Blazers, Clippers open second half in Rose City

Basketball Betting Lines

02/16/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers hope to have All-Star Brandon Roy in the lineup when they get back to work against the Los Angeles Clippers tonight at the Rose Garden.

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 Steve 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.
