Milwaukee (13:23) - Washington (21:17) 118:95
The great era of Washington and Danny Avdia continues: the Israeli forward recorded a fifth double-double of the season and his team achieved a fifth victory in a row, this time a very impressive victory in Milwaukee.
The Bucks are indeed missing their star Giannis Antetokounmpo as well as Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday, but that does not detract from the fact that the Wizards' offensive game continues to flow and Abdiya is a key part of that.
Avdia got 29 minutes from the bench and contributed 11 points (5 of 12), 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and also 4 turnovers.
Avdia was not accurate outside the arc (0-for-3), but he was aggressive and penetrated the basket repeatedly and embarrassed the Bucks defense.
Roy Hachimura led again with 26 points and Kristaps Porzingis added 22 for Washington, which dismantled its opponent with 17:34 already in the first quarter and in fact overwhelmed it already at the start when in the next three quarters the identity of the winner was already clear.
Daniel Gafford added 17 for Washington, which itself was missing the injured Bradley Beal.
Bobby Portis scored 19 points for Milwaukee, which in two days will host Washington again and hope to get back at least Antetokounmpo.

Denver (12:24) - Boston (11:26) 111:123
The team with the best balance in the league was hosted by the best home team in the league, which ended up winning 14 of 17 home games and establishing itself as the leader of the Western Conference.
The wonderful Nikola Jokic recorded another triple double of 30 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists and almost didn't miss (10 of 13).
Bruce Brown added 21 for the Nuggets, who shot 57 percent from the field and hit 17 3-pointers from just 30 attempts.
It was Denver's 10th win in 12 games, which ended a six-game losing streak against the Celtics in what could be the season finale.
Jaylen Brown scored 30 points for Boston and Jayson Tatum added 25 but had a bad start to the game as Boston made only 9 three-pointers out of 33 attempts and saw Denver open a significant lead already in the first quarter.
By the way, the game was stopped for fifteen minutes in the third quarter because of Robert Williams' ring that hung on the basket and damaged the ring.
Derrick White (13) was the only one to score in double figures besides the Celtics' two stars.
Memphis (13:23) - Sacramento (16:19) 108:118
Jay Morant again excited with 35 points, Memphis recorded an escape in the last quarter to beat Sacramento and stick with Denver in the lead of the West.
Tyus Jones added 18 for the Bears and Jaren Jackson continued to be the defensive anchor with 14 and 3 blocks.
Morant added 8 rebounds and 5 assists while Steven Adams tied a career high with 23 rebounds.
The Kings lost despite 19 points from Fox, 18 from Malik Monks and a double-double from Sabonis Jr. with 18 and 14 rebounds.
