Rockets Helps Blazers At Home

Basketball Betting Lines

James Harden dropped in 19 points off the bench as Oklahoma City lost its fourth straight game in the Alamo City.

 

Right behind the Spurs, who are a gaudy 13-1 at home, are the Blazers, who improved to 11-1 at the Rose Garden with a 117-97 rout of Denver on Saturday. Nicolas Batum returned from a brief two-game absence due to a balky knee to bury a franchise record nine three-pointers en route to a career-high 33 points against the Nuggets.

 

LaMarcus Aldridge had 29 points and nine rebounds while Marcus Camby pulled down 20 boards for the Blazers, who have won five straight on their home floor.

 

On the injury front for the Blazers, point guard Raymond Felton, who left Saturday's game with a sprained left foot, is questionable for tonight.

 

The Blazers have won two straight over the Thunder, including a 103-93 triumph on the road back on Jan. 3.

 

Denver, which is 7-4 in the Rockies this season, will also host Dallas and Golden State on its residency.

 

Luis Scola and Kyle Lowry scored 24 points apiece for the Rockets and Patrick Patterson had 14 off the bench in that one as the Timberwolves snapped an eight-game losing streak to the Rockets at home and won for only the third time in the last 18 meetings overall.

 

"We just started out with no defensive intensity," Houston coach Kevin McHale told the team's website. "We can't be a pretty team, we can't be a team that just goes out there and plays easy; we've got to be a team that's going to go out there and fight like we did when we got mad."

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - San Antonio opens up its annual Rodeo Road Trip tonight in Memphis against the Grizzlies. Since 2003, the Spurs have been forced on an extended trek for much of February since the AT&T Center hosts the annual San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo. The Spurs has consistently posted winning records during the excursion, including an NBA-record longest single road trip winning streak (eight games, achieved in 2003).

 

Things might be a little tougher this time around, however, since San Antonio is just 3-8 as the visitor so far.

 

"We got to find a way to win on the road. That's the bottom line," Tim Duncan said. "We're going to have enough opportunities coming up soon."
