Only three games were played tonight (between Sunday and Monday) in the NBA league – but one Yanis Antetokounmpo would have been enough to provide a single presentation that would definitely be enough. The Milwaukee superstar was hot with a massive double-double of 50 points and 13 rebounds and led the Bucks to 110:135 over New Orleans.
Milwaukee (17:33) – New Orleans (25:26) 110:135
The Bucks were big on the Pelicans and started the game with a storm when they scored 37 points in the first quarter alone. The second quarter (25:25) and the third (44:44) were actually closer, but it was not enough for the guest who, as mentioned, suffered from a huge night from Yanis, who was joined by Jaro Holiday with 17 points and arranged a fourth victory for the Bucks. On the other hand, Jose Alvarado’s 18 points were not enough for the Pelicans.

The Cubs looked great and conceded only 24 points in the first half, when despite the 42 they conceded in the last minute – they completed a crushing victory over the team from Los Angeles. Chad Osman was Cleveland’s man with 29 points off the bench, joined by Darius Garland with a double-double of 16 points and 10 assists. Donovan Mitchell was content with only 11 points, while Brandon Boston Jr.’s 24 points did not help the team from the City of Angels either.
Memphis (18:32) – Indiana (28:24) 100:112
J. Morant, and every other word is unnecessary. The guard completed a triple-double of 27 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds, while Jaren Jackson Jr. was also on fire with 28 of his own. The Pacers actually led by 12 points at the end of the first half, but a great comeback by the Grizzlies, who held the visitors to only 38 points in the second half, arranged a return to the winning track for them. Benedict Mathurin stood out for Indiana with 27 points and 8 rebounds off the bench.
