Blazers, Knicks set for battle in Rose City

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A Portland Trail Blazers team aiming to improve their
position in the Western Conference playoff standings welcomes the New York Knicks to the Rose Garden tonight.
The streaking Blazers won their third straight game and for the eighth time in
nine contests on Sunday when Andre Miller scored 26 points and Portland
continued its ascent up the ladder in the West with a 92-87 victory over the
Oklahoma City Thunder.
Brandon Roy chipped in 20 points and seven assists, while Marcus Camby tallied
11 points and 12 rebounds for the Trail Blazers, who are just one-half game
behind the Thunder for sixth in the conference. Portland is also just one-half
game ahead of No. 8 San Antonio but a more than comfortable 6 1/2 games clear
of ninth place Memphis with only eight games to go in the regular season.
"It's a big win and I think they knew that too," Miller said. "They let one
slip away, but I'm sure they'll find a way to come back and make it up. They
have a lot of good, hard-playing young guys."
The Blazers' magic number to clinch a postseason berth is two and the team
still has an outside shot of capturing the Northwest Division title.
A win tonight coupled with a Memphis loss to Dallas would secure the playoff
spot for Portland. Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers are 3 1/2 games behind
division leader Utah and 2 1/2 behind second-place Denver in the Northwest.
The Knicks are limping toward the finish line and fell to 0-2 on a five-game
road trip in Salt Lake City on Monday after Carlos Boozer recorded a double-
double with 26 points and 14 rebounds, while Deron Williams registered
23 points with 14 assists, as Utah topped New York, 103-98.
Al Harrington led the Knicks with 26 points and 17 rebounds, David Lee added
16 points, Sergio Rodriguez collected 14 points and Tracy McGrady filled the
stat sheet with 13 points, six assists and four rebounds.
"They shot the ball 85-percent in the first quarter, and were 7 for 7 from
three, all we could do was pray and hope that they started missing shots,"
said Harrington.
The Knicks topped Portland in Madison Square Garden back in December and will
be attempting to sweep the home-and-home season series for the first time
since the 1999-2000 season.
