Raptors take on hapless Nets minus Bosh
Basketball Betting Lines
02/19/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Raptors, minus All-Star Chris Bosh, will hit
the road Friday night for a showdown against the Atlantic Division-foe New Jersey Nets at the IZOD Center.
Toronto has won the first two meetings of the season with New Jersey and three
in a row overall, including a 108-99 triumph in the previous matchup on
February 3 at Air Canada Centre. Bosh and Andrea Bargnani both scored 20
points in that one, while Bargnani is averaging 18.0 points in two contests
against the Nets this season.
Bosh recently contributed a game-high 32 points and 10 rebounds in a 109-102
overtime loss to the Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday night in Toronto, but is
expected to miss the next two games because of a left ankle problem. It was
Bosh's 12th 30-point, 10-rebound effort of the season, ranking him second in
the NBA behind Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant. Bosh is averaging 29.2 points,
11.4 rebounds and shooting .557 from the field this month.
"Hopefully it's nothing serious and he can bounce back," Raptors coach Jay
Triano said of Bosh, who has scored 20 or more points in eight straight games.
"Our depth and our bench will be tested now."
Bargnani had 14 points and 10 boards in the loss, just Toronto's second in the
past 10 games. The Raptors are 9-17 as the visitor and have reached the
century mark in scoring in a franchise-best 18 straight games.
New Jersey will resume a four-game homestand Friday and opened the residency
with an 87-84 setback versus the Miami Heat even with star Dwyane Wade
sidelined most the night with a balky calf. Brook Lopez had 26 points and 10
rebounds for the Nets, who failed to build on Tuesday's win over the Charlotte Bobcats. Lopez is the only player in the NBA to average at least 18.5 points,
8.9 rebounds and 1.94 blocks. He is the only Net to start in all 54 games,
averaging 18.9 points, 8.9 rebounds and 1.94 blocks in 37 minutes.
Devin Harris scored 18 points and dished out six assists, while Terrence
Williams had 14 points in defeat. The Nets are still on pace to threaten the
1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers' 9-73 mark for futility, and have lost nine of 10
to fall to a dreadful 5-49 on the season.
"We played good enough defense to win the game, we just couldn't hit a shot,"
said Nets head coach Kiki Vandeweghe. "We missed wide open shots. Our defense
kept us in the game during the really slow periods. On the last few
possessions we got good shots; we just didn't knock them down."
The Nets will also host the Grizzlies and Blazers, and are 3-22 at the
Meadowlands this season.
