Game Backs Suns Against Stops

Basketball Betting Lines

The Raptors dropped three of four meetings with Boston last season and has lost 15 of the previous 17 matchups between the Atlantic Division foes. Boston will put its six-game home winning streak in this series on the line tonight.

"They are a great defensive team and I just tried to penetrate and make plays for guys," Conley said. "To beat a good team like Chicago, you have to have energy. You have to outwork them. That's what we wanted to do from the beginning of the game, pick up fullcourt, inbounds plays and make a statement that we're going to be in this game for all four quarters."

Memphis, however, has played poorly on the road this season. The Grizz, who will play six of their next seven away from Beale Street, are just 1-4 as the visitor on the year and barely averaging 80 points in those contests.

Emeka Okafor tallied 12 points and 10 rebounds for New Orleans, which is just 3-10 on the season and 1-6 in NOLA. Chris Kaman donated 12 points and six boards.

"We just shot ourselves in the foot," Okafor said. "We played good defense and set our turnovers across the board. We just have to do a better job of taking care of the basketball."

Memphis has won three straight overall vs. the Hornets.

Darren Collison and Paul George added 17 points apiece for the Pacers, who have won five of six overall to improve to 9-3 this season.

The Kings, meanwhile, are returning home for a short stop after a 1-4 road trip, culminating with Monday's 99-86 loss at Minnesota.
