Boston (23:51) - Indiana (41:33) 95:120
Jayston Tatum broke Larry Bird's record and led the Celtics to an easy home victory over the Pacers.
The local star scored 34 points and thus recorded his 40th game of the season in which he scores over 30 points, breaking the legendary record of Bird who did it in 39 games in the Celtics uniform in the 1987/88 season.
Jaylen Brown also starred with 27 points and Derek White added 22 and 9 assists.
In Indiana, Myles Turner and Tyrese Halliburton scored 20 points each.
Toronto (38:36) - Detroit (58:16) 97:118
Pascal Siakam scored 32 points and Chris Boucher had a double-double of 19 points and 13 rebounds on the way to the Raptors' eighth home win in the last nine games they hosted, having only lost to Indiana three days ago.
Fred Van Vliet also had 18 points and OJ Anonovy added 17 as the locals completed a sweep of the Pistons for the fourth time since the 2017/18 season.
Jayden Ivy scored 20 points and added 8 assists for the guest.
Memphis (27:46) - Houston (56:18) 114:151
The Grizzlies secured their playoff spot and did so in style.
Luke Kennard scored 30 points from 10 3-pointers - out of 11 shots - and became the first player in league history to finish with 10 3-pointers on over 90 percent of the field.
As mentioned, Kennard did not score a two-point basket at all and in total Memphis scored 25 three-pointers at 59.5 percent.
At the break, Memphis already led by 31 thanks to 83 points scored, with Desmond Bain and Jaren Jackson Jr. also standing out with 25 and 18 points respectively.
Tarry Eason with 21 points led Houston's scorers.
Their place in the play-in is in jeopardy.

Dallas (38:36) - Charlotte (51:24) 117:109
Kyrie Irving returned to play and collaborate with Luka Doncic after about two and a half weeks, but the Mavericks suffered a loss that complicates them in the fight for the tenth place that leads to the play-in.
Doncic scored 34 points, pulled down 10 rebounds and handed out 8 assists and Irving scored 18 points, grabbed 9 rebounds and handed out 7 assists, but it wasn't enough against the Hornets - who had long lost a chance this season - who at the top led by 21 thanks to P.J. Washington and Gordon Hayward who scored 28 and 25 points respectively.
Utah (38:35) - Milwaukee (20:53) 144:116
Lauri Markkanen was absent from the meeting and it seemed that the locals gave up the game against the leader of the East from the start.
The Bucks scored 40 points already at the end of the first quarter which ended at 25:40, increased the difference in the third quarter and cruised to victory.
Grayson Allen with 25 points led the Milwaukee scorers, and not Giannis Antetokounmpo who settled for 24 points (10 of 13 from the field), 11 assists and 6 rebounds for 25 points.
Brook Lopez had an impressive double-double, scoring 17 points, pulling down 14 rebounds and recording no less than seven blocks.
