Blazers welcome Kings to Rose Garden
Basketball Betting Lines
03/09/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers hope to bounce back from one of
their worst defensive performances of the season tonight when they take on the
Sacramento Kings at the Rose Garden.
Carmelo Anthony posted 30 points on Sunday to lead Denver to a 118-106 victory
over Portland in a Northwest Division battle.
Jerryd Bayless scored 24 points to lead the Trail Blazers, who had won five of
six coming into the game. Andre Miller added 29 points and LaMarcus Aldridge
had 16 for Portland. Brandon Roy, however, made just 3-of-14 from the floor
for 12 points in defeat.
"Every time we would get it under 10, we would turn the ball over, miss some
free throws or just something to allow them to get their momentum back,"
Blazers head coach Nate McMillan said.
Defense has been a key to Portland's success all year and the team is a
miserable 4-16 when they allow 100 points or more.
The Kings, meanwhile, dropped their second straight game on Sunday when Kevin
Durant scored 27 points, grabbed eight rebounds and dished out five assists,
as the Thunder stayed hot with a 108-102 win over Sacramento at ARCO Arena.
Rookie star Tyreke Evans paced the Kings with 24 points and seven assists, but
Sacramento suffered its eighth loss in 11 games. Carl Landry provided 20
points and eight rebounds, while Francisco Garcia had 14 points in the
setback.
"We did so many good things out there against a really good team," said Kings
head coach Paul Westphal. "They're one of the best defensive teams in the
league, and we really defended them pretty well, but we couldn't keep them off
the glass."
Rookie Omri Casspi was given the night off by Westphal against Oklahoma City
but is expected to be back in the lineup tonight as Sacramento attempts to
stop a four-game slide against the Blazers.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend. Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
