Blazers take on Warriors without Aldridge
Basketball Betting Lines
02/15/2012 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers will be without All-Star forward
LaMarcus Aldridge tonight when they square off with the surging Golden State Warriors in Oakland.
Aldridge sprained his left ankle early in Portland's 124-109 home loss to
Washington last night. X-rays were negative but Aldridge, the Blazers' leading
scorer (22.6 points per game) and rebounder (8.3), did not travel with the
team to California.
"I'm going to get back as soon as I can!" Aldridge Tweeted after the game.
Nicolas Batum led the Blazers against the Wizards with 33 points and Gerald
Wallace had 25 in Portland's fourth loss in five games. Marcus Camby recorded
13 points and 12 rebounds in Portland's first three-game losing streak at home
since March 29- April 6, 2008.
"They just outworked us," Blazers head coach Nate McMillan said. "Somewhere
along the line, pride has to show up. We just looked like we were waiting for
someone to rescue us, and we have to do that ourselves."
The Warriors come in having won three straight after Monday's 102-96 triumph
over Phoenix. David Lee finished with 28 points and 12 rebounds in that one as
Golden State snapped a seven-game losing streak against the Suns.
Monta Ellis chipped in 18 points and Klay Thompson netted 10 for Golden State,
which has won three straight for the first time this season. Nate Robinson was
a spark off the bench, scoring nine of his 11 points in the fourth quarter.
"I told them at halftime, the old Warrior team would be down 15-20 points
because their defense wouldn't have kept them in the game," Golden State head
coach Mark Jackson said. "In spite of us missing shots, our defense allowed us
to still be in the ballgame."
The Warriors have won four straight over the Blazers, including a 101-93 win
in Oakland on Jan, 25. Portland, meanwhile, is just 4-10 as the visitor on the
year and has lost five of its last six road games overall.
