Tyrese Maxey scored 43 points to lead the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers to a 118-104 NBA victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) as the surging Houston Rockets pulled off a tense 100-96 win over Atlanta.
The Knicks have won five in a row including wins over teams like the Nuggets, Grizzlies, and Kings who have all been surging.

While Martin is still recovering from a left foot stress reaction, the forward acknowledges that the deadline is coming and he knows what it's like to be moved. The Houston Rockets traded him to the Los Angeles Clippers and the Clips then moved him to the Sixers very early in the 2023-24 season in the big James Harden trade.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have lost back-to-back games for the first time since November, as they suffered a 132-129 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Friday night. That came two days after a 109-108 defeat at the hands of the Houston Rockets.
Looking to end their road trip on a high note, the injury-riddled Cavs will be without superstar Evan Mobley in a matchup with the 76ers.
