Bobcats eye playoff spot in New Orleans

Basketball Betting Lines

04/07/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Charlotte Bobcats are on the verge of a couple of firsts in franchise history. The team can inch even closer to its initial postseason berth tonight by securing its first ever win in the Big Easy when they take on the New Orleans Hornets.

A win last night over Atlanta coupled with Chicago's loss to Milwaukee lowered Charlotte's magic number to clinch a playoff spot to two. The Bobcats can secure the berth with a win tonight along with a Toronto loss to Boston.

Gerald Wallace posted 28 points and six rebounds on Tuesday, as the Bobcats moved one step closer to the postseason with a 109-100 win over the short- handed Atlanta Hawks.

Boris Diaw added 17 points, nine assists and nine rebounds for the Bobcats, who have won three of four and improved to 30-9 at home. Charlotte, which is currently in seventh place in the East, clinched its first .500-plus season with its 41st win, and its now four games ahead of ninth-place Chicago. The Bulls are idle on Wednesday.

Stephen Jackson overcame several injuries and provided 15 points and in the win, while Raymond Felton had 14 points and six helpers.

"The first half we played great," said Bobcats head coach Larry Brown. "(Atlanta) doesn't turn the ball over. They had 10 turnovers (in the first half). We got out on the break, shared the ball; we did a lot of great things."

The Hornets, meanwhile, dropped their third straight game Saturday in New Jersey when Chris Douglas-Roberts paced eight New Jersey players in double- figure scoring with 17 points, as the New Jersey Nets put forth perhaps their best effort of the season in a 115-87 romp.

David West had 25 points to lead the Hornets, who have lost three in a row and five straight on the road. Marcus Thornton scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds.

"We wanted to come in here with a better effort than what we gave. It's a young team, they've been playing loose...they were better," West said of the Nets.

The Bobcats are 0-5 all-time in New Orleans, losing by an average of nearly 16 points per game.
