Best and worst clash as Cavs face Nets
Basketball Betting Lines
03/03/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Cavaliers will try to sweep the season series
from the New Jersey Nets for a second straight year when the two teams collide
Wednesday night at the Meadowlands.
The Cavs won all three meetings a season ago and the first three matchups in
2009-10, including a 104-97 triumph in the most recent encounter on February 9
at Quicken Loans Arena. Cleveland has topped the Nets seven consecutive times
and is unbeaten in its last three trips to the IZOD Center.
Cleveland has won four in a row overall and recently handed the New York Knicks a 124-93 setback at home on Monday behind 22 points, seven assists and
seven rebounds from NBA leading scorer LeBron James. Newcomer Antawn Jamison
registered 17 points and 12 rebounds, while J.J. Hickson also scored 17 points
for the Central Division-leading Cavs, who are the top team in the NBA and own
the league's best record at 47-14.
"It was a good win. I thought that after getting up big, we did a nice job of
staying focused, coming out in the third quarter and trying to close and
finish the game the right way," Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown said. "Give
everybody in that locker room credit for trying to string a game together for
48 minutes, even though we were fortunate to get off to a big lead."
The top team in the East learned earlier in the day that future Hall of Fame
center Shaquille O'Neal is expected to be sidelined for the next eight weeks
after undergoing surgery for an injured right thumb. Cleveland will have to
make due without Shaq, and has won 12 of its last 16 road games. It is 21-10
as the guest this season. Cavs guard Daniel Gibson (personal) is questionable
for Wednesday's game against New Jersey.
The Nets failed to build off a huge win at Boston by dropping an 89-85
decision to the Washington Wizards the last time out on Sunday in the opener
of a three-game homestand. Yi Jianlian had 20 points and a career-high 19
boards to pace the Nets, who posted a 104-96 victory over the Celtics to snap
a four-game slide.
Devin Harris had 18 points, 14 assists and seven boards, while Brook Lopez
added 16 points and 10 rebounds in defeat.
"At the end of the day, they hit a couple of tough shots and we missed a
couple of tough ones," Nets coach Kiki Vandeweghe said after the Nets fell to
an NBA-worst 6-53 this season. "We missed a couple of free throws. But all in
all, I thought we played 40 minutes of pretty good basketball and maybe didn't
have the legs to finish it."
New Jersey will also host Orlando on the residency and is 3-26 at home. On the
injury front, guard Courtney Lee is expected to miss tonight's game because of
a sprained left ankle. The Nets are hoping to avoid breaking the NBA mark for
futility held by the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers, who went 9-73 that year.
