Valanciunas had 17 points and 12 rebounds, and Zion Williamson added
17 points and a career-high 11 assists for the Pelicans, who wound
up with a franchise-record 41 assists.
Collin Sexton scored 22, Simone Fontecchio had 18 and John Collins
scored 14 for the Jazz, who lost their third straight game after a
six-game winning streak. The Pelicans have alternated wins and
losses for seven games.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led Oklahoma City with 33 points and 10
assists, but struggled with his shooting, going 10 of 24 from the
floor.
The Blazers scored just 43 points in the second half to drop their
sixth game in their last eight. Scoot Henderson led Portland with 19
points off the bench.
Nuggets 114, Pacers 109
Nikola Jokic had 31 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, Jamal Murray
also scored 31 points and Denver won at Indianapolis, spoiling
Pascal Siakam's home debut with Indiana.
Jokic's triple-double was his 13th of the season. Kentavious
Caldwell-Pope had 14 points and Reggie Jackson scored 13 off the
bench for Denver, which has won three straight, all on the road.

Wednesday, finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Myles Turner led
the Pacers with 22 points, and T.J. McConnell scored 17.
Knicks 108, Nets 103
Jalen Brunson scored 30 points and Julius Randle also finished with
30 and converted a go-ahead dunk with one minute left as visiting
New York rallied down the stretch for a victory over struggling
Brooklyn.
After facing a nine-point deficit going into the fourth, the Knicks
grabbed a 98-97 lead on Randle's putback with four minutes left. New
York emerged with its fourth win in a row.
Mikal Bridges sank a career-high seven 3-pointers and led all
scorers with 36 points, but he was held to three in the fourth
quarter as the Nets lost for the 11th time in 13 games.
