76ERS 108, KNICKS 92

PHILADELPH­IA — Dario Saric scored 24 points to pace all five starters in double figures, and the Philadelph­ia 76ers won their fourth in a row, 108-92 over the slumping New York Knicks on Monday night.

J.J. Redick had 18 points, Joel Embiid scored 17 and Robert Covington and Ben Simmons each chipped in 13 for the 76ers, who won their 10th straight at home to remain in playoff position in the Eastern Conference. Philadelph­ia, which never trailed, began the night in eighth place in the East, two games clear of Detroit.

Reserve T.J. McConnell had a triple-double with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.

Michael Beasley scored 22 points to lead the Knicks, who lost their seventh straight. The Knicks were playing their third game without All-Star Kristaps Porzingis, who suffered a torn left ACL last Tuesday against Milwaukee.

CLIPPERS 114, NETS 101

NEW YORK — Lou Williams scored 20 points, DeAndre Jordan had 16 points and 17 rebounds, and they got plenty of help from a balanced Clippers lineup in a 114-101 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night.

Los Angeles put seven players in double figures and shot 56.5 percent from the field in its fourth win in five games, bouncing back nicely from a loss in Philadelph­ia.

D’Angelo Russell and Joe Harris each scored 16 for the Nets, who dropped their sixth straight.
