Boston (21:46) - Portland (35:31) 93:115



After suffering three consecutive losses, Boston exploded on Portland thanks to the performance of Jayson Tatum who scored 30 points in a game in which he made six three-pointers.

It was Tatum's 36th game of the season with at least 30 points, as he got plenty of help from Derrick White who added 21 and veteran Mal Horford who dominated the paint with 17 points as well as 6 rebounds and assists.

Damian Lillard scored 27 for the disappointing Portland and also added 8 assists, but Norkic's return did not prevent the guests from losing 14 of 20 away games and falling out of the top ten in the West.



New Orleans (34:32) - Dallas (33:34) 106:113



Dallas big star Luka Doncic injured his thigh in the third quarter after scoring 15 points and in his absence CJ McCollum took over the game with 13 of his 32 in the final four minutes to keep the win in New Orleans.

Doncic was not the only "victim" of this game, when Brandon Ingram, the host star, also injured his right ankle in the second quarter and did not return to play.

In Luka's absence, Kyrie took command with 27 points.

Timmy Hardaway Jr. added 17 for Dallas, which lost its fourth in six games and continues to lose ground since Kyrie's big trade.

A worrying injury.

Miami (32:35) - Cleveland (26:42) 104:100 A



difficult and important victory for Cleveland, which continues its excellent season and enjoyed 25 points from the excellent Darius Garland and 18 from Donovan Mitchell.

The Cubs allowed Miami to shoot 57 percent in the first three quarters, but held the Heat to 17 points in the third quarter on just 29 percent and are 2 wins away from what they accomplished all of last season as they currently occupy fourth place in the East.

Jimmy Butler was hot for the hosts with 28 points, Tyler Hero and Bam Adebayo added 17 each, but Miami recorded a season-high 24 turnovers that led to 29 points for the visitors.



Phoenix (29:38) - Oklahoma (36:31) 101:132



Kevin Durant was supposed to make his home debut in the Phoenix uniform, but was already injured in the warm-up when he fell badly on his ankle and is now expected to be out, which the Suns hope will not be prolonged.

The hosts managed easily even without their new star as they enjoyed 44 points in just 28 minutes from Devin Booker who blazed against the lack of defense of the visitors, who were missing the excellent Shea Gilges Alexander.

Terrence Ross added 24 for Phoenix, which recorded its fourth straight victory and established itself in fourth place in the West.

Chris Paul also starred with 18 points, 9 assists and 4 steals.

Denver (21:46) - Chicago (36:30) 117:95



Only fifth home loss this season for Denver, which collapsed in the last quarter.

Chicago records a surprising and impressive victory for them and this is bad news for Avdia and Washington who saw the Bulls closing in on them in the battle for the 10th place in the East.

Nikola Vucevic scored 25 points and added 15 rebounds and Zach Lavin was hot with 29 in excellent percentages (12 of 18).

Nikola Jokic scored 18 points and added 12 rebounds and "only" 8 assists for the hosts, but scored only 7 of 16 from the field.

Aaron Gordon added 17 for the hosts who, as mentioned, recorded a very rare home loss this season but are still safely leading the West over Memphis who is losing ground without Morant.
