Amen Thompson tipped in a Kevin Durant missed jumper at the buzzer, and the Houston Rockets escaped with a wild 123-122 victory over the visiting Miami Heat on Saturday night.
Durant passed Michael Jordan's career 32,292 points for fifth on the NBA's scoring list with a corner 3-pointer at the 3:35 mark of the fourth quarter. The Heat (38-33) moved ahead on a goaltending call against Jabari Smith Jr. when he attempted to block Simone Fontecchio's layup after the Rockets committed a turnover on an inbounds pass by Tari Eason.
Thompson finished with 24 points and a career-high 18 rebounds. He was one of three Rockets to record double-doubles along with Reed Sheppard (23 points, 14 assists) and Alperen Sengun (19 points, 12 rebounds). Durant finished with 27 points to lead the Rockets and has 32,294 for his career.
Bam Adebayo paired 32 points with a career-high-tying 21 rebounds to pace the Heat. Tyler Herro scored 25 points but missed all five of his fourth-quarter shots. Fontecchio had 21 points and five 3-pointers.
Lakers 105, Magic 104
Luke Kennard drilled a go-ahead 3-pointer with 0.6 seconds remaining to lift Los Angeles to a victory over host Orlando.
Trailing by two with 2.6 seconds left, Marcus Smart inbounded a pass to a wide-open Kennard, who clinched the team's ninth straight win. Los Angeles was led by Luka Doncic's 33 points and eight assists, while Austin Reaves had 26 points. LeBron James scored 12 and passed Robert Parish for most regular-season games played in NBA history with 1,612.
Orlando was paced by Paolo Banchero's 16 points and Jalen Suggs' 14. Wendell Carter Jr. and Jevon Carter added 13 apiece for the Magic, who lost their fourth straight.
Clippers 138, Mavericks 131 (OT)
Darius Garland scored 41 points with 11 assists and Kawhi Leonard added 34 points as visiting Los Angeles ended a four-game losing streak with an overtime victory over Dallas.
Derrick Jones Jr. scored 15 points, including two 3-pointers in overtime, as the Clippers shot 56.7% from the floor and went 21-of-42 from 3-point range to salvage the final game of a three-game road trip.
Naji Marshall scored 28 points and Cooper Flagg added 18 points with 10 rebounds and four blocked shots for the Mavericks, who lost their 11th consecutive home game.
Hornets 124, Grizzlies 101
LaMelo Ball's 29 points led to another big offensive output for Charlotte in its victory against visiting Memphis.
Brandon Miller poured in 22 points for the Hornets, who have won five of their last six. Charlotte also received contributions from Miles Bridges with 13 points and Coby White, who paired 12 points and eight rebounds with seven assists in 19 minutes off the bench.
GG Jackson led Memphis with 19 points, while Javon Small provided 17 points and a team-high seven rebounds, Taylor Hendricks had 14 points and Walter Clayton Jr. notched 11 points. The Grizzlies have lost 10 of their last 11 games.
Thunder 132, Wizards 111
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 40 points as Oklahoma City beat host Washington to stretch its winning streak to 11 and the Wizards' skid to 15.
The Thunder's Chet Holmgren added 18 points and 10 rebounds and Jared McCain scored 18 off the bench. Isaiah Hartenstein had nine points, a career-high-tying 20 rebounds and 10 assists, just missing out on his second career triple-double.
Bilal Coulibaly led six Washington players in double figures with 21 points while Bub Carrington added 19.
Cavaliers 111, Pelicans 106
Donovan Mitchell scored 27 points, James Harden went for 20 points, 10 assists and six rebounds, and Cleveland used a fourth-quarter rally to snap New Orleans' seven-game home winning streak.
Cleveland came back from down as many as 15 points, going on runs of 16-2 and 10-0 in the final period to pull ahead. Sam Merrill scored 15 points and Evan Mobley went for 18 points and eight rebounds.
Zion Williamson shot 10-of-14 from the floor to lead New Orleans with 25 points. Saddiq Bey shot 4-of-8 from 3-point range on the way to 19 points, and Murray posted a double-double with 12 points and 10 assists.
Hawks 126, Warriors 110
Dyson Daniels matched his career high with 28 points to help Atlanta beat Golden State and extend its home-court winning streak to 10 games.
Daniels was 12-for-17 from the field with seven rebounds, six assists and four steals to help the Hawks bounce back from their 11-game winning streak being snapped Friday vs. Houston. CJ McCollum scored 23 points, and Zaccharie Risacher and Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 17 each. Mouhamed Gueye, who started in place of leading scorer Jalen Johnson (left shoulder inflammation), recorded 16 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks.
The Warriors were led by De'Anthony Melton with 20 points, Nate Williams with 19 points and Pat Spencer with 18. They are 1-4 on their six-game road trip, which concludes on Monday at Dallas.
Spurs 134, Pacers 119
Rookie Dylan Harper poured in a career-high-tying 24 points in his first career start and Keldon Johnson also hit for 24 points as host San Antonio rolled to a win over hapless Indiana.
The Spurs remain on a torrid pace as they won their fifth straight game and for the 21st time in their past 23 contests. Victor Wembanyama finished with 20 points, eight rebounds, six assists and five blocked shots in 26 minutes of court time.
Meanwhile, Indiana dropped its 16th consecutive outing. Andrew Nembhard led all scorers with 25 points while Jarace Walker tallied 21. Pascal Siakam scored 14 in his first game back after missing six contests with a sprained right knee.
76ers 126, Jazz 116
Quentin Grimes scored 25 points and VJ Edgecombe added 22 points and 13 rebounds to lead Philadelphia past Utah at Salt Lake City.

Jalen Green led Phoenix with 24 points, while Collin Gillespie added 18 and Devin Booker had 14 points on 4-of-17 shooting.
San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) will play Saturday against Indiana after being listed as questionable with right ankle soreness. The All-Star big man continues to produce elite fantasy numbers when active. Over his last five games, he has averaged 28.8 points, 3.8 three-pointers, 11.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals, and 2.4 blocks in 31.7 minutes. He remains an automatic start in all formats because of his rare ability to contribute across every category. His presence keeps Luke Kornet in a limited reserve role, while De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle should continue handling key scoring responsibilities.
Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (back) is available for Saturday's game against Atlanta after being listed as questionable with lower-back soreness. The veteran remains a key facilitator and defensive anchor, even when scoring is limited. In his last outing, Green finished with zero points but contributed five rebounds and six assists in 22 minutes. His availability is important with Kristaps Porzingis (back) and Al Horford (calf) still sidelined, which should keep Green locked into meaningful minutes. He remains valuable in category leagues for his assists and defensive stats, while Gui Santos and Quinten Post (foot) could continue seeing frontcourt opportunities.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Dallas after entering the day with a questionable tag. Leonard has missed two of the last three games, but when active he continues to deliver early-round fantasy value. Over his last five appearances, he has averaged 31.6 points, 3.2 three-pointers, 6.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 steals in 31 minutes. He remains a must-start in all formats when healthy. His return likely cuts into Jordan Miller's short-term streaming appeal, while Darius Garland should continue handling significant playmaking duties.
Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks after being listed as questionable, marking his first time playing both ends of a back-to-back this season. Melton's minutes have fluctuated, but he has remained fantasy relevant, averaging 16.0 points, 1.6 three-pointers, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 steals over his last five games. He remains a viable option in standard leagues for scoring and steals when his minutes hold. Brandin Podziemski and Gui Santos should continue seeing steady roles, while Melton provides backcourt depth with defensive upside.
Houston Rockets forward/center Alperen Sengun (back) will play Saturday against the Heat after being listed as questionable due to back tightness. The big man should slide right back into his usual role as one of Houston's main facilitators, averaging 16.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 6.0 assists over his last five games. His availability likely pushes Clint Capela back into a limited reserve role, lowering his streaming appeal. Sengun remains a must-start in all formats thanks to the playmaking he brings from the center spot, while Kevin Durant and Amen Thompson should continue leading the scoring.
Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) will not play Saturday against the Warriors because of left shoulder inflammation. The injury ends his recent stretch of strong all-around production. His absence could open the door for Jonathan Kuminga to take on a larger role after he was removed from the injury report. In his last appearance, Kuminga recorded 16 points, two three-pointers, five rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 18 minutes. He looks like a solid short-term streaming option if he moves into the starting lineup, while C.J. McCollum and Nickeil Alexander-Walker could also take on more scoring responsibility.
Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (back) will not play Saturday against Atlanta after exiting Friday's loss to Detroit because of back tightness. With Draymond Green (back) and Quinten Post (foot) available, both could help cover frontcourt minutes. Green finished with five rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one block in 22 minutes Friday and offers value in deeper formats for defensive stats and assists. Post is more of a speculative deep-league option after producing six points, five rebounds, and three assists in his previous appearance. Gui Santos should also continue seeing steady minutes as a secondary option.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Jaylon Tyson (toe) is out for Saturday's game against the Pelicans after being listed as doubtful. His absence should keep extra wing minutes available for Keon Ellis and Sam Merrill. Merrill started the last game and finished with 13 points, three three-pointers, one rebound, three assists, one steal, and one block in 31 minutes, while Ellis produced eight points, two rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one block in 27 minutes off the bench. Both are mainly deep-league streaming options for threes and defensive stats, while Donovan Mitchell and James Harden continue to lead the offense.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (eye) is available for Saturday's game against the Pelicans after missing one contest with a left eye contusion. Mitchell is expected to reclaim his usual high-usage role alongside James Harden, continuing to anchor Cleveland's scoring and playmaking. In his last appearance, Mitchell posted 19 points, one three-pointer, eight rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in 34 minutes. He remains a must-start in all formats, while James Harden should continue handling a major share of the playmaking duties.
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves (hip) is available for Saturday's game against Orlando after being added to the injury report with left hip soreness. Reaves should continue handling a secondary playmaking role, though his fantasy ceiling remains tied to the presence of Luka Doncic and LeBron James. Over his last five games, he has averaged 21.8 points, 2.0 three-pointers, 4.6 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.2 steals in 40.6 minutes. He remains a solid hold in standard leagues, with fantasy managers able to rely on his consistent mid-round production.
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against San Antonio as he continues to deal with right ankle injury management. Indiana could again be thin across the rotation with multiple players carrying questionable tags, which may lead to more minutes for Kobe Brown and Jalen Slawson (G League) if available. Brown finished with eight points, two three-pointers, and one steal in 20 minutes in the last game and could be a deep-league option. Slawson posted 17 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks in 37 minutes and would carry streaming appeal if cleared.
Utah Jazz guard/forward Brice Sensabaugh (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Philadelphia, marking his second straight absence. Utah remains shorthanded, which should keep Ace Bailey and Cody Williams in prominent offensive roles. Bailey is coming off a 33-point outing with seven three-pointers, nine rebounds, four assists, and three steals in 34 minutes and looks like a strong fantasy play while the Jazz are depleted. Williams added 23 points and five assists in 27 minutes and remains a viable deep-league option. Kyle Filipowski could also see steady usage in the frontcourt.
Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against San Antonio and could miss a fourth straight contest. Indiana's backcourt is dealing with multiple injuries, with T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Ben Sheppard (ankle), and Quenton Jackson (calf) also questionable, which could force rotation adjustments. Kam Jones could see increased usage after posting 14 points, four three-pointers, nine assists, and two steals in 27 minutes in his last start. He could be a deep-league streaming option if more minutes open up. Jarace Walker and Pascal Siakam (knee) may also take on more scoring depending on availability.
Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against Milwaukee and could miss a third straight contest. His absence would likely keep extra minutes available for Collin Gillespie, who finished with 24 points, six three-pointers, six assists, and two steals in 34 minutes in the last game. Gillespie could be a solid short-term streaming option for points and three-pointers if he remains in the starting lineup. Ryan Dunn could also see steady bench minutes after posting five points and eight rebounds in 20 minutes. Devin Booker should continue handling primary scoring duties.
Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (back) is expected to miss Saturday's game against Atlanta after exiting Friday's loss to Detroit early, finishing with five points, three rebounds, and two blocks in 11 minutes. His absence could open short-term streaming value in deeper formats. Omer Yurtseven posted eight points, six rebounds, and two assists in 21 minutes Friday and could see another workload bump. Quinten Post (foot), if cleared, is another deep-league option. Brandin Podziemski and Gui Santos may also see added usage.
Phoenix Suns forward Royce O'Neale (knee) is doubtful for Saturday's game against Milwaukee and is in danger of missing his second straight contest. That could keep Jordan Goodwin in the starting unit after he finished with five points, eight rebounds, and three steals in 35 minutes in the last game. Goodwin could be worth a look in deeper leagues for rebounds and defensive stats if he sees similar minutes again. Devin Booker and Jalen Green should continue leading the offense.
New York Knicks guard/forward Landry Shamet (knee) left Friday's 93-92 win over Brooklyn in the third quarter and is questionable for Sunday's game against Washington after logging three points, three rebounds, two steals, one assist, and one block in 22 minutes. His absence could open rotation minutes with fantasy playoffs underway. Jordan Clarkson had nine points in 22 minutes and could be a deep-league option for scoring, while Mohamed Diawara put up eight points, seven rebounds, and five assists in 20 minutes and is more of a streamer in deeper formats.
Indiana Pacers forward/center Pascal Siakam (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against San Antonio as he looks to return after a six-game absence. His return could lead to fewer available minutes in the frontcourt. Jarace Walker started the last game and posted 10 points, two three-pointers, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 33 minutes. Walker has been playing well and has provided a boost for fantasy managers with the playoffs underway. Siakam's return would likely cut into his workload. Siakam should be back in starting lineups if active.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (eye) is questionable for Saturday's game against New Orleans after missing Thursday's win over Chicago, which could again push more offensive work toward the supporting cast if he remains out. Jaylon Tyson (toe), who is also questionable, drew the start last game and delivered 18 points, two three-pointers, 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in 23 minutes, putting him on the radar as a streaming option if he plays. Evan Mobley and James Harden should continue seeing increased usage if Mitchell sits. Mitchell remains a must-start if cleared.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against Phoenix after missing two of the last three contests with right knee synovitis, which could again open up more work in the backcourt. Ryan Rollins got the start last game and finished with 15 points, three three-pointers, three rebounds, and five assists in 23 minutes. He has put together a strong season and looks like a solid fantasy option down the stretch with the regular season nearing its end and fantasy playoffs underway. Cam Thomas added 14 points with four assists in 23 minutes and could remain a scoring option off the bench, while AJ Green may continue seeing situational minutes for three-point help.
