Spurs, Kings go at it in Sacramento
Basketball Betting Lines
04/06/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - With a playoff berth already secured, the San Antonio Spurs
get back to work tonight in California's capital against the lottery-bound
Sacramento Kings.
Manu Ginobili scored 17 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter on Sunday as
the Spurs routed the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers 100-81 at
Staples Center to punch their postseason ticket for the 13th straight time.
Tim Duncan added 24 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs, who won their third
straight contest to move a half-game ahead of Portland for the seventh playoff
spot in the Western Conference. They are also just one game behind Oklahoma
City for sixth with six games left.
"It was a good win for us against the best team in the West," said Spurs coach
Gregg Popovich. "Manu has been playing All-Star basketball for the last month
and a half now. Manu has kept us together."
The news wasn't all good for San Antonio, however. Already without star point
guard Tony Parker, the Spurs were dealt another blow when George Hill left
the game in the second quarter with a sprained right ankle.
Hill, who is averaging 15.8 points per game as a starter this season and moved
to point guard when Parker broke his right ring finger in early March, is
expected to miss at least two games. Parker, meanwhile, may be able to return
early next week.
The Kings are limping toward the finish line and dropped their seventh
straight game on Saturday when Brandon Roy tallied game-highs of 24 points and
six assists, as Portland topped Sacramento, 98-87, at ARCO Arena.
Beno Udrih had 22 points and six assists for the Kings, while Jason Thompson
came up with 18 points and Carl Landry 14 with nine rebounds in the loss.
"It's tough, (we are) a team that needs to grow because we're so young. We
just have to continue to fight," Landry said.
Rookie star Tyreke Evans, who is playing through some swelling in his right
knee, had one of his worst games as a pro, shooting just 2-for-12 and
finishing with six points.
San Antonio has won eight straight over the Kings and will be aiming to sweep
the season series for the second straight year tonight. The Spurs are unbeaten
in their last four trips to Sacramento.
