Basketball Betting Lines

03/03/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers hope to build on a successful road trip tonight when they return to the Rose Garden to face the lowly Indiana Pacers.

The Blazers finished an impressive 4-1 trek on Monday in Memphis when Brandon Roy scored a game-high 25 points, grabbed seven rebounds and handed out five assists, helping Portland erase a double-digit halftime deficit en route to a 103-93 victory over the Grizzlies.

It was the fifth straight game that the Blazers have scored more than 100 points. They haven't cracked the century mark in six consecutive contests since Feb. 4-17, 1998.

Nicolas Batum added 21 points, while Andre Miller chipped in 12 points and 11 helpers for the Trail Blazers, who are four games ahead of both Houston and New Orleans for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western conference.

"We got into a better flow offensively in the second half," said Roy. "We feel good...This was a huge road trip for us."

The Pacers, meanwhile, dropped the opener of a four-game road trip in LA on Tuesday when Kobe Bryant finished with 24 points and six assists, as the Lakers routed Indiana, 122-99, at Staples Center.

The Lakers outscored the Pacers 38-17 in the third quarter on the way to the blowout victory, as they continued their home dominance of the Pacers. Los Angeles has won 11 in a row against the Pacers at Staples Center.

Troy Murphy had 17 points and 13 boards for Indiana, which has dropped four of five and eight of its last 10 overall. Dahntay Jones and Josh McRoberts added 16 and 15 points, respectively, off the bench.

"They dominated inside and they've got one of the two greatest players in the world on the perimeter," said Pacers head coach Jim O'Brien. "And the rest of the team isn't that bad."

Portland has won three straight over the Pacers after dropping its previous nine meetings with Indiana.
