ORLANDO, Fla. — Giannis Antetokounmpo returned from a one-game absence because of a minor back injury and scored 22 points as the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Orlando Magic 121-99 on Monday night.

Antetokounmpo, the reigning two-time NBA MVP, started slowly and battled through second-half foul trouble before coming alive in the fourth quarter. Milwaukee won a second straight and beat Orlando for a fifth consecutive time in the regular season.

Khris Middleton finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Bucks, while reserve Bobby Portis played well for a second straight game, scoring 20 points.

Nikola Vucevic had 28 points and 13 rebounds to lead the short-handed Magic, who have lost three straight since Markelle Fultz was lost to a season-ending knee injury. Aaron Gordon had 21 points, eight assists and five rebounds and contributed solid defense against Antetokounmpo.

HAWKS 112, 76ERS 94

ATLANTA (AP) — Trae Young scored 26 points, including the first three baskets of Atlanta's dominant start to the second half, and the Hawks beat short-handed Philadelphia.

De'Andre Hunter and Brandon Goodwin had 15 points as the Hawks snapped a four-game losing streak. Clint Capela added 12 points and 10 rebounds as six Atlanta players scored in double figures.

Young, who was held to a combined 22 points in his last two games, regained his scoring touch. He opened the second half with a jumper before adding back-to-back layups. 

Joel Embiid led Philadelphia with 24 points and 11 rebounds. Isaiah Joe had 18 points.

HORNETS 109, KNICKS 88

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Gordon Hayward scored 34 points and Charlotte beat New York for its fourth straight win.

Devonte Graham had 19 points and seven assists for Charlotte, and P.J. Washington had 13 points as the Hornets handed the Knicks their third straight defeat.

Kevin Knox had 19 points to lead the Knicks, and Mitchell Robinson had 12 points and 11 rebounds.

The Hornets scored 24 points off 17 Knicks turnovers. Charlotte committed 10 turnovers while climbing above .500 for the first time this season.

WIZARDS 128, SUNS 107

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bradley Beal scored 34 points and Washington snapped its three-game losing streak and won at home for the first time this season, beating Phoenix. 

The Wizards (3-8), who had lost five straight at home, played without guard Russell Westbrook. He will miss at least a week with a left quadriceps injury.

Devin Booker lead Phoenix (7-4) with 33 points. Chris Paul had 14 points and 11 assists. Mikal Bridges also had 14. 

Beal, the NBA's leading scorer, had eight rebounds and nine assists. He missed Saturday's game with Miami because he was in the NBA's health and safety protocol.

GRIZZLIES 101, CAVALIERS 91

CLEVELAND (AP) — Dillon Brooks scored 21 points and Memphis recovered after blowing a 16-point lead to beat Cleveland.

Brandon Clarke scored 15 points and Tyus Jones had 13 points, seven assists and three steals for the Grizzlies, who won their second straight and improved to 3-1 on the road.

Cavaliers center Andre Drummond had 19 points and 14 rebounds for his 11th straight double-double to start the season. Dotson added 14 points and six assists, and Cedi Osman had 14 points.

TRAIL BLAZERS 112, RAPTORS 111

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — CJ McCollum scored 30 points, including the go-ahead jumper with 9.6 seconds left to lift Portland over Toronto. 

Damian Lillard added 23 points and Carmelo Anthony scored 20 off the bench for the Trail Blazers, who erased a 17-point deficit and overcame Pascal Siakam's first career triple-double of 22 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. 

Siakam's potential game-winning shot rimmed out on the final play — for the second time in two nights. The same thing happened to him in a one-point loss Sunday to Golden State.

Portland starting center Jusuf Nurkic went to the locker room in the first half with a bruised quadriceps and did not return. His replacement, Enes Kanter, had 14 points in 16 minutes. 

KINGS 127, PACERS 122

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Buddy Hield made a big 3-pointer for Sacramento down the stretch, moments after Indiana's Domantas Sabonis had a basket taken away following a replay review.

Hield finished with 18 points on six 3s as the Kings won for the second time in seven games. Harrison Barnes had a season-high 30 points and eight rebounds, and De'Aaron Fox added 21 points and nine assists. Richaun Holmes had 16 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks.

Holmes was whistled for goaltending against Sabonis with 1:25 remaining. But after a lengthy review the call was overturned, and a 3 by Hield gave the Kings a 121-117 lead.

Sabonis had 28 points and 11 rebounds for the Pacers. Malcolm Brogdon scored 24.
