Basketball Betting Lines

Portland, which is 1-2 as the visitor on the year, will also face Houston, New Orleans, Atlanta, Toronto and Detroit before returning to Rip City.

 

Tony Parker added a season-high 28 points, eight assists and five rebounds for San Antonio, which continues to play without star swingman Manu Ginobili (broken hand) and snapped a two-game skid.

 

Rookie Kawhi Leonard got his first start and scored 11 points with eight rebounds. Tim Duncan, meanwhile, donated 17 points, moving past Larry Bird for 27th place on the NBA's all-time scoring list. The big man also had 11 boards, five assists and three steals.

 

Duncan will have an opportunity to climb another spot tonight, as the former MVP sits just 15 points behind Gary Payton's total of 21,813.

 

San Antonio will finish a three-game homestand against Phoenix on Sunday.

 

Jordan Farmar scored a season-high 26 points off the bench, and Anthony Morrow had 23 points for the Nets, who have lost three straight and fell to 2-9 on the season.

 

Deron Williams went for a double-double with 16 points and 13 assists and Kris Humphries donated 12 points and nine rebounds for New Jersey, which continues to play without star center Brook Lopez (stress fracture, right foot), the twin brother of Phoenix backup pivot Robin Lopez.

 

After tonight the Nets, who are 2-5 as the visitor on the year, will continue their swing with visits to Utah and the LA Clippers.

 

Former All-Star Michael Redd scored 12 points on 4-of-9 shooting, including a 3-of-7 effort from beyond the arc, in his Suns debut. Redd, an 11-year veteran with a history of knee problems, signed with the Suns on Dec. 29. He had spent his entire career in Milwaukee.

 

The Suns, who will hit the road for a five-game trip after tonight's game, have won four straight and nine of 10 overall vs. the Nets.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
