Isaiah Collier had a career-high 22 assists - the most in the NBA this season and the most by a Utah player since John Stockton in 1992 - and the Jazz beat the Indiana Pacers 131-122 on Tuesday night with just seven healthy players.

Lauri Markkanen scored 27 points for the Jazz, who were short-handed after trading Georges Niang, Kyle Anderson, Walter Clayton Jr. and Taylor Hendricks to Memphis earlier Tuesday for Jaren Jackson Jr., Jock Landale, John Konchar and Vince Williams Jr.

The last NBA player with 22 assists in a game was Denver's Nikola Jokic last March 7. Collier, who played the entire game, also scored 17 points as all seven Utah players had 14 points or more. Brice Sensabaugh scored 20, Ace Bailey had 19 and Kyle Filipowski added 16 points and 16 rebounds.

Stockton had 22 assists for Utah on Dec. 18, 1992, against Philadelphia. The Hall of Famer also had eight games with 23 or more, including a career-best 28 on Jan. 15, 1991, against San Antonio.

Quenton Johnson scored 24 points on 9-of-10 shooting and Jarace Walker also had 24 for the Pacers, who held out four regular starters - All-Star Pascal Siakam, Bennedict Mathurin, Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell - for rest or because of minor injuries. All four played a night earlier, when Indiana lost 118-114 to visiting Houston.

Streaking Knicks roll but Hart injured

Karl-Anthony Towns had 19 points and 15 rebounds, and the New York Knicks rolled to their seventh straight victory, 132-101 over the Washington Wizards.

Mikal Bridges scored 23 points and Jalen Brunson added 21 for New York, although the Knicks did lose Josh Hart to an apparent injury in the third quarter. Hart, who dealt with ankle trouble earlier this season, walked gingerly to the tunnel immediately after leaving the game and did not play again.

Will Riley scored 17 points and Bub Carrington added 14 for the Wizards. Washington has won three of its last five, but the two defeats were by 31 to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday and by the same margin to the Knicks four days later.

New York has won 11 consecutive games against the Wizards.

Lakers pound Nets in Reaves’ return

LeBron James scored 25 points, Luka Doncic had 24 and the Los Angeles Lakers rolled to a 125-109 victory over the Brooklyn Nets in Austin Reaves' first game since Christmas.

Reaves had 15 points in 21 minutes after missing the last 19 games with a strained left calf. He entered late in the first quarter with the Lakers already well in control and helped them continue to pour it on during their 20-for-25 shooting start to the game.

Jake LaRavia scored 18 points for the Lakers, who finished 5-3 on their road trip and play next against Philadelphia at home Thursday night, a few hours after the NBA's trade deadline has passed.

James had said it was difficult to evaluate the team's potential without Reaves, who was averaging 26.6 points before he was hurt. They looked potent Tuesday, though it's hard to judge much against the hapless Nets, who are only good at losing badly.

Michael Porter Jr. had 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Nets, who lost for the ninth time in 10 games.

SO. MANY. HIGHLIGHTS. Lakers put on a show in Brooklyn.
