NBA scores, highlights, updates: Giannis Antetokounmpo, James Harden go head-to-head, Lakers host Wizards

Two-thirds of the league's teams are in action on Tuesday night. 

The main event will be when the top two NBA MVP candidates this season will go head-to-head when the Milwaukee Bucks host the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night. James Harden and Giannis Antetokounmpo will get a chance to go at it and in a showcase game on TNT that will provide both players a platform to make a statement. 

The match-up between the two teams is the second - and final - of the season, as the Bucks won the first one 116-109 back in January. Though both teams will face plenty of tough challenges along the way, there's a chance these two teams could meet again in the NBA Finals in June. Later in the evening, the Lakers will host the Washington Wizards in a match-up of two teams that didn't live up to expectations this season. 

Here is everything else you need to know about Tuesday night's schedule.

Jones Jr. absolutely posterizes Vucevic

If you thought the Miami Heat dunks on the Orlando Magic were over, you're clearly wrong. Check out the best slam dunk of them all as Derrick Jones Jr. absolutely embarrassed All-Star big man Nikola Vucevic on this play.

White block leads to Aldridge dunk

This is the absolute epitome of teamwork on both ends of the floor. Following Derrick White's block on one end, LaMarcus Aldridge proceeded to dunk it on the other end in the definition of a complete play for San Antonio.

Clarkson tosses full-court pass to Osman

Who said that Kevin Love is the only Cavalier who can throw deep passes? Jordan Clarkson just proved everyone wrong with this hail mary pass to Cedi Osman for an easy layup.

Adebayo outdoes Richardson

If you thought Josh Richardson's dunk was impressive. Check out his teammate's own version of the slam dunk. This wasn't over another player, but it had way more impact than Richardson's dunk.

Richardson dunks all over Gordon

Who says Josh Richardson doesn't produce highlights? Check out this slam dunk over the Orlando Magic's Aaron Gordon.

Irving (rest) sits against Cavaliers

Kyrie Irving said weeks ago that he planned on sitting out some games down the stretch of the regular season to keep himself fresh for the playoffs, and the Celtics decided Tuesday night's tilt against his former team in Cleveland was the right time to give the All-Star a break.
