The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Chicago Bulls 112-103 to claim a game-high 29 points for Giannis Antetokounmpo, who recovered from injury.

The Bucks lost six of those games due to a right calf strain, which Antetokounmpo had missed eight games.

Chicago’s five-game winning streak was ended by their defeat, but they are still just two points clear of the Bucks in the Eastern Conference.

Wembanyama started with 32 points in his first start since November 14, but the Jazz could only manage 29 points from Lauri Markkanen and 28 from Keyonte George, which would put an eight-game winning streak on hold.

Despite Nikola Jokic’s addition to his triple-double, Anthony Black added a career-high 38 points as the Orlando Magic defeated the Denver Nuggets 127-126.

Jokic recorded his 180th triple-double of his career, just one shy of Oscar Robertson’s record-breaking total of 21 rebounds and 12 assists.
