New Boosts Tonight With Stops

Basketball Betting Lines

The Raptors dropped three of four meetings with Boston last season and has lost 15 of the previous 17 matchups between the Atlantic Division foes. Boston will put its six-game home winning streak in this series on the line tonight.

 

"They are a great defensive team and I just tried to penetrate and make plays for guys," Conley said. "To beat a good team like Chicago, you have to have energy. You have to outwork them. That's what we wanted to do from the beginning of the game, pick up fullcourt, inbounds plays and make a statement that we're going to be in this game for all four quarters."

 

Memphis, however, has played poorly on the road this season. The Grizz, who will play six of their next seven away from Beale Street, are just 1-4 as the visitor on the year and barely averaging 80 points in those contests.

 

Emeka Okafor tallied 12 points and 10 rebounds for New Orleans, which is just 3-10 on the season and 1-6 in NOLA. Chris Kaman donated 12 points and six boards.

 

"We just shot ourselves in the foot," Okafor said. "We played good defense and set our turnovers across the board. We just have to do a better job of taking care of the basketball."

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The improved Pacers take their act out west for a three- game road trip starting with tonight's tip-off in Sacramento. Indiana, which will play six of its next seven away from home, won its third straight game on Saturday when Danny Granger scored 21 points as the Pacers beat the Boston Celtics for the second time in nine days, 97-83.

 

Darren Collison and Paul George added 17 points apiece for the Pacers, who have won five of six overall to improve to 9-3 this season.

 

Five Kings players scored in double figures in that one, including 12 points apiece for Marcus Thornton, Jason Thompson and Francisco Garcia, but the team lost its third in a row and fell to 1-5 in the last six contests.

 

The biggest culprit in the Kings' stagnant offense has been former Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans, who has scored just 12 points in the team's previous two games.

 

Indiana has won three of its past four visits to California's capital.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Knicks attempt to avoid dropping their fourth straight game when they entertain the Phoenix Suns tonight in the second portion of a four-game homestand from Madison Square Garden. The Knicks suffered their third loss in a row with Monday's 102-93 setback versus Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Ryan Anderson made seven three-pointers en route to a career-high 30 points for the Magic and Howard ended with just eight points and 10 rebounds. Orlando shot 50.7 percent from the floor and went 17-for-35 from beyond the arc.
