Philadelphia — DeMar DeRozan scored 31 points and Kyle Lowry added 20 to help the Toronto Raptors win their fourth straight game, 123-114, over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.

DeRozan continued to make the 30-point mark a routine part of his game and scored 31 points through the first three quarters. DeRozan posterized Jahlil Okafor with a dunk over the Sixers big man and easily rolled to his second straight 30-point game. He scored 30 points on Monday against Milwaukee and came in averaging a robust 27.9 points per game.

DeRozan and Lowry helped squash the Sixers’ modest two-game winning streak. Long one of the NBA’s worst teams, the Sixers haven’t won three straight games since they took four in a row from Dec. 29, 2013-Jan. 4, 2014.

Grizzlies 93, Cavaliers 85

Memphis, Tenn. — Troy Daniels scored 20 points and Marc Gasol had 17 points and 11 rebounds to lead Memphis over the short-handed Cavaliers, who left their top three scorers at home to rest.

Tony Allen added 16 points, eight rebounds and three steals as Memphis won for the seventh time in eight games. The only loss during that stretch was a 110-89 defeat Tuesday night in Cleveland.

LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love did not make the trip for the Cavs, leaving an average of more than 70 points per game back in Cleveland.

Wizards 109, Hornets 106

Washington — John Wall and Bradley Beal combined for 19 of their 45 points in the third quarter, Washington’s highest-scoring period of the season, and the Wizards came back to beat Charlotte, handing the Southeast Division leaders their third consecutive loss.

Wall, wearing bright orange neon shoes, outplayed Hornets star Kemba Walker, finishing with more points (25-17) and assists (10-9), along with seven steals to become Washington’s franchise leader in that category.

Heat 95, Pacers 89

Miami — Hassan Whiteside had 26 points and 22 rebounds, Tyler Johnson scored 15 off the bench and Miami beat Indiana.

James Johnson added 14 points for the Heat, who outrebounded Indiana 58-38 and won consecutive games at home for the first time all season.

Paul George scored 22 for the Pacers, who were hoping for a season-best third straight win and instead managed just 10 points in the fourth quarter. CJ Miles added 15 for Indiana.

Clippers 113, Magic 108

Orlando, Fla. — Austin Rivers made seven 3-pointers and scored 25 points in his return from a concussion to help the Clippers beat Orlando for their third straight victory.

Rivers hit the key shot when he buried a 3-pointer from the corner with 2 minutes left to give the Clippers a nine-point lead.

Nets 107, Lakers 97

New York — Bojan Bogdanovic scored 23 points, Sean Kilpatrick had 22 and Brooklyn sent the Lakers to their eighth straight loss.

Brook Lopez added 20 points for the Nets, who played without Jeremy Lin again but avoided a third consecutive defeat. Trevor Booker grabbed a season-high 18 rebounds.

Lou Williams scored 16 points for the Lakers, who have fallen from a .500 team early in Luke Walton’s first season as coach to one that is 10-18.

They shot 38.5 percent from the field and were dismal as well from the 3-point line (22 percent) and free throw line (61.8).

Rockets 132, Kings 98

Houston — James Harden had a triple-double — 15 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds — in just three quarters to lead the Rockets to their eighth straight win.

Houston’s winning streak is the longest current one in the NBA and the team’s longest since 2014.

It was Harden’s fifth triple-double this season and the 14th of his career, which ties him with Hakeem Olajuwon for most in franchise history.
