Raptors hope to stay hot at home vs. hapless Nets
Basketball Betting Lines
02/03/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Raptors will be shooting for a sixth
consecutive victory at the Air Canada Centre in tonight's matchup with a New Jersey Nets squad with a mere one road win on the season.
Toronto has been tough to top on its home floor during the 2009-10 campaign,
with the playoff hopefuls having amassed a strong 17-6 record at the Air
Canada Centre. The Raptors haven't lost there since a 114-107 setback to
Atlantic Division leader Boston on January 10.
The Raptors did have a five-game overall win streak come to a close, however,
with Tuesday's disappointing 130-115 defeat at Indiana. The Pacers shot a
scorching 52.4 percent from the field en route to their highest-scoring output
of the season.
"We played terrible defense tonight," remarked Raptors forward Andrea Bargnani
after the game. "Look at how many points they scored. They scored 130. We
played terrible, but you have to give [the Pacers] credit. They played really
good."
Bargnani had a terrific offensive performance in the loss, with the former No.
1 overall pick netting a career-best 34 points. Chris Bosh had a monster night
as well, racking up 35 points and 15 rebounds, while Marco Belinelli ended
with 21 points for Toronto.
The Raptors have now eclipsed the 100-point mark in 14 straight games and lead
the Eastern Conference in scoring (104.4 ppg) this season.
The Nets, on the other hand, are averaging a league-worst 89.8 points per game
and are also saddled with the NBA's worst record, a horrid 4-43 ledger. New
Jersey has been especially dismal on the road, where the league doormats have
gone a woeful 1-23 for the season.
The team's latest three losses have come at home, the most recent being last
night's 97-93 verdict to Detroit in which the Pistons outscored the Nets 10-2
over the final two minutes.
New Jersey fought back from a six-point deficit early in the fourth quarter
and held a 91-87 advantage after Kris Humphries' jump shot with 2:21 to go.
Detroit then ripped off eight straight points to move back in front, and the
Nets' Devin Harris couldn't knock down a potential game-tying three-pointer in
the final seconds.
"I like the way we're playing for the first 45 minutes, but we have to really
focus on those last three minutes of the game," said Harris, who returned from
a four-game absence due to a sprained right wrist to amass 24 points and 14
assists. Brook Lopez came up with a game-high 27 points in a losing cause.
The Nets have left with a win in two of their last three visits to the Air
Canada Centre, but were 118-95 losers when these Atlantic Division foes
squared off in Toronto back on December 18.
Toronto will begin a four-game homestand this evening that also includes
encounters with two other also-rans in Sacramento and Philadelphia. The
Raptors close out the residency against Memphis on February 17.
