Trae Young hit six 3-pointers and had 36 points and 11 assists, Caris LeVert added 31 points and the Atlanta Hawks beat the 76ers 124-110 on Friday night in Philadelphia, securing an Eastern Conference play-in spot.

Georges Niang scored 16 points and Mouhamed Gueye added 10 points and a career-high 18 rebounds for the Hawks. Dyson Daniels had 10 rebounds to go with 8 points, 8 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. The 6-foot-7 forward has 229 steals this season, the most since Gary Payton (231) in 1995-96.

Jared Butler led the 76ers with 25 points and seven assists, and Marcus Bagley chipped in career highs of 20 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Bagley, who went into the game 1 for 21 from 3-point range in his eight-game NBA career, hit four 3s in the final 51/2 minutes of the first half.

Bucks 125, Pistons 119 >> Giannis Antetokounmpo had 32 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds to lead Milwaukee in Detroit, securing the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Antetokounmpo has a career-high 11 triple-doubles this season, surpassing his total from last year by one.

Cade Cunningham scored 36 points on 15-of-21 shooting for the Pistons, who will be seeded sixth in their first postseason appearance since 2019.

Detroit’s Malik Beasley connected on a 3-pointer to make it 122-119 with 17 seconds left, but the Bucks sealed the win in the closely contested game with free throws.

Milwaukee’s Bobby Portis Jr. had 17 points and 10 rebounds, Kevin Porter Jr. scored 16, Brook Lopez had 15 points and seven rebounds and Kyle Kuzma added 10 points.

Beasley scored 21 points, Jalen Duren had 11 points and 16 rebounds, Tobias Harris scored 17, Dennis Schroder had 12 points and Ausar Thompson chipped in with 11 points.

Cavaliers 108, Knicks 102 >> Darius Garland scored 13 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter to lead Cleveland comeback from 23 points down in New York against the Knicks, who finished 0-8 against the top two teams in the Eastern Conference.

The Knicks were locked into the No. 3 seed in the East during the game when the Indiana Pacers, resting all five starters, were routed by the Orlando Magic to end their hopes of passing New York.

But no matter where the Knicks finished, they look a step below the teams above them. The top-seeded Cavaliers completed a four-game sweep, just as the No. 2 Boston Celtics did with their overtime victory at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.

The Cavaliers played without All-Star Donovan Mitchell and key reserves Ty Jerome and De’Andre Hunter, but went with their other four starters.

Jalen Brunson scored 27 points for the Knicks, who rested All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns but otherwise had their regular starting lineup in their third straight loss.

Celtics 130, Hornets 94 >> Payton Pritchard scored 22 points, Sam Hauser had 20 and the host Celtics earned their 60th victory of the season.

The teams will meet again in Boston on Sunday.

Derrick White added 19 points, Jayson Tatum had 16 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, and Al Horford had 13 points with 11 rebounds for the Celtics (60-21). Boston coach Joe Mazzulla rested his starters in the final quarter.

Celtics star Jaylen Brown was out with a sore right knee that’s hampered him the past month, making him ineligible for postseason awards because he didn’t reach the league’s threshold for games played.

Seth Curry led the Hornets with 17 points and hit his 82nd 3-pointer, which qualifies him for the NBA’s percentage lead. He went 5 of 7 on 3s and is at 45.6%.

Sacramento’s Zach Levin entered the night, leading at 44.6%.

Boston, which set the league record for 3s in a season this month, hit seven in the third, pushing a one-point halftime edge to 91-75 entering the fourth.

Magic 129, Pacers 115 >> Trevelin Queen scored a career-high 25 points and Anthony Black added 21 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists to lift Orlando in a battle of backups in Indianapolis.

Queen made five 3-pointers for the Magic, who won their fifth straight despite benching four starters after locking up a spot in the play-in tournament. Guard Cory Joseph, the other starter, played only 6 minutes, 16 seconds.

All five of Indiana’s starters also sat out one day after securing home-court advantage in its first playoff series since 2014. Bennedict Mathurin led the Pacers with 20 points and eight rebounds. Johnny Furphy had 17 points and six rebounds as Indiana’s six-game win streak was snapped.

The loss locked the Pacers into the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference and creates a first-round rematch against Milwaukee. Indiana won that series last season.

Sixers’ Embiid undergoes knee surgery >> Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Wednesday, and the team said he will be re-evaluated in about six weeks.Embiid originally had meniscus surgery on Feb. 6, 2024, days after Golden State forward Jonathan Kuminga fell on the leg. The 2023 league MVP returned for the playoffs, though he never fully recovered. He averaged 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 19 games this season before he was shut down.

Wells expected to miss rest of season >> Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaylen Wells is expected to miss the rest of the season after breaking his right wrist and sustaining a concussion and facial laceration in a hard fall Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets.

Wells, a former Sonoma State star, is the team’s top perimeter defender and one of the league’s top rookies. He averages 10.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. The team expects him to make a full recovery.

Wells caught an outlet pass from Ja Morant in the second quarter against the Hornets and was going up for the jam when Charlotte’s KJ Simpson caught up and inadvertently undercut him. Wells lost his balance and landed awkwardly on his side as his head hit the court near the baseline.

Wells was attended to on the floor for eight minutes. Medical personnel placed the 21-year-old Sacramento native on a stretcher and immobilized his head before he was taken to the hospital.

Wells emerged as a Rookie of the Year candidate this season after coming out of Washington State as the 39th overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft. He has started 73 of 78 games for the Grizzlies, while shooting 35.5% from 3-point range.

Wells averaged 26.3 points per game as a senior at Folsom. He transferred to Washington State after being named California Collegiate Athletic Association Player of the Year during his sophomore season at Sonoma State.
