03/14/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The reeling Toronto Raptors haven't been playing like a team headed toward the postseason and will try and salvage the finale of a four-game road trip Sunday night against the surging Portland Trail Blazers.
The Raptors fell to 0-3 on their trek last night in Oakland when rookie Stephen Curry finished with 35 points and Monta Ellis had 31, as the guards helped the Golden State Warriors end a six-game slide with a 124-112 win over Toronto.
Chris Bosh had 24 points and 11 rebounds, while Jose Calderon ended with 24 points and 12 assists for the Raptors, who have lost four in a row and eight of nine.
Toronto still hold the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, however, but is just 1 1/2 games in front of Chicago.
The Blazers, meanwhile, won their third straight against Sacramento on Friday. Brandon Roy poured in 28 points and finished 10-of-13 from the field in that one, leading Portland to a 110-94 rout of the Kings.
"I feel like I'm in a really good rhythm, especially in my in-between game," Roy said. "My pull-up jumper feels good. I feel I'm getting more explosive off the bounce where it's tougher for guys to stay in front of me."
LaMarcus Aldridge tacked on 18 points as the Trail Blazers remained in the eighth spot in the Western Conference playoff race, one game behind both San Antonio and Phoenix and a comfortable 4 1/2 games in front of Memphis.
Andre Miller recorded 15 points in the win, Portland's sixth in seven games. Nicolas Batum had 11 points, while Rudy Fernandez and Jerryd Bayless each scored 10.
Portland, which has won six of seven at the Rose Garden against the Raptors, will be trying to sweep the home-and-home season series against Toronto for a second straight season tonight.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
