Notte ricca di big-match e emozioni in NBA, si comincia con la W degli Timberwolves trascinati dai 25p di Rose in uscita dalla panchina, contro i Nets. I Clippers battono sul filo di lana i Grizzlies (112-107) grazie ai 20p di Gallinari e al solito grande contributo di Harell (22p e 11rim). i Rockets di Harden (33p) continuano la loro stagione altalenante perdendo a Detroit contro i Pistons, a decidere il match sono Drummond (23p e 20rim) e Griffin (28p). I Celtics spazzano via gli Hawks (114-96), grazie a una buona prestazione corale, mentre i Pelicans devono arrendersi ai Knicks, trascinati da Trier (25p) e Mudiay (27p) e capaci di tenere testa a Davis (33p e 12rim) e compagni. I Cavs superano a sorpresa i Sixers a cui non bastano i big-three (88p in tre), oltre al solito Redick (23p), per mantenere l’imbattibilità casalinga che crolla sotto i colpi di Sexton (23p), Hood (25p) e Ossman (20p). I Raptors strapazzano i Wizards (125-107) trascinati da Leonard (27p e 10rim), trovando la resistenza del solo Beal (20p), mentre gli Spurs di DeRozan (16p) e Aldridge (33p e 14rim), battono i Pacers. Gli Heat hanno la meglio sui Bulls (103-96), sfruttando la gran serata di Whiteside (18p e 10rim) e Richardson (27p), a Chicago non bastano i 74 punti combinati di Holiday, LaVine e Parker. Gli Hornets hanno la peggio contro i Thunder finalmente risorti e con un Westbrook in gran spolvero (30p e 12rim), capace di vincere il duello con il diretto avversario Walker (25p). I Suns riescono invece a battere i lanciatissimi Bucks grazie al solito Booker (29p) che riesce a rubare la scena ad Antetokounpo (35p e 10rim), mentre a Denver i Nuggets si liberano dei Magic con Lyles (22p) sugli scudi. Golden State si rialza, priva di Cousins, Green e Curry, battendo i Blazers con i 32 punti di Durant e i 31 di Thompson, non bastano agli ospiti le fiammate di Lillard (23p) e la fisicità nel pitturato di Nurkic (22p). Infine, i Lakers hanno la meglio sui Jazz (90-83) grazie al duo James – Ingram (46p in due).
