Basketball Betting Lines

New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce and San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker were named the Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for the week ending February 5. Pierce averaged 22.0 points, 6.3 assists and 5.8 rebounds to help the Celtics get to 4-0 last week. He had 30 points, seven rebounds and five helpers in a 91-89 win over New York on Friday.

 

Other nominees were Chicago's Derrick Rose, Cleveland's Anderson Varejao, Detroit's Greg Monroe, Miami's LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, Milwaukee's Brandon Jennings, Minnesota's Kevin Love, Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant, and Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge.

 

Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Golden State Warriors have waived center Earl Barron and recalled forward Chris Wright from the Dakota Wizards of the NBA Development League. Barron averaged 2.0 points in just two games for the Warriors. He was originally signed as a free agent on January 13.

 

Chauncey Billups had 18 points but left the game midway through the fourth quarter after twisting his left ankle. He didn't return.

 

Dwight Howard scored 33 points to go with 14 rebounds while Jameer Nelson returned from a five-game absence following a concussion and finished with 15 points and 12 assists. Orlando had its three-game winning streak snapped.

 

Al Jefferson paced the Jazz with 22 points as Utah dropped its third game in four tries.

 

The Hawks, coming off a 5-1 stretch, have dropped three straight to open a four-game homestand. Josh Smith and Joe Johnson totaled 18 and 17 points, respectively in defeat.

 

Frye hit a three-pointer to restore the double digit lead, and his putback slam the next time down essentially put an end to Atlanta's comeback bid.

 

Atlanta pulled within 55-48 at halftime, and was as close as two before allowing the Suns to end the third quarter on a 24-6 flurry.

 

In the final minute alone, Markieff Morris drained a three-pointer, Marcin Gortat threw down a dunk and Redd hit a jumper off a turnover to build a 20- point cushion that was too much for the hosts to overcome.
