NEW YORK: Brook Lopez dominated twin brother Robin with 32 points and nine rebounds as the Brooklyn Nets beat the short-handed Portland Trail Blazers 106-96 on Monday in the only game on the NBA schedule.

The Trail Blazers left LaMarcus Aldridge and others home for the makeup of a game that was postponed by bad weather on Jan. 26 and couldn’t stop Brook Lopez, who shot 15 for 25 from the field.

Deron Williams added 24 points and 10 assists for the Nets, who closed in on a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference by winning for the ninth time in 11 games. They are in seventh place in the standings, one game ahead of Boston and two games up on Miami and Indiana.

Damian Lillard scored 36 points for the Trail Blazers, who had won two in a row. Meyers Leonard had 17 points and 15 rebounds, while Robin Lopez had just eight points and seven boards.

Besides Aldridge, Portland was without forward Nicolas Batum and backup center Chris Kaman.

Meantime, Atlanta Hawks forward Paul Millsap suffered a right shoulder sprain and contusion and will miss the next two games, the team announced Monday.

Millsap, who is averaging 16.8 points and 7.8 rebounds in 72 games this season, will miss the team’s games on Tuesday and Wednesday and then be re-evaluated. The Hawks have already locked up the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Washington Wizards signed guard Will Bynum for the remainder of the season.

Because of hamstring problems, Bynum has appeared in only three games with Washington this season after signing a 10-day contract with the team on March 27.

The Brooklyn Nets signed forward Earl Clark to a multiyear contract.

Clark, who was signed by Brooklyn to a 10-day contract on March 27, has appeared in five games for the Nets, averaging 4.4 points and 3.4 rebounds in 12.3 minutes per game.

The NBA suspended Sacramento Kings forward Carl Landry for one game without pay for leaving the bench area during an altercation.

Landry will serve his suspension on Tuesday, when the Kings host the Minnesota Timberwolves.
