Nets Rose Smash Smash Over Wade

Basketball Betting Lines

"We just kind of fell in line behind him," said Wizards head coach Randy Wittman about Wall's play. "That is as good a game that I've had with him that he's played on both ends of the floor."

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The best from the NBA's Eastern Conference meets the worst from the West when the Chicago Bulls resume their grueling nine-game road trip against the lowly Hornets in New Orleans. The Bulls won their third straight contest and improved to 4-2 on the trek with a 108-87 blowout win over the New Jersey Nets on Monday. Chicago shot 55.6 percent from the floor, made nine three-pointers and went 19-of-23 from the foul line en route to the easy win.

 

The news wasn't all good for the Bulls, however, who lost star guard Derrick Rose in the second quarter to lower back spasms. The reigning MVP had just four points in nearly 11 minutes of action before leaving.

 

"We're a good team. If I play or if I don't play, I know that we're going to go out there, compete and play hard every single second when we're out there," said Rose.

 

Things continue to go south for the Hornets, who dropped the opener of a four- game homestand to Sacramento on Monday. New Orleans had five players in double figures in the 100-92 setback led by Greivis Vasquez's 20 points and nine assists.

 

Emeka Okafor had 19 points and Chris Kaman added a 10-point, 12-rebound double-double in his first game since January 23 for a Hornets team that has dropped six straight and 15 of 16.

 

Part of New Orleans' problems stem from injuries. High-scoring guard Eric Gordon remains out with a balky right knee, capable big Carl Landry is sidelined due to a sprained left knee, guard Jarrett Jack has been wrestling with a sore left and knee and center Jason Smith is struggling with concussion related symptoms.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Only one of Detroit's six wins this season has come on the road and the Pistons would like to change that as early as tonight, when they pay a visit to the New Jersey Nets in the opener of a home-and-home set. The Pistons and Nets will then meet at The Palace of Auburn Hills on Friday.

 

"It's more or less effort; that's basically it," Monroe said about his performance. "That's what everybody preaches, effort and position. That's something I take pride in, so what you see on the court is just me working hard, trying to do my job."

 

Ben Gordon and Will Bynum are still nursing injuries and their status for Wednesday's game is unknown. Gordon has been sidelined the last 10 games with a sore left shoulder and Bynum has missed 14 in a row with a strained right foot tendon.

 

Deron Williams ended with 25 points and five assists for the Nets, who fell to 3-8 as the host this season and are in the midst of playing six of eight games in Newark, NJ. Sundiata Gaines and Jordan Farmar scored 12 and 11 points, respectively, in a losing effort. Kris Humphries added 10 points and nine boards, and is averaging 13.4 points and 10.4 rebounds per game.

 

New Jersey won the first meeting with Detroit, 99-96, last Wednesday behind 26 points and nine assists from Williams. Humphries added 18 points and eight rebounds, while the Pistons were led by 21 points from both Monroe and Tayshaun Prince. The Nets have won four of the last six matchups with Detroit.
