MILWAUKEE — Anfernee Simons scored 31 points and the Portland Trail Blazers capitalized on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s absence, beating the Milwaukee Bucks 122-107 on Monday night for their third straight victory.

Simons has averaged 30 points and has shot 18 of 39 from 3-point range during Portland’s winning streak.

Antetokounmpo didn’t play for the Bucks due to a sore left ankle. Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer said before the game he believes it’s a short-term issue.

Josh Hart scored 27 points and Jusuf Nurkic had 23 points and 16 rebounds as the Trail Blazers continued to thrive after reshaping their roster at the trade deadline. Portland outrebounded Milwaukee 58-43.

BULLS 120, SPURS 109

CHICAGO (AP) — DeMar DeRozan scored 19 of his 40 points in the fourth quarter and Chicago beat San Antonio for its fourth straight victory.

De’Aaron Fox had 26 points for the Kings.

The new-look Nets debuted two of the three players acquired from Philadelphia in last Thursday’s star-laden deal with the 76ers. Curry and Drummond started at off guard and center, respectively. Ben Simmons, the centerpiece of the trade for the Nets, sat on the bench, wearing a sweater and pants.

JAZZ 135, ROCKETS 101

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Donovan Mitchell scored 30 points, Bojan Bogdanovic added 22 and Rudy Gobert returned for streaking Utah in a win over Houston.

Jordan Clarkson scored 16 and Hassan Whiteside contributed 11 points and 14 rebounds in Utah’s third wire-to-wire victory of the season.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — CJ McCollum scored 23 points and New Orleans shot a season-best 58.4% to defeat Toronto.

Brandon Ingram had 10 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, leaving him two short of his first triple-double when he was pulled after playing 29 minutes because the game was not close — and because New Orleans plays again Tuesday night.

Jonas Valanciunas had 18 points and nine rebounds in 28 minutes, and reserve big man Jackson Hayes added 14 points for the Pelicans, who never trailed.

The Pelicans had a season-high 36 assists on 45 field goals and tied a season best with 16 3-pointers on 36 attempts (44.4%).
