The Rockets went to overtime with the Timberwolves, but ended up winning 117-111 as Fred VanVleet led the way with 27 points and 11 assists. They also got 22 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds, three steals, and three blocks from Alperen Şengün to overcome 29 points from Anthony Edwards. That clinches the group for Houston.

Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant each scored 23 points and the Phoenix Suns celebrated the healthy return of both players with a 127-100 win over the Los Angeles Lakers to snap a five-game losing streak.

The Phoenix Suns will have Kevin Durant available for tonight's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer told reporters he's expected to play ahead of game time. Durant was listed as probable with injury management due to his return from a right calf injury.

The Phoenix Suns needed a jolt, and they got it in a big way. With both Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal finally healthy, the Suns cruised to a commanding 127-100 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.
