Portland (9th in West) will attempt to win a fourth consecutive game and continue their late season push to secure a spot in the SoFi Play-In Tournament, while Denver (5th in West) tries to make up ground in a packed race for top six.<\/p>\n In the national spotlight, Julius Randle and the Timberwolves take on Jaylen Brown and the Celtics on Sunday Night Basketball (8 ET, NBC\/Peacock<\/a>). Minnesota looks to right the ship without Anthony Edwards (knee), and Boston takes aim at a fifth consecutive victory.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s tonight\u2019s complete schedule:<\/p>\n
\nThe Knicks scored 32+ points in every quarter of their 145-113 win over Washington to win their sixth consecutive game. Karl-Anthony Towns (26 pts, 16 reb) recorded his league-leading<\/a> 50th double-double.
\nMinnesota picked up a gritty 10-point win over the Celtics for the first time in Boston in 7,685 days (March 6, 2005) behind Bones Hyland (23 pts, 3 3PM) and Jaden McDaniels (19 pts, 6 reb, 3 ast).<\/p>\n
