Just before the Christmas games and in the shadow of the corona plague plaguing the league, ten games were played tonight in the NBA in addition to the Washington Wizards' victory over Madison Square Garden.
Dallas (16:15) - Milwaukee (13:21) 102: 95
Yannis Antocompo has been absent for the fifth game in a row following the Corona Protocol, but that hasn’t stopped Chris Middleton from scoring 26 points and leading the champion to victory in Texas.
He got help from an unexpected direction - veteran chin Demarcus Cousins scoring 22 points alongside 8 rebounds.
The Mavericks, who lacked the sick Luka Doncic and other players, went down to a negative balance.

Golden State (6:26) - Memphis (14:19) 104: 113
For the fifth time this season Steph Kerry is crossing the 40-point mark in the game - tonight he had 46 of those (8 of 14 off the arc), who arranged a fifth win in the last six games for the Warriors.
Gary Peyton Jr. assisted the league's king of threes with 22 points and that was enough against 21 of Ja Morant and his teammates, who recorded a second straight loss.

Phoenix (5:26) - Oklahoma City (20:11) 101: 113
With Devin Booker, the Suns can't be stopped.
The runner-up recorded a fifth straight and eighth win in the last ten games thanks to 30 points by the guard.
Morning received help from Came Johnson who scored 21 points, Diandra Eyton (19) and Chris Paul (16 points and 7 assists) - and extended Phoenix's winning streak to 20 as he played.
On the other side 29 points from Shay Gilges Alexander were not enough, and the Thunder were stopped after three consecutive wins.

Utah (9:22) - Minnesota (17:15) 116: 128
After the loss to Washington, the Jazz have returned to the winning track with their 11th in the last 14 games, and also quite easily.
Minnesota lacked Carl Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards, so the Jazz had no trouble winning with Donovan Mitchell leading with 28 points and Rudy increasing with a double-double of 20 points and 17 rebounds alongside 4 blocks.
Malik Beasley, on the other hand, scored 33 points for the visitors.
