LA Clippers (16:17) - Denver (16:16) 103: 100
After suffering two straight losses against weak rivals, the Nuggets came back to win in their rather frustrating season at the expense of the Clippers, who of course missed the injured Paul George. But even when Denver wins, it's going very hard for her. Luke Kenard sniped a three that set up only 100: 101 for Denver with 20 seconds left. Denver took a timeout and Baldesso sent Jukic to the line who withstood the pressure and scored twice. The Clippers were given a chance to force overtime with 12.7 seconds left, but Brandon Boston missed a hard three. Jukic contributed 26 points, 8 assists and no fewer than 22 rebounds for Denver but did not get much help, with only Will Barton rising 17 points. On the other hand, Eric Baldson scored 18 and added 10 assists and tried to make up for the lack of Reggie Jackson, Brandon Boston added 18 from the bench, but missed the most important shot.
Sacramento (21:13) - Memphis (14:20) 127: 102
After three straight losses, Ja Morant and his teammates exploded on the unfortunate Kings with a purposeful display especially in the third quarter where the visitors escaped to a double-digit lead with 27:40 and increased it in the final quarter. Desmond Bain contributed 28 points, Ja Morant is starting to come back to himself and was excellent with 18 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds while Jaren Jackson adds 21 for the winners. Tyrese Haliberton again led the Kings with 18 points, but Buddy the Boy (2) contributed nothing from the bench and also D'Iron Fox was below his level with just 12 points.
Oklahoma City (20:12) - New Orleans (22:12) 112: 117
Pelicans star Brandon Ingram was injured at the end of the first quarter of the game and made the job easier for the hosts who enjoyed, as usual, an excellent play by Shay Gilges Alexander who led them with 31 points.
Rookie Aaron Wiggins added a record in his short career with 24 points.
On the other hand, Josh Hart was passionate with 29 and 10 rebounds for the Pelicans, who also received 22 from Gareth Temple, but the weak defense was again at their backs.
Led Chicago to victory.

Just hours before this game Chicago was informed that Lonzo Ball also entered the Corona Protocol. But to her delight, Zack Lavine returned to the floor and led it to a third consecutive victory with 32 points. The excellent Damar Drusen added 24 and Nikola Wojciech added 16 and 15 rebounds for the Bulls, who enjoy a very talented roster this year and can go far in the playoffs. The Pacers, who again lost in a close game mostly due to a poor second quarter, got 27 points from Chris Lewart, Domantas Savonis came back from injury with 14 points and 16 rebounds and Miles Turner contributed 16, but it was not enough.
Cleveland (13:20) - Toronto (16:14) 99: 144
The Corona blow only slightly slowed Cleveland, which continues its excellent season and tonight ran over the Canadians with another purposeful display in a game in which the Cubs equaled a club record with no less than 46 points in the third quarter. Kevin Love and Darius Garland scored 22 points each for the Cubs, Laurie Markanen contributed 20 and 8 assists for Cleveland, which led by a record of 47 points against a very lacking team. It was Cleveland's biggest win of the season and on the other hand it's the first time the Raptors have lost over 17 points this season. Utah Watanbra led the Raptors with 26 points and 13 rebounds, and Chris Bush added 21 that were far from enough.
San Antonio (18:14) - Detroit (27: 5) 109: 144
Sparta star Jonathon Marie had to go into isolation before the start of this game, but he was not really lacking for Greg Popovich and his players, who ran over an unfortunate opponent with a season-high record on points.
Caldon Johnson led the Spurs with 27 points, Joke Landel added 18 from the bench for the Spurs, who enjoyed a very balanced points contribution.
Hamido Diallo scored 28 points for the Pistons, who were five players short due to the Corona Protocol.
Miami (13:21) - Orlando (27: 7) 83:93
A comfortable hit in the Florida Derby, despite an unimpressive display.
The first half was close, but in the third quarter Miami managed to escape to plus 15 (48:63) and from there did not look back and sailed for a third consecutive victory.
Jimmy Butler contributed 17 points and 11 rebounds, Caleb Martin scored 17 of his own and Omar Yurtsvan added 16 and 15 points and rebounds for the winner.
Gary Harris led the weak Magic with 20 points and RJ Hampton scored 14.
