Basketball Betting Lines

Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - With leading scorer Kevin Martin out due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot, the Rockets still didn't have a problem handling the lowly Wizards on Friday night. Chase Budinger returned from a three-game absence to score 21 points with eight rebounds as the Rockets used a strong second-half performance to take down the Wizards, 103-76.

 

John Wall had 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists for the Wizards, who fell to 0-8 away from home this season.

 

The Wizards were held without a point for 7:57 until Nick Young finally snapped the surge with a pull-up jumper to make it a 93-64 game with 6:38 to go in the contest.

 

Game Notes

 

Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Deron Williams recorded a double-double with 27 points and 10 assists as the Nets held off the Cavaliers 99-96 at Quicken Loans Arena. Kris Humphries, who left Friday's shootaround with an illness, fought through it scoring 18 points and pulling down 11 boards. Anthony Morrow added 22 points and six rebounds.

 

The Nets have now won three of four, closing out a three game road trip. New Jersey returns home Sunday to take on Toronto.

 

The Cavaliers, who trailed by as many as 17 in the fourth, had the margin down just six with 24.9 seconds to play.

 

The Cavaliers were forced to foul and Morrow calmly hit two free throws to ice the victory for the Nets.

 

A meaningless three from Irving counted as time expired to make the final score closer than the game really was.

 

The Nets, who entered the game leading the NBA in three-pointers made, found their stroke from outside in the third as they hit five of their eight three- pointers to take a 72-61 lead entering the final stanza.

 

Game Notes

 

Despite the injuries, the Mavericks shot 55 percent and went 11-of-19 from three-point range on the way to their fourth win in five games.
