After two straight losses, the Pelicans and Wizards needed a win. It is the first that breathes and thus pushes the second, always lacking Bradley Beal.
For the Grizzlies, Ja Morant’s absence is being handled well. The playmaker has been out for two games, but the franchise is still riding a nice seven-game winning streak. The Grizzlies still have the same record as Western Conference leader Denver.
New York-Milwaukee Boston – Chicago Denver – LA Lakers Sacramento-Orlando
Washington-New Orleans: 112-132
A frustrating night for the Wizards. But they started the game with a score of 10:0 from the right side. CJ McCollum (34 points) will wake up with twelve points in the first quarter and lead his team into the game. Having negotiated the end of the first period well, the first gap is made for New Orleans.
It was early in the final quarter that the Pelicans really got a break against a team that had a lot of turnovers: They started the final drive with a big 15-0 run, and at the same time, Kyle Kuzma went for a pick-six. rule violations. The end of the match is in no doubt, and Washington bows.

Memphis-San Antonio: 121-113
The Grizzlies, without Ja Morant for the second straight game, are still winning. The Memphis collective generally mastered the first round. Spurs are more threatening in the third quarter.
Several baskets from Josh Richardson and loose balls from Tennessee players even allowed the Texans to take a five-point lead in the final quarter. The teams were tied at 109 after Tyus Jones (24 points) and the Grizzlies went on a deadly 11-2 run to win.
