In a game where Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin strain) and Joel Embiid (knee) were out, Tyrese Maxey provided the star power. Maxey scored a career-high 54 points — two of them coming on free throws with seven seconds left that forced overtime — and led Philadelphia to a 123-114 win in Milwaukee.

Shorthanded Knicks leaned on Landry Shamet, who scored a career-high 36 points off the bench to help New York defeat the Heat 140-132.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker had a career-high 38 points on 13-for-17 shooting for Atlanta. Jalen Johnson added 26 for the Hawks, who have lost two straight after winning five in a row.
