Bradley Beal's 34-point haul for the Washington Wizards inspired them to victory over the Phoenix Suns, while Gordon Hayward's strong display helped to create the Charlotte Hornets' fourth consecutive victory on Monday.
Meanwhile, the game between the Dallas Mavericks and the visiting New Orleans Pelicans was postponed due to health and safety protocols. Tuesday night's contest between the Boston Celtics and hosts Chicago Bulls will also not take place.
It brings the total number of match postponements this season to four, leading to rumours the league is considering a one to two-week pause. According to ESPN reports, the NBA has called a special Board of Governors meeting for Tuesday.
