Toronto Joins San Over Antonio

Basketball Betting Lines

Portland, which is 1-2 as the visitor on the year, will also face Houston, New Orleans, Atlanta, Toronto and Detroit before returning to Rip City.

 

Tony Parker added a season-high 28 points, eight assists and five rebounds for San Antonio, which continues to play without star swingman Manu Ginobili (broken hand) and snapped a two-game skid.

 

Rookie Kawhi Leonard got his first start and scored 11 points with eight rebounds. Tim Duncan, meanwhile, donated 17 points, moving past Larry Bird for 27th place on the NBA's all-time scoring list. The big man also had 11 boards, five assists and three steals.

 

Duncan will have an opportunity to climb another spot tonight, as the former MVP sits just 15 points behind Gary Payton's total of 21,813.

 

San Antonio will finish a three-game homestand against Phoenix on Sunday.

 

The Nets have lost nine of 10 overall since winning their season opener with the latest defeat coming Wednesday in Denver when Danilo Gallinari led six teammates in double-figures with 22 points as the Nuggets downed New Jersey, 123-115.

 

Deron Williams went for a double-double with 16 points and 13 assists and Kris Humphries donated 12 points and nine rebounds for New Jersey, which continues to play without star center Brook Lopez (stress fracture, right foot), the twin brother of Phoenix backup pivot Robin Lopez.

 

The Suns haven't been playing all that well either and dropped the opener of a brief two-game homestand to Cleveland on Thursday. Rookie star Kyrie Irving outdueled Steve Nash in that one, scoring a game-high 26 points.

 

Nash had 16 points and 15 assists while Marcin Gortat posted a double-double of 14 points and 10 boards for Phoenix, which dropped its second straight overall and saw its three-game home winning streak come to an end.
