Rockets Adds Time With Home

Basketball Betting Lines

"It's a tough place to play at," said Thunder guard Russell Westbrook about San Antonio. "They have the best home record in the league. We just didn't get off to the start we wanted to defensively."

Right behind the Spurs, who are a gaudy 13-1 at home, are the Blazers, who improved to 11-1 at the Rose Garden with a 117-97 rout of Denver on Saturday. Nicolas Batum returned from a brief two-game absence due to a balky knee to bury a franchise record nine three-pointers en route to a career-high 33 points against the Nuggets.

LaMarcus Aldridge had 29 points and nine rebounds while Marcus Camby pulled down 20 boards for the Blazers, who have won five straight on their home floor.

On the injury front for the Blazers, point guard Raymond Felton, who left Saturday's game with a sprained left foot, is questionable for tonight.

The Blazers have won two straight over the Thunder, including a 103-93 triumph on the road back on Jan. 3.

Denver, which is 7-4 in the Rockies this season, will also host Dallas and Golden State on its residency.

The Rockets, who are resuming a six-game road trip tonight, have also hit the skids a bit recently, losing for the third time in four games on Saturday in the opener of the trek in Minnesota, 100-91.

The Rockets are just 3-8 on the road and will also visit Portland, Phoenix, Golden State and Memphis before returning to South Texas.

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - San Antonio opens up its annual Rodeo Road Trip tonight in Memphis against the Grizzlies. Since 2003, the Spurs have been forced on an extended trek for much of February since the AT&T Center hosts the annual San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo. The Spurs has consistently posted winning records during the excursion, including an NBA-record longest single road trip winning streak (eight games, achieved in 2003).

This year's version of the Rodeo Road Trip will be a nine-game affair that includes tonight's stop on Beale Street as well as games in Philadelphia, New Jersey, Detroit, Toronto, in LA vs. the Clippers, Utah, Portland and Denver before the team returns to the Alamo City for a Feb. 29 date with Chicago.

"We got to find a way to win on the road. That's the bottom line," Tim Duncan said. "We're going to have enough opportunities coming up soon."
