Celtics hope to get back on track vs. BobcatsBasketball Betting Lines03/03/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Celtics have lost two in a row as the host and will try to regain homecourt supremacy tonight versus the Charlotte Bobcats at TD Garden. Boston is 16-11 in Beantown this season and split six games at home last month. It put the brakes on a two-game slide with a 105-100 victory at Detroit on Tuesday, as Ray Allen finished with 18 points and Rajon Rondo chipped in 15 points and 11 assists to lead the charge. Boston welcomed back Paul Pierce from a three-game absence because of a thumb injury, and the All-Star scored nine points for the Atlantic Division-leading Celtics. Kevin Garnett registered 14 points and nine rebounds, while Nate Robinson also scored 14 points in a winning cause. "We want to wind him up and let him go," Boston coach Doc Rivers said of Robinson, who was acquired from New York before the trade deadline. "Bottom line is he is a scorer and that is what we want him to do." Celtics center Kendrick Perkins missed Tuesday's game with flu-like symptoms and is questionable for tonight. Boston is fourth in the Eastern Conference standings, just a half-game behind the Atlanta Hawks. The Bobcats are back on the road after suffering am 89-84 home loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Monday at Time Warner Cable Arena. Stephen Jackson totaled 20 points and seven rebounds for Charlotte, which wasted a 12-point lead in the third quarter and lost for the fourth time in five contests. Tyrus Thomas added 16 points and 12 boards in defeat, as the Bobcats failed to build off a win at Memphis on February 26. "This whole game was disappointing," Jackson said. "We played scared. We didn't compete, we didn't play hard. We didn't go into this game feeling like we could win it. It seems like we gave up early." It was Charlotte's first game since Bobcats owner Robert Johnson reached a definitive agreement to sell a majority interest of the club to Hall of Famer Michael Jordan. The Bobcats, who are a half-game behind Miami for the final postseason spot in the East, went 1-3 on a recent four-game trek and are 8-22 as the visitor this season. Boston is 2-0 against the Bobcats in 2009-10 and has won three straight and 15 of the 20 matchups between the teams. Charlotte is winless in its previous three trips to the New England area.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter JohnsonJUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm. MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season . ''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.'' Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain. He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday. ''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.'' Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia. Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind. With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
