Basketball Betting Lines

The Clippers, playing their second straight game without Chris Paul, were paced by Caron Butler's 14 points. Courtney Fortson added 13 while Randy Foye chipped in 11. Blake Griffin scored 10 on 5-of-12 shooting and added 11 rebounds. LA has lost 16 straight in Salt Lake City.

 

Entering Tuesday, the Clippers had won three straight, including Monday's win over the Nets -- their first since Paul was sidelined with a strained left hamstring.

 

With under five minutes remaining, Utah guard Jamaal Tinsely froze Travis Leslie on a breakaway, wrapping the ball around his own back and finishing with a layup to make it 101-69. Burks followed seconds later with a pair of free throws, marking the team's largest lead of the season.

 

In all, Utah's reserves outscored the Clippers' bench 54-32.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The reigning NBA champion Dallas Mavericks hope to salvage the back-end of a two-game stop in Los Angeles when they meet a Clippers team that could be without star point guard Chris Paul for a third straight night. The Mavs dropped a heartbreaker at Staples Center on Monday when Derek Fisher knocked down a three-pointer with 3.1 seconds remaining, lifting the Lakers to a 73-70 victory over Dallas. Fisher's go-ahead shot, from the right side over Dirk Nowitzki, was the only three-pointer the Lakers made in the game.

 

Vince Carter's three-point try at the buzzer for Dallas clanked off the back of the rim, and he limped off the court after grabbing his left foot.

 

Dallas was even worse. Nowitzki was 8-of-17 for 21 points, but the Mavs shot 35 percent and made only four of their 26 three-point attempts to have a five- game winning streak snapped. Jason Terry made a game-tying shot in the last 10 seconds for the Mavs.

 

Monday was also former Laker Lamar Odom's first trip back to play in Los Angeles since being traded to the defending champions in the offseason. He scored 10 off the bench for the Mavericks.

 

The Mavericks, who are in the midst of a four-game road trip that will finish with trips to Utah and New Orleans, are 2-4 as the visitor this season.

 

Blake Griffin scored 10 on 5-of-12 shooting and added 11 rebounds as the Clippers dropped their 16th straight in Salt Lake City.

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."
