Joe Ingles had 18 points in the Utah Jazz's 133-109 NBA win over the New Orleans Pelicans, including four of five three-point attempts.

The Australian forward added five rebounds, three assists and two steals in an a-round performance for the surging Jazz, who have won six straight.

Rodney Hood was the game's top scorer with 30 points while Ricky Rubio had 20 points and 11 assists.

Rudy Gobert added 19 points and 10 rebounds for Utah with Derrick Favors matching his points tally.

Jrue Holiday scored 28 points, and Anthony Davis had 15 points and 11 rebounds for New Orleans, who have lost four of five since All-Star centre DeMarcus Cousins suffered a season-ending achilles injury.

The Jazz led by double digits most of the way and led by as many as 20 when Rubio's driving layup made it 116-96 in the middle of the fourth quarter.

In Monday's other games, All-Star guard Bradley Beal scored 21 points and Kelly Oubre Jr had 15 to help the Washington Wizards hold on for a 111-102 victory over the Indiana Pacers.

The Wizards have won five straight without injured All-Star guard John Wall.

Bojan Bogdanovic scored 29 points for the Pacers, who were missing starting guards Victor Oladipo (illness) and Darren Collison (left knee surgery).

Andre Drummond had 17 points and 17 rebounds as the the Detroit Pistons beat the Portland Trail Blazers 111-91 for their fourth-straight victory.

Detroit have won three in a row since acquiring Blake Griffin, who contributed 21 points, nine rebounds and six assists, in a trade last week.

Mario Hezonja scored 20 points but Jonathan Simmons made the tiebreaking dunk with 1:31min remaining in the Orlando Magic's 111-109 win over the Miami Heat.

The Heat appeared to tie the game after Tyler Johnson was credited with a basket when Orlando's Bismack Biyombo was called for goaltending with 2.8secs remaining.

However, a video review overturned the call.

Bogdan Bogdanovic scored a team-high 15 points and the Sacramento Kings rallied from a 21-point, first-half deficit to beat the visiting Chicago Bulls 104-98, snapping a five game home losing streak.

Gary Harris scored 27 points and the Denver Nuggets used an array of three-point shooting to produce a 121-104 victory against the visiting Charlotte Hornets.

Dirk Nowitzki reached the 50,000-minute milestone but Danilo Gallinari stole the spotlight with two lead-changing free throws with 24 seconds remaining, helping the host Los Angeles Clippers overtake the Dallas Mavericks 104-101.
