A busy stretch for the Boston Celtics continues when they bring a six-game winning streak into Monday night’s home bout with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Jaylen Brown (knee), Al Horford (back) and Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) were all out with injuries on Saturday, but Jayson Tatum’s season-high 43 points led the way as the Celtics were 117-108 winners at Detroit.
With or without injuries to the supporting cast, Tatum has been the driving force behind Boston’s 10-3 start. His 420 points in 13 games (32.3 per game) lead the NBA. His average during the team’s current six-game winning streak is even higher (34.8) on 47.0 percent shooting.
Tatum, who scored 28 points in the second half on Saturday, also supplied 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block.
The team effort also included 19 points from Grant Williams, as well as 18 and 10 assists from Smart.
The Thunder have curbed a four-game skid with two triumphs and looks to complete a back-to-back sweep after Sunday’s 145-135 victory over the Knicks in New York.
The Thunder’s 145 points were four points shy of tying a franchise record, following a 132-113 Friday win over Toronto in which eight players scored in double figures for the first time in team history.
Gilgeous-Alexander led the way with 37 points on Sunday, eclipsing the 30-point mark for the eighth time, while adding eight assists, three steals and two blocks.
Josh Giddey (24 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds) was also impressive, joining Wilt Chamberlain as the only players in NBA history to record triple-doubles in each of their first two games at Madison Square Garden.
Oklahoma City’s 110.7 defensive rating ranks 15th in the NBA, and Monday’s meeting in Boston will pit them against the Celtics’ league-best offense (119.5 points per game).
Boston won both meetings with Oklahoma City last season, with Tatum leading the team in scoring.
LaMelo Ball alone isn’t going to fix the problems facing the Charlotte Hornets, but he figures to be a big part of the solution.
The Hornets already appear in a desperate situation, so his season debut during the weekend was a much-needed boost for the club.
Ball’s appearance won’t be the only notable storyline when Charlotte visits the Orlando Magic on Monday night.
Clifford is a former Magic coach who returned this season to begin his second stint with the Hornets.
The Magic are coming off back-to-back wins for the first time this season. The Magic have sputtered this season, but by winning their past two games against Dallas and Phoenix, they’ve pushed their win total to four — one more than Charlotte.
Meanwhile, the Hornets will try to snap an eight-game losing streak, their longest since January 2020. They’ve lost the first two games of a three-game road trip, dropping games Thursday night and Saturday night in Miami.
Having Ball, who had been out since a preseason injury, in the lineup should bode well for the Hornets in the long run, though it might take time to see the dividends.
Many of the Hornets’ snags have come on offense. Ball’s presence could start to remedy those, something that might have begun to develop when they shot a season-best 51.1 percent from the field Saturday night in a 132-115 loss to Miami.
Defensive woes have also popped up for the Hornets, who surrendered 45 third-quarter points to Miami on Saturday night. Part of the problem was the lack of much rim protection.
Orlando has an emerging star in rookie Paolo Banchero, who turned 20 on Saturday. He has missed the past two games with an ankle sprain. His status for Monday night is murky.
Banchero has averaged 23.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in 11 outings.
The Magic have found offensive success, shooting a combined 53.1 percent from the field in the last five games.
Defense might be taking a turn for Orlando as well.
A 50-38 rebounding edge in the Phoenix game helped the Magic, with Bol Bol’s 15 boards the most for any player on the team this season.
The Toronto Raptors and Detroit Pistons are trying to get by without their top players. One of those teams will collect a much-needed victory when they meet in Detroit on Monday.
Toronto has lost three of its last four games and four of its last six. Forward Pascal Siakam has missed the last five games and will remain sidelined on Monday due to a right adductor strain.
The Raptors are also playing without forward Precious Achiuwa, who has partial ligament tears in his right ankle. Top guard Fred VanVleet didn’t suit up in a 118-104 loss at Indiana on Saturday due to a non-COVID illness.
Detroit has dropped three straight and is tied with Charlotte for the worst record in the Eastern Conference at 3-11. Franchise player and second-leading scorer Cade Cunningham has missed the last two games due to left shin soreness. The team announced prior to its 117-108 loss to Boston on Saturday that Cunningham will be sidelined at least three more games.
After allowing 132 points to Oklahoma City the previous night, the Raptors’ defense wasn’t much better against the Pacers. Indiana shot 50 percent from the field and racked up 33 assists on 41 baskets. Toronto did force 21 turnovers but gave 66 second-half points while squandering a 13-point halftime advantage.
Offensively, the perimeter game was severely lacking as the Raptors made just seven of 35 3-point attempts.
O.G. Anunoby tried to pick up the slack with 26 points, one off his season high, but Scottie Barnes was limited to eight points on 4-for-16 shooting.
Bojan Bogdanovic led Detroit with 28 points on Saturday and rookie Jaden Ivey had 26 but the Pistons couldn’t overcome a 43-point eruption from Celtics star Jayson Tatum.
Ivey, who had four turnovers, was upset with his play during crunch time.
The Pistons will need big performances from their rookie floor leader to offset the temporary loss of Cunningham, who has battled shin pain since training camp.
NEW YORK – Calgary Flames forward Blake Coleman has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, for slew-footing Winnipeg Jets forward Pierre-Luc Dubois during NHL Game No. 236 in Calgary on Saturday, Nov. 12, the National Hockey League’s Department of Player Safety announced today.
The incident occurred at 18:30 of the first period. Coleman was assessed a minor penalty for tripping.
The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.
* MikhailSergachev had a four-point first period to match the NHL record for points in a frame by a defenseman.
* The Bruins set a club benchmark for the longest season-opening home winning streak, 98 years after their inaugural season.
* Blake Wheeler scored with six seconds remaining in regulation to match the latest game-tying goal by a Jets skater since the franchise relocated to Winnipeg, while Erik Karlsson added to his defensemen-leading point total as the Sharks recorded the NHL’s 20th multi-goal, third-period comeback victory of 2022-23.
HOCKEY HALL OF INDUCTION CEREMONY SET FOR TONIGHT IN TORONTO
The Hockey Hall of Fame will officially induct its newest members Monday during a ceremony at Meridian Hall in Toronto.

The ceremony will be broadcast at 8 p.m. ET on TSN in Canada and NHL Network in the U.S. (Image: Hockey Hall of Fame).
SERGACHEV TIES NHL RECORD WITH FOUR POINTS IN FIRST PERIOD ON ESPN
With the Sunday spotlight focused on an ESPN national telecast featuring the Capitals and Lightning, MikhailSergachev tallied 2-2—4 in the first period to spot Tampa Bay to a 4-0 and match the NHL record for points in any period by a defenseman. Overall, it was the 37th time in League history that a blueliner collected four points in one frame and 11th instance in the first period.
* Sergachev and Bobby Orr are the only defensemen in NHL history to notch multiple goals and multiple assists in the first period of a game.
* Sergachev also tied the Lightning record for points in any period by a player of any position, equaling a feat last achieved by Martin St. Louis on Feb. 12, 2009. He was the first Tampa Bay defenseman to tally four points in the opening period of a game.
BRUINS SET FRANCHISE RECORD 98 YEARS IN THE MAKING
A franchise record 98 years in the making was set Sunday as the Bruins improved to 9-0-0 at TD Garden toestablish the longest season-opening home win streak in club history. Hampus Lindholm (0-3—3) tallied his second three-assist outing of the season as the Bruins (14-2-0, 28 points) took the outright lead in points atop the NHL standings and moved to a League-best 10-0-0 when scoring first.
* This is the 14th time the Bruins have strung together a home winning streak of at least nine games at any point in a campaign and first since 2018-19 (12-0-0 from Feb. 5 – March 27, 2019).
* Linus Ullmark (29 saves) has manned the net in seven of Boston’s nine home games this season, owning a 7-0-0 record to go along with a .945 save percentage and 1.68 goals-against average in those contests. He is the fourth goaltender in Bruins history to post a home winning streak of seven or more games from their first home appearance of a campaign, following Gilles Gilbert (16-0-0 in 1973-74), Ross Brooks (8-0-0 in 1973-74) and Manny Fernandez (7-0-0 in 2008-09).
* Ullmark has a record of 21-3-1 in 28 home games since joining Boston in 2021-22 (.750 W%). Among goaltenders with at least 15 home appearances over that span, only Florida’s Sergei Bobrovsky (.771 W%; 27-3-1 in 35 GP) has a higher win percentage. Bobrovsky won nine straight home decisions to start the 2021-22 season, with seven of those earned during the Panthers’ NHL record-tying season-opening home win streak noted in the graphic above.
JETS AND SHARKS SHOW NO QUIT, EARN COMEBACK WINS ON THE ROAD
The Jets and Sharks each rallied from behind on the road to win, boosting the total number of comeback victories in 2022-23 to 120 – the most ever at this stage of a campaign (243 GP).
* Jets captain Blake Wheeler (1-0—1) scored his 300th career goal in dramatic fashion, tying the game with six seconds remaining in regulation to force extra time, where Mark Scheifele (2-0—2) netted his 12th career overtime winner – the most by any skater in franchise history – to seal the comeback victory. Wheeler’s tally was the latest tying goal in the NHL this season and the second in the final minute of regulation in 2022-23 (also Oskar Sundqvist: 19:19 of P3 on Oct. 17 w/ DET).
* Erik Karlsson (0-1—1) assisted on San Jose’s game-tying goal with less than five minutes remaining in the third period to boost his defensemen-leading point total to 10-12—22 and help the Sharks stage their first multi-goal, third period comeback win of the season. It was the NHL’s 20th such victory of 2022-23, the most ever at this stage of a campaign (243 GP).
ROBERTSON, PAVELSKI HELP STARS KEEP PACE ATOP CENTRAL DIVISION The duo of Jason Robertson (1-1—2) and Joe Pavelski (1-2—3) each registered multiple points to help the Stars earn a road win in Philadelphia and keep pace with the Jets atop the Central Division standings. It marked Dallas’ fifth consecutive win against the Flyers, tied for their longest active streak against one opponent (also 5 GP vs. ANA).
* Robertson extended his point streak to eight games (8-8—16 in 8 GP) – he has scored at least one goal in seven of those eight contests. Additionally, it marked Robertson’s eighth multi-point game of the season (15 GP), tied with Nathan MacKinnon (8 in 13 GP) and David Pastrnak (8 in 16 GP) for the second most in the NHL this season behind only Connor McDavid (9 in 16 GP).
* Pavelski’s three points marked his fifth multi-point game of the season and 41st since joining Dallas in 2019-20. Only two Stars have notched more multi-point games for the franchise than the now 38-year-old Pavelski over that span: Roope Hintz (45) and Robertson (44).
WORLD DIABETES DAY: KUNIN GIVES BACK
The philanthropy work Luke Kunin is doing to improve his communities is highlighted on World Diabetes Day – the largest diabetes awareness campaign. Kunin, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 12, wants to help kids with the same diagnosis, and he has done just that. He’s an ambassador for the Juvenile Diabetic Research Foundation (JDRF) and founded the Luke Kunin T1D Fund. The Sharks forward has partnered with the Sharks Foundation and JDRF San Francisco to host youth and families impacted by diabetes at home games throughout the season.

The first 4,000 fans will receive a commemorative Alfredsson bobblehead and all fans are invited to stay after the game to enjoy the induction ceremony on the in-arena screen.
* Ottawa is led in scoring by current captain, Brady Tkachuk (6-13—19 in 14 GP), who is coming off a three-assist performance in a 4-1 victory over the Flyers Nov. 12. He can become the first Senators skater to reach 20 points in 15 games or less since current teammate Thomas Chabot in 2018-19 and the first forward from the franchise to do so since Alfredsson (14 GP) and Jason Spezza (15 GP) both did so in 2007-08.
* Alfredsson is one of three Swedish-born players in the Hall of Fame Class of 2022, entering alongside Henrik and DanielSedin. This is the first time multiple players from the Tre Kroner will be inducted in the same year, bringing the country’s overall total to seven.
