Former EuroLeague champion Joe Ingles matched his career-high with 27 points, French big man Rudy Gobert had 22 points and 18 rebounds, and the Jazz ran their winning streak to 10 games by beating the Nets 118-107.

Donovan Mitchell returned from illness to score 25 points and Croatian Bojan Bogdanovic had 18 for the Jazz, who opened a 20-point lead and never looked back.

Kyrie Irving had 32 points and a season-high 11 assists in his second game back from a shoulder injury, but he was almost a non-factor in the game.

The Bucks got an easy 128-102 victory over the New York Knicks with the Greek Freak Giannis Antetokounmpo doing all his work in just 21 minutes, sinking 12 of 17 field-goal attempts and 10 of 12 free throws for 37 points while adding nine rebounds and four assists.

The Dallas Mavericks beat the Golden State Warriors 124-97 with Slovenian sensation Luka Doncic having 20 points and eight rebounds. Latvian star Kristaps Porzingis, who had been listed as questionable, sat out an eighth straight game.

The Hawks pulled away late to beat the Phoenix Suns 123-110 with the losing side missing Spaniard Ricky Rubio who didn’t travel to Atlanta for personal reasons.

The Grizzlies outscored the Houston Rockets 36-27 in the fourth quarter Tuesday night as Memphis pulled away for a 121-110 victory as rookie guard Ja Morant had 26 points and eight assists, and Lithuanian Jonas Valanciunas added 19 points.

Last but not least, Kawhi Leonard scored a season-high 43 points in three quarters as the Los Angeles Clippers routed the Cleveland Cavaliers 128-103.
