Jerami Grant buried a go-ahead 3-pointer with 22.2 seconds left and finished with 26 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block in Portland’s 108-104 road win at Minnesota. (apnews.com/article/trail-blazers-timberwolves-score-6e15c9db4db2a68218ca3feec71ae5f4) Donovan Clingan posted 21 points and 12 rebounds and Deni Avdija added 25 points for Portland, while Minnesota’s Jaden McDaniels (16) and Julius Randle (19) paced the Wolves in a four‑point loss. (nba.com/game/0022501020/box-score) Kevin Durant scored 25 and Jabari Smith Jr. 23 as Houston shot 51% overall and 47% from three in a 117-95 win that snapped Atlanta’s 11‑game winning streak. (nba.com/game/atl-vs-hou-0022501018) Alperen Sengun nearly recorded a triple‑double with 15 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds for the Rockets, while Atlanta’s Nickeil Alexander‑Walker led the Hawks with 21 points in the loss. (nba.com/game/atl-vs-hou-0022501018) Jamal Murray scored 31 points — 12 in the fourth quarter — Nikola Jokić hit the go‑ahead jumper with 45 seconds left, and Denver held on for a 121-115 comeback over Toronto. (apnews.com/article/raptors-nuggets-score-fb66d4d6df242caa9362128d7224a0fa) Box scores show Jokić logged 22 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds, Tim Hardaway Jr. was 7‑for‑10 from three for 23 points, and Jakob Poeltl delivered 23 points and 11 rebounds for the Raptors — numbers that factor directly into late‑season fantasy start/sit decisions.
