Boston's 144-106 win over Philadelphia was the lopsided result of the night. Atlanta and Minnesota were the only visitors to escape with narrow road wins, over Indiana and Miami. Four games are on tap Sunday, including two ESPN windows, and the injury report is heavier on rest than on new injuries, with several contenders resting key rotation players.
Last night
Boston's 144-106 win over Philadelphia was the largest margin of the night, and the only game decided by more than eight points. The only road wins came from Atlanta, which beat Indiana 119-117, and Minnesota, which needed every possession to top Miami 125-124. Every other home team held serve: Toronto beat the Clippers 114-106, Washington beat Detroit 114-108, Golden State beat Sacramento 111-106, and Phoenix beat San Antonio 102-98. Boston's 144 points were the most scored by any team on the night.
Tonight
Four games fill tonight's board, topped by two appearances on ESPN. Dallas visits Houston at 6:00 a.m. ET on NBA TV, the rare early-morning tip on the schedule. ESPN has the next two national windows: Orlando at Cleveland at 6:30 p.m. ET, then Chicago at Denver to close the night at 9:00 p.m. ET. Milwaukee is at Charlotte at 7:00 p.m. ET without national coverage.
The injury wire
Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton is day-to-day with a right ankle injury. Sacramento's Maxime Raynaud is day-to-day with a knee injury. Detroit's Cade Cunningham is day-to-day for rest. Atlanta got Jalen Johnson and Luguentz Dort back off the day-to-day list, though Dorian Finney-Smith and Nickeil Alexander-Walker were held out for rest. Toronto has three day-to-day cases: Chucky Hepburn (hamstring), Alijah Martin (knee) and Trayce Jackson-Davis (teeth). Oklahoma City, Minnesota, Miami and Philadelphia each listed most of their rotation as day-to-day for rest, including Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Anthony Edwards, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid.
Moves and reports
There were no confirmed roster moves to report. Anthony Slater reported that Sacramento's Maxime Raynaud left the court in a wheelchair after a knee injury, a report carrying 58 percent confidence. Lower-confidence reports, each at 45 percent, say the Pelicans signed Jalon Moore, that Kyle Filipowski is still recovering from offseason back surgery, that Golden State and Brandin Podziemski agreed to a five-year extension, and that Josh Hart reacted to the Knicks tabling his extension talks.
