Blazers host Pacers in Rose City
Basketball Betting Lines
03/03/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers hope to build on a successful
road trip tonight when they return to the Rose Garden to face the lowly
Indiana Pacers.
The Blazers finished an impressive 4-1 trek on Monday in Memphis when Brandon
Roy scored a game-high 25 points, grabbed seven rebounds and handed out five
assists, helping Portland erase a double-digit halftime deficit en route to a
103-93 victory over the Grizzlies.
It was the fifth straight game that the Blazers have scored more than 100
points. They haven't cracked the century mark in six consecutive contests
since Feb. 4-17, 1998.
Nicolas Batum added 21 points, while Andre Miller chipped in 12 points and 11
helpers for the Trail Blazers, who are four games ahead of both Houston and
New Orleans for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western conference.
"We got into a better flow offensively in the second half," said Roy. "We feel
good...This was a huge road trip for us."
The Pacers, meanwhile, dropped the opener of a four-game road trip in LA on
Tuesday when Kobe Bryant finished with 24 points and six assists, as the
Lakers routed Indiana, 122-99, at Staples Center.
The Lakers outscored the Pacers 38-17 in the third quarter on the way to the
blowout victory, as they continued their home dominance of the Pacers. Los
Angeles has won 11 in a row against the Pacers at Staples Center.
Troy Murphy had 17 points and 13 boards for Indiana, which has dropped four of
five and eight of its last 10 overall. Dahntay Jones and Josh McRoberts added
16 and 15 points, respectively, off the bench.
"They dominated inside and they've got one of the two greatest players in the
world on the perimeter," said Pacers head coach Jim O'Brien. "And the rest of
the team isn't that bad."
Portland has won three straight over the Pacers after dropping its previous
nine meetings with Indiana.
