Blazers, Clippers meet in Rose City after tradeBasketball Betting Lines02/16/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Clippers meet tonight at the Rose Garden just hours after consummating a blockbuster trade. The Blazers, who have already lost centers Greg Oden and Joel Pryzbilla for the season, acquired veteran pivot Marcus Camby from the Clips for injured forward Travis Outlaw, guard Steve Blake and $3 million dollars. Camby, a former Defensive Player of the Year, is averaging 7.7 points per game this season and 12.1 rebounds, good for second in the NBA behind Orlando's Dwight Howard. The former UMass star is also sixth in the league in blocked shots, swatting 1.94 per game. Blake is averaging 7.6 points and 4.0 assists in 51 games, while Outlaw played in just 11 games before undergoing left foot surgery in November. As for the game itself, Portland hopes to have All-Star Brandon Roy back in the lineup. Roy, the Trail Blazers' leading scorer at 23.1 points per game, has missed the team's last 12 games as well as the All-Star Game since re-injuring his hamstring in a 98-90 win at Philadelphia on Jan. 20. Prior to a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 6, the team announced Roy would miss the final three games before the break in addition to the All-Star game but general manager Kevin Pritchard sounded hopeful Roy would return soon afterwards. "We're hopeful that this extended rest will put Brandon in the best possible position to return to the lineup shortly after the All-Star break," Pritchard said at the time. The Blazers are just 5-7 since losing Roy but are holding on to the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference and entered the break on a positive note when Blake recorded season-highs of 20 points and 12 assists last Wednesday, as Portland held off a late Phoenix rally to hand the Suns a 108-101 defeat at US Airways Center. LaMarcus Aldridge had a team-high 22 points and Andre Miller checked in with 20 points, seven rebounds and five assists, helping Portland snap a two-game skid and run its winning streak against Phoenix to four games. The Clippers, meanwhile, are still searching for their first win since interim coach Kim Hughes took over the team after Mike Dunleavy stepped down. Rookie Stephen Curry picked up the slack in the absence of leading scorer Monta Ellis, notching his first ever triple-double with 36 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds last Wednesday, as Golden State routed Los Angeles, 132-102, to halt a nine-game losing streak. Al Thornton had 18 points, while Rasual Butler and Eric Gordon each scored 16 for the Clippers, who have dropped four straight and eight of their last nine games overall. Clippers All-Star center Chris Kaman, averaging a career-high 20.0 points and 8.9 rebounds, made his All-Star debut on Sunday, scoring four points with three rebounds as the injury replacement for Roy. LA snapped a four-game skid to Portland with a 105-95 win at Staples Center on Jan. 4.

FOOTBALL BETTING LINESNFL Football Sports BettingTwo playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers. New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count. New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend. His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates. HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game. The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup. RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day. First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08. The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition. These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years. New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
