CLEVELAND (AP) — The struggling Cavaliers signed guard Cameron Payne to a 10-day contract.

To make roster space, the Cavs waived swingman Patrick McCaw, who signed with the club as a free agent on Dec. 28. He played in three games with Cleveland.

Payne will give the Cavs a backup for rookie Collin Sexton and backcourt depth while Matthew Dellavedova deals with a sore foot. Payne averaged 5.7 points and 2.7 assists in 31 games — 12 starts — for Chicago before he was waived by the Bulls.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A laugher nearly turned into a nightmare for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"I appreciate the love from everyone," he said. "It makes me feel very welcome."

CLEVELAND (AP) — Matthew Dellavedova is coming back to the Cavaliers. He won't recognize them.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo had 31 points and 18 rebounds, Matthew Dellavedova scored all 10 of his points in the fourth quarter and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Philadelphia 76ers 107-85 on Monday night for their fourth straight win since firing coach Jason Kidd.

Antetokounmpo picked up his 22nd double-double of the season to lead the Bucks, who tightened up their defense after allowing the Sixers to score 22 of their first 26 points in the paint.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — What a difference a week makes for the Milwaukee Bucks.

They won their fourth straight game since coach Jason Kidd was fired by beating the Philadelphia 76ers 107-95 on Monday night. And now they're getting forward Jabari Parker back in a few days.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 31 points and 18 rebounds, and Matthew Dellavedova scored all 10 of his points in the fourth quarter for the Bucks, who moved to 27-22 and look like a contender again in the Eastern Conference.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo and Eric Bledsoe led the Milwaukee Bucks to victory. Matthew Dellavedova was the one who really got the Washington Wizards' attention.

Antetokounmpo had 34 points and 12 rebounds, and Bledsoe scored 15 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter of Milwaukee's 110-103 victory Saturday night.

But it was Dellavedova who left Washington steaming after a fourth-quarter flagrant 2 foul on Bradley Beal that resembled a football tackle and threatened to spark a brawl.

The team says forward Mirza Teletovic is expected to miss four weeks following arthroscopic surgery on Tuesday to repair cartilage in his left knee. He has missed the last six games.

The 6-foot-9 Teletovic is a key player off the bench for Milwaukee. He is averaging 7.1 points in 10 games this season, shooting 46 percent from 3-point range.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — For a team fighting to make the playoffs, the absence of its second-leading scorer could have presented a huge problem.

Milwaukee was 22-29 when it lost Jabari Parker and his 20.1 points per game to a season-ending knee injury last month. Yet after escaping with a 97-96 victory Wednesday night over the Los Angeles Clippers, the Bucks are a surprising 11-5 since Parker got hurt and they sit in seventh place in the Eastern Conference.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — For much of the season, the Milwaukee Bucks have relied on Giannis Antetokounmpo to carry the scoring load.

Not Saturday night. The All-Star got lots of support against Minnesota.

Tony Snell scored 19 points, Antetokounmpo had 18 and the balanced Bucks beat the Timberwolves 102-95 for their season-high sixth consecutive victory.

Milwaukee had seven players score in double figures. Matthew Dellavedova had 16 points and Greg Monroe finished with 12.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Basketball fans may have done a double take upon seeing the Australian Open schedule on Sunday: Matthew Dellavedova was playing his first-round match on Court 7.

It wasn't the Australian-born NBA player, though. It was his cousin, 16-year-old Matthew Dellavedova, who's entered in the boys' singles and doubles events at Melbourne Park.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Barring an unlikely playoff matchup, the Milwaukee Bucks played their final game at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Wednesday night.

They will be taking away a lot of good memories.

Jabari Parker scored 31 points and Giannis Antetokuompo had 23 points and eight assists as the Bucks beat the Detroit Pistons 119-94. Milwaukee scored 58 points in the paint, hit 50 percent of its 3-pointers and had 36 assists on 48 field goals.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Bucks coach Jason Kidd wondered if his young team could rebound from a third-quarter lull.

Milwaukee's kids did just that, winning their fourth straight game despite letting a 16-point third-quarter lead slip away.

Matthew Dellavedova scored 12 of his season-high 18 points in the fourth quarter, helping the Bucks hold off the Brooklyn Nets 112-103 on Saturday.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — John Henson's tip-in at the buzzer gave the Milwaukee Bucks a 110-108 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night, their first of the season.
