NBA round-up of the 10 games played on 11 November 2026.
Washington Wizards 101-114 Indiana Pacers
The Pacers can only breathe a partial sigh of relief. Having come through a major slump of five straight defeats, Rick Carlisle’s side are finding their rhythm and beat the Wizards fairly comfortably overnight, though not without suffering another blow with the injury to Aaron Nesmith.
While Pascal Siakam shone with 28 points and Ivica Zubac backed him up with a double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds, the aforementioned forward could only play 22 minutes because of pain in his right knee.
The problem did not stop Indiana from landing the decisive blow in the final quarter against a Wizards side who missed greater efficiency from their big star, Anthony Davis, who reached 21 points but shot a poor 7 of 20 from the field.
Boston Celtics 98-93 Toronto Raptors
Boston keep on winning. Able to adapt to any surroundings, the Celtics travelled to Toronto for a tough game and came out on top, even though Jayson Tatum did not have his best night.
The Celtics’ star reached 24 points, but his 6 of 21 shooting takes quite a bit of shine off his display. Even so, Joe Mazzulla’s side showed themselves to be a great unit (and a great defence), holding the Raptors to 38 per cent shooting from the field and taking the win.
For the Canadians, without Kawhi Leonard or Scottie Barnes, the top scorer was Ja’Kobe Walter, with 17 points and an excellent 5 of 10 from three.
Cleveland Cavaliers 115-107 New York Knicks
Criticism has been a daily occurrence for the Cavaliers in general and James Harden in particular. So, especially when visiting the champions, the Knicks, this was a night of vindication for them.
The Beard, whose stats to date have been truly painful, showed what he really is (or was) with a fantastic 32-point performance, including 5 of 7 from three, making him the leader of the Ohio side, who made a statement after losing four of their last five games.
And the Knicks? Well, Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns played at a very good level, but the only other one to join them was Miles McBride with 19 points off the bench.
Brooklyn Nets 145-111 New Orleans Pelicans
This was a painful watch and left the Pelicans badly exposed, as they conceded 145 points to a team that had scored fewer than 100 in four of their previous 10 games…
New Orleans’ defence was ridiculous, so much so that they had conceded 83 points by half-time. After the game Zion Williamson said this had to stop and that they could not keep playing like this, but the truth is there is no solution in sight for a team who do not know where they are or where they are heading.
As for individual performances, Brooklyn had eight players in double figures, with Michael Porter Jr. going up to 22, while for the hosts the aforementioned Zion reached 29.
San Antonio Spurs 124-119 Chicago Bulls
The Spurs reach the magic figure of 10 consecutive wins on another night of business as usual for Victor Wembanyama, who finished with 32 points, 9 rebounds and 5 blocks.
Although the Texans are obviously superior, the Bulls put up a fight, especially in a first half that they finished 14 points up. It was not enough. After the break San Antonio turned it around, also taking advantage of Caleb Wilson’s injury. For the Illinois side the best was Jalen Smith with 23 points.
Los Angeles Lakers 123-112 Milwaukee Bucks
Luka Doncic has no intention of easing off. The Slovenian is on a mission and will not stop until he completes it through a string of great games; even so, tonight’s 32 points in Milwaukee seem like few… That is what he has led us to!
The fact is that the Slovenian has the Lakers top of the Eastern Conference at 11-2, putting forward an MVP candidacy that looks firmer than ever. In any case, it cannot be overlooked that he has alongside him an Austin Reaves who is also playing superbly. Incidentally, both finished the game with discomfort, giving the purple-and-gold faithful a real scare.
The Bucks are quite the opposite. Tyler Herro delivered again with 27 points, but nothing will save them from a year stuck at the bottom of the standings.
Denver Nuggets 123-118 Memphis Grizzlies
Without much room to spare, but the Nuggets keep racking up wins. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray combined for 57 points and 16 assists, meaning the resistance offered by the Grizzlies ultimately proved insufficient.
The Tennessee side, who began spectacularly with six straight wins, are starting to struggle; so much so that they have lost four of their last five. They should not overthink it, as they are in a transition year and the word pressure should not even come up. Individual performances? 22 points each from Ty Jerome and Jaylen Wells.
Orlando Magic 123-108 Utah Jazz
Playing the Jazz is a balm for any team that is hurting. Along those lines, the Magic turned up in Salt Lake City and won without much opposition, and can keep believing that a good season is possible.
The truth is that Orlando’s chances depend enormously on the form of Franz Wagner, who produced a fantastic game, going up to 38 points to claim his role as a superstar.
As for Utah, we learned only moments ago that Lauri Markkanen will be out of action for a few weeks, underlining that the season looks set to turn into an absolute disaster. For now, 1-11 and counting.
Golden State Warriors 108-115 Houston Rockets
It promised to be a cracker, but everything was overshadowed by Stephen Curry’s injury six minutes into the game. Even so, the San Francisco side fought, but the Rockets kept everything under control for the full 48 minutes.
While waiting to find out the extent of the 38-year-old guard’s injury, the Californians enjoyed a great performance of 25 points and 10 rebounds from Yaxel Lendeborg, as well as 22 points from Brandin Podziemski.
And in Houston? Well, 20 points from Kevin Durant and a stellar display from a starting five that is undoubtedly one of the best of the current 2026-27 NBA season.
Oklahoma City Thunder 108-118 Portland Trail Blazers
And Portland did it again. Almost as if it were easy, the Oregon side beat the Thunder once more, led by Damian Lillard and Deni Avdija, who went up to 28 points – mark him down as a possible All-Star.
One of the great strengths of these Blazers is that they are able to produce their best when the decisive moment of their games arrives. This time, they won the final quarter 30-23.
The reigning MVP of the American competition, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, scored 31 points, but could not lead his team to victory given the plague of injuries they are suffering in OKC.
