Philadelphia (13:28) – Milwaukee (14:26) 109: 105, PJ Tucker moved to Bucks
One of the most interesting deals of the season was made during the night when the Bucks, who managed to beat the Sixers in overtime, managed to take PJ Tucker from the Houston Rockets. For the combative forward who is supposed to help Milwaukee fight for the championship, Houston will get DJ Augustine, DJ Wilson, the unprotected first-round pick in the 2023 draft and also the option to replace her second-round pick in the 2021 draft with the Bucks’ first-round pick. Unless the same choice falls below places 1 to 9.
After all that, Milwaukee lined up for the game against Philadelphia that continues to play without Joel Ambide but gave a big fight that dragged into overtime, where Yannis Antocompo and his teammates were too big on them with a five-pointer in double figures. The Greek freak led with 32 points and 15 rebounds, Donta Divincenzo added 20, Jero Holiday 19, Chris Middleton 15 and Brock Lopez 14. Philly was led by Tobias Harris with 19 points.
Dallas (18:21) – Clippers (16:26) 89: 105
A great play by Luka Doncic with 42 points, 9 assists and 6 rebounds led the Mavericks to a big win over the team from Los Angeles. The Slovenian did whatever he wanted and abused quite a few players who tried to keep him, including Paul George. Kritspas Forzingis added 11 points and 13 rebounds as all of the top five players finished with double digits. George did not face defensively against Luca, but provided 28 points on the other side while Kwai Leonard scored 20.
Denver (16:24) – Charlotte (19:20) 104: 129: 28 points and 13 rebounds for Michael Porter Jr. who excelled, triple double for Nikola Jukic who settled for 12 points along with 10 assists and 10 rebounds.
Indiana (22:17) – Brooklyn (13:28) 124: 115: Without Kyrie Irving and with a lack of staff, James Harden led the Nets with a wonderful triple-double of 40 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds.
Detroit (29:11) – Toronto (23:17) 112: 116: The Pistons surprised with a much-achieved victory thanks to Sadiq Bay who scored 28 and added 12 rebounds, in front of a performance by Norman Powell who sniped 43 on the other side with 14 of 18 from the field.
Cleveland (25:15) – Boston (20:20) 110: 117: Colin Sexton with 29 points and Darius Garland with 25 led the Cubs to a surprise victory over the Celtics, with Jason Taitum standing out as usual with 29 and Jaylen Brown with 28.
