Saturday. The Mavericks will have their hands full when they host the surging OKC Thunder on Friday.

Chris Paul's terrific start to the 2016 - 17 season has been a rather effortless one, as while he is averaging 19 points, 9 assists and 6 rebounds, he is doing so in just 30 minutes per game. Monday night was yet another example of Paul doing a lot in such a little amount of time, as he managed to record 24 points, eight assists and six rebounds in a mere 25 minutes. Paul has never averaged less than 32 minutes per game in a season, but he's remaining just as productive as he has been in seasons where he plays upward of 36 minutes. Paul is n't getting any younger and managing minutes is key for a player who has dealt with numerous injuries in his past, but the Clippers wo n't be losing a step for as long as Paul's efficiency goes up even as his minutes may go down.

It's a tight race for those final two projected playoff spots, with the Heat, Celtics, Hornets, Pacers and Nets all within three games of each other. The Celtics were the superior shooters in this game, going 51 percent from the floor and 27 percent from the three - point line, while the Nets went just 36 percent from the field and an embarrassing six percent from beyond the arc.

The Charlotte Hornets (28 - 26) defeated the Milwaukee Bucks (22 - 33) 98 - 95 on Friday. All the statistics made this look like a Bucks win, but that simply wasn’t the case. Milwaukee outrebounded the Hornets 47 - 38 and also outassisted them 22 to 13. It was the fourth quarter that made the difference for Charlotte, as they outscored the Bucks 28 - 17 over the final 12 minutes. The benches were not used very much in this contest, as only seven bench players were used between the two teams. Charlotte had won five of six going into the All-Star break and this comeback win is a great catalyst for the rest of the season. Al Jefferson made his long awaited return from a foot injury and played 23 minutes in the win. His replacement, Cody Zeller, obviously played with a chip on his shoulder, as he tallied a career - high 23 points and nine rebounds in the win. Kemba Walker had a nice all - around game, as he accumulated 25 points, six rebounds and four assists in the victory. Up next for the Hornets is a date with the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. Milwaukee has been using a different lineup recently and it's unclear if it's paying any dividends. Jabari Parker had one of his best games of the season though, as he amassed 23 points and 11 rebounds in the loss. Giannis Antetokounmpo finished the game with 18 points, 11 rebounds and four assists of his own. Greg Monroe had a terrible game off the bench, as he scored a measly four points while attempting just two shots and committing four turnovers in the defeat.

Tim Frazier helped them hold onto that lead, as the starting point guard finished with 21 points on 7 - of - 12 shooting and 14 assists in 35 minutes. Frazier's performance was necessary too, as Anthony Davis left in the second quarter with a right knee injury after diving into the crowd for a loose ball.

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Houston Rockets, 120 - 114, at Staples Center on Wednesday. The Lakers (10) brought in Luke Walton as their new head coach for the 2016 - 2017 season, and the new offense that involved an expected volume shooting from the perimeter, was effective enough to aid Los Angeles to a good start. The Lakers took 35 shots from behind the arc and sank 12 of them, and the 34 percent efficiency was enough to constantly keep Los Angeles within striking distance. The Rockets led for most of the game, but never by a controlling amount. Jordan Clarkson drained a 29 foot three - pointer with 1:47 left in the fourth quarter to take 116 - 112 lead, and followed Nene's banker with a quick two pointer to hold the lead at four points. D'Angelo Russell's sloppy turnover with seconds left gave the Rockets a bit of life, but they were unable to capitalize and the Lakers ran out the clock. James Harden was named point guard, and although his usage percentage was point guard - esque last season, the official designation was backed up by 17 assists. Harden made use of quick passes in transition and threaded the needle time and time again in the first half. The Rockets star player added 34 points and eight rebounds to his strong start to the season. Newly acquired Eric Gordon (19 points on 7 - of - 15 shooting) and Ryan Anderson (14 points on 6 - of - 15 shooting) were effective in the Harden led system. Clint Capela wasted no time taking Dwight Howard's spot under center with 16 points and nine boards in 26 minutes. Both teams hit the road on Friday, as the Rockets visit the Dallas Mavericks, while the Lakers visit the Utah Jazz.

The Atlanta Hawks (3 - 2) defeated the Washington Wizards (2 - 3) 82 - 81 on Wednesday at Philips Arena in Atlanta. After going back and forth all game long, the fourth quarter continued that trend. It started off with an 80 run by the Wizards, which was then followed up by a 140 run by the Hawks to put them up five with two and a half minutes left in the game. With just over 14 seconds left in regulation, Paul Pierce turned the ball over and DeMarre Carroll was able to get a fast break layup. Pierce then made up for the turnover though and hit a three - pointer from the corner to put the Wizards up one with just eight seconds left. The hero was Al Horford though. Horford was able to grab an offensive rebound with just over a second left and drop it back in for the game - winning bucket, giving the Hawks a 3 - 2 lead in the series. The Hawks shot 41 percent from the field and just 23 percent from the three - point line, while they also committed 25 turnovers, but were still able to come out with the victory. A large amount of that credit goes to center Al Horford. Along with his game - winning bucket, Horford finished with 23 points (10 - 18 FG, 1 - 1 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT), 11 rebounds and five blocked shots over 37 minutes. After struggling in their first round matchup with the Brooklyn Nets, Horford has really made his presence felt here in the semifinals, as he's averaged 18 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks so far this series. That five - game stretch includes four double - doubles. Millsap received some help from both Paul Millsap and Jeff Teague though. Millsap posted 14 points (6 - 14 FG, 0 - 3 3Pt, 2 - 3 FT), seven rebounds and a blocked shot, while Teague recorded 14 points (6 - 13 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt) and five assists. The two did combine to record a whopping 13 of the team's 25 total turnovers though, so they'll have to clean that up before game six. Kyle Korver shot just 1 - of - 5 from the three - point line to score only three points, but he did notch six steals, marking a new playoff - high. Despite having five non - displaced fractures in his left wrist and hand, John Wall made his return to the lineup and finished with 15 points (7 - 15 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 1 - 2 FT), seven assists and four steals. He also had six turnovers though, so it was n't all good for the guard. Wall did n't seem to show any apprehension with his hand injury, often diving for loose balls and looking to grab a rebound in traffic, so that was good news for the Wizards even though they eventually came out with the loss. Fellow backcourt member Bradley Beal also did as much as he could to lead this team to a win. He went 9 - for - 21 from the field but just 1 - for - 5 from the three - point line to score a team - high of 23 points, while also adding seven rebounds and four assists. Beal has hit at least two three - pointers in seven out of eight games this postseason, but he could n't get into a rhythm Wednesday. So far this series, Beal is averaging 24 points over five games. Marcin Gortat chipped in with 14 points (7 - 10 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt) and eight rebounds as well. Game six will be played on Friday in Washington.

They were led by Gordon Hayward’s game - high 24 points, and the small forward has now recorded at least 20 points in three straight games. Derrick Favors was also effective, recording 18 points and nine rebounds in 33 minutes. Rodney Hood scored 14 points in 35 minutes, while Alex Burks (13) and Trey Burke (11) each reached double figures off the bench. It was a disastrous night from the Suns’ starters, as the unit combined to score just 30 points, with Eric Bledsoe scoring just eight points on 2 - of - 10 shooting in 26 minutes. The only reason the team put up a somewhat respectable point total was Brandon Knight’s effort in his new role off the bench, as he scored a game - high 26 points in 35 minutes as a reserve. Mirza Teletovic scored 17 points in 21 minutes off the bench and was the only other Phoenix player to score in double figures. Overall, it was simply too inefficient of a night for the Suns, as they shot under 40 percent from the field and recorded just 12 assists to 13 turnovers. Up next, the Jazz will travel to Oakland Wednesday to take on the Warriors, while the Suns will head home Wednesday to play the Nuggets.

The Toronto Raptors (31 - 15) picked up a win over their division rival New York Knicks (22 - 26) Thursday night at Air Canada Centre, 103 - 93. The Raptors led for the entirety of the final three quarters as the Knicks were playing shorthanded without Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Carmelo Anthony (knee) in uniform.

Jonas Valancunius scored 11 points on a poor shooting night (4 - 16) but was a beast on the glass, as he grabbed 18 rebounds (eight offensive).

After signing a $57 million contract this offseason, J.R. Smith has had an unreliable, up - and - down season so far for the Cavaliers. While he has battled a knee injury in this young season, he's been hit or miss, literally, whenever he has been healthy and on the floor. Wednesday night was a miss, a big one, as he shot just 4 - of - 15 from the field and 0 - of - 3 from behind the arc in 25 minutes. That performance marked the seventh time this season that Smith has shot under 30 percent from the field and from long range. Smith is coming off a career - best 40 percent mark from behind the arc last season, and while he is still shooting a respectable 35 percent on three - pointers this season, he is shooting even a worse percentage overall at 33 percent. That would qualify as the worst mark of his career since his second season in the league in 2005 - 6.

The host Toronto Raptors edged out the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, 112 - 106. Toronto (35 - 24) has now won three straight after a complete collapse during the month of January. The Raps are tied with Washington for third in the East and trail Boston by three games for the second seed. Despite missing star point guard Kyle Lowry, Toronto was able to hold on for the win on Sunday. This was largely due to the play of All-Star DeMar DeRozan, who led the team with 33 points on 9 - of - 16 shooting and a stellar 15 - of - 16 from the free - throw line. The Raptors offense as a whole functioned at a very high level throughout the game. The team shot almost 54 percent from the field and saw an additional 18 points come from newly - added big man Serge Ibaka. Ibaka also had 10 rebounds, two steals, and two blocks. Portland (24 - 34) is quickly losing ground in the tight Western Conference playoff race. Sunday did the team no favors, as they were defeated quite narrowly by the Lowry-less Raptors. Damian Lillard led the team with 28 points and shot an efficient 10 - of - 20. He added eight assists. The team was relatively quiet on the inside, due in part to center Jusuf Nurkic being limited to just 21 minutes of play. Nurkic, a relatively new Trail Blazer who was acquired in a trade with deadline, had two teeth knocked out during a collision in the game. It did not keep him out of commission for too long, however, as the young big man simply handed the teeth to a trainer and readied himself to play again. The Blazers will visit Detroit on Tuesday while Toronto will see New York.

This was the second game in as many nights for the Celtics but they showed no signs of fatigue. Contrarily, the Wizards came into this game after a four - day break.
