Banged-up Warriors visit Suns

Basketball Betting Lines

01/23/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pacific Division rivals clash in the desert Saturday as the Phoenix Suns shoot for their 10th straight home win over the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors haven't tasted victory in the Valley of the Sun since a 110-100 triumph on March 18, 2005, and have lost in 26 of their last 29 trips to Phoenix.

The Suns continued to struggle Friday night, however, when Derrick Rose netted 32 points and Luol Deng added 23, as Chicago went into US Airways Center and handed Phoenix a 115-104 defeat.

Amare Stoudemire ended with 23 points while fellow All-Star starter Steve Nash was held to eight points and seven assists for the Suns, who have lost five of their last six. Grant Hill donated 17 points in the loss.

"They made a ton of shots and they shot the ball real well from the perimeter. We just never really got them to slow down," said Suns head coach Alvin Gentry.

The banged-up Warriors, meanwhile, finished a season-long seven-game homestand on a positive note last night but suffered yet another injury in the process.

Rookie Stephen Curry notched a new career-best with 32 points and handed out seven assists in that one as Golden State blew out NBA bottom- dwellers New Jersey by a 111-79 margin.

Corey Maggette gave 29 points and five assists and Cartier Martin chipped in with his career-best 16 points to go with eight rebounds for the Warriors, who closed out the residency at 3-4.

The short-handed Warriors also received a career-night from Anthony Tolliver, who posted new highs of 12 points and 10 rebounds as Golden State continues to play with league cast-offs and also-rans.

"The fact that I played 40 minutes helps," Tolliver said of his career night. "As a player, just being able to play gives you a lot of confidence."

A sprained right ankle for leading-scorer Monta Ellis only furthered the team's problems. He left in the third quarter and did not return after scoring four points in 24 1/2 minutes. X-rays were negative, but Ellis didn't travel with the team to Phoenix.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
