Clippers 112, Pistons 99

Kawhi Leonard delivered a career-high 55 points to match the franchise record and powered the Los Angeles Clippers to a 112-99 win over Detroit, extending their winning streak to a season-best four games. James Harden scored 28 and Nicolas Batum added 12 as the Clippers won their third straight at home after an ugly stretch of eight consecutive home losses.

With multiple absences, Los Angeles leaned into a veteran look, starting Harden, Brook Lopez, and Batum (all 36+), and with Leonard in the mix the Clippers became the first team since 2016 to start four players aged 34 or older. Leonard looked anything but old, detonating for 26 points in the third quarter and finishing 17-of-26 with five threes, 11 rebounds, five steals, and three blocks. If you’re tracking “veteran legs on a back-to-back” angles, this is the type of spot that can flip quickly on the live board—worth watching on NBA odds and scores as in-game pace and foul trouble shift totals.

Cade Cunningham scored 27 (all after halftime) and Jalen Duren added 18 for Detroit, which dropped consecutive games for only the second time this season.

Raptors 141, Warriors 127 (OT)

Scottie Barnes posted his seventh career triple-double and Toronto dominated overtime to beat Golden State. Barnes finished with 23 points, a career-high 25 rebounds, and 10 assists—Toronto’s first-ever 20-20 triple-double—helping the Raptors rally from 13 down in the third before opening overtime with a 10-0 burst.

Immanuel Quickley scored 27 and Brandon Ingram added 26, while RJ Barrett returned from a 15-game absence and contributed 12. Stephen Curry scored 39 for the Warriors as their three-game win streak ended, and Draymond Green added 21.

Trail Blazers 114, Celtics 108

Shaedon Sharpe scored 26 and Deni Avdija stuffed the stat sheet (24 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds) as Portland snapped a three-game skid by stunning Boston. Toumani Camara added 20, Donovan Clingan logged a monster 18 points and 18 rebounds, and the Blazers closed the game on a decisive 5-0 run to end a six-game losing streak against the Celtics.

Jaylen Brown poured in 37 with seven rebounds for Boston as its four-game win streak ended. In spots like this—underdog energy, rebounding edge, late-game execution—the best habit is checking whether the market gave you a playable number pregame or if the value only appeared live, which you can track on NBA odds and scores.

Thunder 129, 76ers 104

Chet Holmgren scored 29 as Oklahoma City snapped a two-game skid with a convincing home win over Philadelphia. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 27 points and five assists with just one turnover, Aaron Wiggins scored 15 off the bench, and Jalen Williams added 14.

Philadelphia was without Joel Embiid (ankle sprain and knee injury management). Tyrese Maxey scored 28, but cooled off late—15 in the first quarter and only five in the second half—while no other 76er topped 13. If you’re handicapping this kind of game, the biggest driver is often availability and role redistribution, which is exactly why the Bettor’s Handbook emphasizes waiting on news-driven numbers.

Wizards 116, Grizzlies 112

Alex Sarr posted 20 points, nine rebounds, and a career-high six blocks as Washington earned its first back-to-back wins of the season by beating Memphis. CJ McCollum added 16, while Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly, and Marvin Bagley III scored 14 apiece. Justin Champagnie chipped in 10 points and 12 rebounds, and Bub Carrington added 12 points with seven assists.

Jaren Jackson Jr. matched his season high with 31 points plus eight boards and four blocks, Ja Morant finished with 21 and seven assists, and Santi Aldama added 14 points, 10 rebounds, and five steals. Memphis also lost Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to a hamstring injury, a detail that tends to matter immediately in the next game’s pricing—check how it moves on NBA odds and scores.

Lakers 125, Kings 101

Luka Doncic scored 34 and the Lakers snapped a three-game skid by routing Sacramento. Doncic hit five threes and added seven assists and three steals. LeBron James scored 24 on 11-of-13 shooting, and Nick Smith Jr. provided 21 off the bench with five threes.

The Lakers have a potential concern: James exited late after a collision with DeMar DeRozan and hurt his lower back, while Austin Reaves is already out at least a month (calf). DeRozan scored 22 for Sacramento, Maxime Raynaud had 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Russell Westbrook added 13.
