Ambitious Blazers welcome Mavs to Rose CityBasketball Betting Lines03/25/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers are on the brink of their second straight playoff appearance and hope to stay in contention tonight, when they host the Dallas Mavericks at the Rose Garden. Portland sits in the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference, just a half-game behind seventh-seeded San Antonio and 1 1/2 games in back of No. 6 Oklahoma City, and had its five-game winning streak stopped with Sunday's 93-87 setback against Phoenix in the desert. Brandon Roy scored 23 points and Andre Miller added 22 and nine assists for Portland, which got 16 points and eight rebounds from LaMarcus Aldridge. "They went zone and we didn't attack that. We stopped moving the ball and just didn't attack it," noted Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan. "We were launching our jump shots from the perimeter and they weren't going in." Aldridge is averaging 19.3 points in the last 33 games, while Miller has averaged 16.2 points and 6.4 assists since January 2 (37 games). The Blazers will put their four-game home winning streak on the line tonight, and are 23-13 in the Rose City this season. Dallas is still jockeying for position in the conference standings, as it sits a half-game behind Denver for the No. 2 spot in the West. It will begin a two- game trek Thursday against the Blazers and Warriors, and owns a 22-13 mark away from Big D this season. The Southwest Division-leading Mavericks are 2-3 since a 13-game winning streak and ended a two-game slide with a 106-96 triumph over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday in the Lone Star State. Jason Kidd netted a season-high 26 points and dished out 12 assists, while Dirk Nowitzki, who was ejected in the third quarter, finished with 18 points. Nowitzki was slapped with two quick technical fouls with 9:16 left in the third stanza with Dallas ahead, 65-56. "That was a bad decision by Dirk," Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said. "It put the team in a terrible situation and he knows it was wrong. If you get a technical, you get one and make your point and you've got to let it go. He is too important to us." Dallas went on to outscore the Clippers by a 30-19 margin in the final quarter, while Jason Terry contributed 14 points in the win. Shawn Marion and Brendan Haywood each tallied 12 points for the Mavs, who are 4 1/2 games ahead of San Antonio in the Southwest standings. Over his last three games, Terry is averaging 19.3 points. Dallas and Portland are playing the third or four matchups this season tonight, with the Blazers slated to host the Mavericks again on April 9. Portland has won the first two tests of the 2009-10 season, but the Mavs are 18-4 in the past 22 contests between the teams. One more win over the Mavs would give Portland its first series win since the 1998-99 campaign (3-0).
