Kevin Durant returned from a 23-game absence with 17 points in 19 minutes as the Brooklyn Nets swept past the New Orleans Pelicans 139-111.

The Phoenix Suns continued their purple patch with a 117-113 overtime win over the Utah Jazz.

Devin Booker top scored with 35 for Phoenix, while Donovan Mitchell scored 41 in vain for Utah as the Suns won their seventh in a row, while the Jazz are winless in two.
