Danny Abdia vs. Denver (Reuters)
Washington (17: 9) – Denver (13:15) 128: 130
A very big win for the Wizards over the strong Nuggets, but another game in which Danny Abdia rarely plays. The Israeli forward received only 21 minutes, in which he scored 3 and added 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Coach Scott Brooks, who started the season with the Rockies in the top five, especially in position 3, abandoned this idea and in recent games has played with three guards – Russell Westbrook,
Bradley Bill and Grayson Matthews. This time the one who won the game for him is actually Davis Bartens who came off the bench and sniped 35 points, with 9 of 11 from outside the arc. All of his points were actually scored outside the arc and from the penalty line. At the same time, Bill was the one to decide from the penalty line and finished with 25 points. Westbrook recorded a triple-double with 12 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists.
Boston (14:14) – Atlanta (16:12) 122: 114
Trey Young with 40 points swept the Hawks to an away win over the Celtics. Clint Capella added 24 points, 13 rebounds and one block and John Collins scored another 20 en route to a delightful win that interrupted a losing streak. Boston received 35 points from Jason Taitum and 22 from Jaylen Brown but failed to leverage its impressive win in the previous game against Denver.
Minnesota (22: 7) – Indiana (14:15) 134: 128
The Pacers needed overtime to get a win and Demontes Savonis led with an impressive triple-double of 36 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists. Malcolm Brogdon added 32 points and Jeremy Lamb 18. Indiana played with a very short roster and only 8 players took part in the game. Minnesota was led by Carl Anthony Towns who recovered from a corona and injury and had 30 points and 10 rebounds, Malik Beasley who lost his place in the top five, shelled 31 off the bench.
Philadelphia (10:19) – Houston (17:11) 113: 118
Joel Ambide came back after a brief rest and finished with 31 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists that helped the Sixers beat the Rockets. Seth Kerry continued his good season with 25 points, Tobias Harris scored another 24 and dropped 15 rebounds while Ben Simmons was absent due to illness. Houston was led by John Wall with 28 points.
Chicago (15:12) – Detroit (20: 8) 102: 105: Zac Lavine excelled with 37 points against Jeremy Grant’s 43 on the other side who did not have enough.
Orlando (18:11) – New York Knicks (16:14) 89: 107: Terence Ross led the Magic to a big home win.
