03/28/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of Western Conference contenders jockey for playoff position tonight when the Oklahoma City Thunder welcome the Portland Trail Blazers to Ford Center.
The Thunder, who are currently the sixth seed in the West, a game ahead of both the Blazers and San Antonio, are coming off their most impressive win of the season, a 91-75 blowout of the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.
Kevin Durant poured in 26 points and grabbed eight rebounds in that one. Russell Westbrook added 23 points and six assists for the Thunder, who have won two in a row following a two-game skid for Oklahoma City, which is just three games behind both Dallas and Denver for the No. 2 seed.
Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic each donated 10 points. Krstic also had 10 rebounds for the victors.
"Coming down the stretch we need wins like this," Durant said. "We're maturing as a group. We're getting better."
The Blazers, meanwhile, continue to play well down the stretch and won for the seventh time in eight games last night in New Orleans when Brandon Roy shot 12-for-14 from the floor to end with 28 points, as Portland improved its own playoff standing and simultaneously eliminated New Orleans from postseason contention with a 112-101 win.
"When my mid-range game is falling like it did tonight I think it's going to be tough to defend and I just wanted to take what they gave me," Roy said.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 24 points, Marcus Camby posted 14 rebounds and 11 points and Nicolas Batum chipped in 13 points for the Blazers, who opened up a 5 1/2- game lead over Memphis for the eighth and final bid in the West.
These two teams have split a pair of meetings so far this season with each winning on the other's home floor.

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.
New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.
His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.
HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.
The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.
RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.
First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.
The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.
These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.
New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
