Reeling Bulls visit powerhouse Mavs
Basketball Betting Lines
03/17/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bulls have picked a bad time to start playing
poorly and their chances of ending an eight-game slide don't look so promising
with tonight's road matchup against the Dallas Mavericks.
The Bulls have also dropped five in a row as the visitor, including the first
three tests of a four-game road trip. In a 104-97 loss at Memphis last night,
Ronald Murray led the way with 25 points and Hakim Warrick chipped in 22
points off the bench for Chicago, which is 12-22 away from the Windy City and
1 1/2 games behind Toronto for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East.
"There's a lot of basketball left, but we can't keep saying that," Bulls head
coach Vinny Del Negro said. "We're in a really tough stretch right now. We
have to come back to the drawing board."
Acie Law had a season-high 18 points, as the Bulls played without forward Luol
Deng (calf) and guards Derrick Rose (wrist) and Kirk Hinrich (suspension). All
three are questionable for Wednesday's game. Over his last eight games Rose is
averaging 23.6 ppg, 5.6 apg and 2.5 rpg.
The Bulls haven't lost nine in a row since opening the 2004-05 campaign with
an 0-9 record.
Dallas had its season-high 13-game winning streak come to a halt in its last
outing, a 128-94 drubbing at the hands of the lowly New York Knicks on
Saturday in Big D.
Dirk Nowitzki had 20 points and 12 rebounds, Jason Kidd scored 15 points and
Shawn Marion tallied 14 and eight boards for the Mavericks, who are four games
ahead of San Antonio for the Southwest lead and third in the Western
Conference playoff race, just a half-game behind No. 2 Denver.
"It was a poor performance all around," Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said after
the team's first loss since February 16 at Oklahoma City. "We really didn't
come close to winning a quarter. When you get thoroughly thrashed like that,
it's something that's difficult."
Over his last six games, Marion is averaging 17.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.8
steals and 1.3 blocks, while shooting 56.6 percent from the floor. Kidd is
posting 13.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 2.1 steals in 14 contests
since the All-Star break.
The Mavericks had won their previous eight home games before the recent
setback and are 1-1 on a four-game residency. They will also host Boston and
have a 23-10 home mark this season. In injury news for Dallas, guard Jason
Terry (facial surgery) is probable for tonight.
Dallas recently defeated Chicago, 122-116, on March 6 at the United Center
behind Nowitzki's 27 points and a career-high 24 from Rodrigue Beaubois. The
Mavs have won two straight, four of five and 20 of the last 23 meetings with
the Bulls, who are winless in their last four visits to Big D.
