NBA basketball betting lines have the Nuggets listed as 9-point road favorites.

Denver has lost three of its last four on the road, averaging 95.0 points during that span.

The Nuggets have three road wins over the Clippers during their seven straight victories in the series. Denver has beaten Los Angeles by an average of 11.4 points since a 101-90 road loss in 2007.

Los Angeles may be without second-year guard Eric Gordon, who missed a 106-91 loss to Memphis on Wednesday night due to a strained groin. The Clippers fell to 1-8 when Gordon doesn’t play.

Gordon, averaging 18.9 points and 1.7 steals, is day to day.

Chris Kaman is averaging 21.5 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.5 blocks so far this season for the Clippers.

NBA basketball betting odds have the Cavs listed as 5-point road favorites to do just that.

The Cavaliers have won five straight in spite of the frontcourt injuries, in large part because of James. He scored 20 of his 31 points in the second half Tuesday and finished with a season-high-tying 12 assists to help the Cavaliers win for the eighth time in nine games.

James is averaging 31.0 points and 8.2 assists during Cleveland’s winning streak, increasing his season averages to 27.8 and 8.0, respectively.

The Wizards will try to continue their home success against the Cavaliers and snap a six-game slide that started in Cleveland. They haven’t dropped seven in a row since last December.

NBA basketball betting odds have not been posted at this time.

Kobe Bryant was 5 of 20 from the field on Sunday and scored 18 points, two nights after finishing with 19 against Denver. Bryant, who aggravated a groin injury against the Rockets but is set to play tonight, hasn’t been held under 20 in three straight games since April 2-7, 2005.

While Bryant tries to end his shooting slump, Detroit’s Ben Gordon is coming off a far worse performance. The Pistons led Dallas by six at halftime Sunday but lost 95-90 as Gordon missed 15 of 16 shots, the last a potential tying 3-pointer with two seconds left.

The teams split their two meetings in ’08-’09, with Detroit handing the Lakers their first loss, 106-95 at home.

NBA basketball betting odds have the Hawks listed as 3.5-point home favorites.

The Blazers have won their last six games by an average of 14.3 points, with the biggest improvement coming on defense. Portland was giving up a respectable 93.2 points per game through its first five contests, but has cut that average to 82.0 points since Nov. 6.

The last time Atlanta won its first five home games was in 1997-98, when it opened 7-0.

Along with the addition of Jamal Crawford, the biggest difference so far has been the Hawks’ interior play. They are first in the NBA with an average of 54.0 points in the paint.

The Pacific Division-leading Phoenix Suns look to win their fifth straight game tonight, when they’ll face the defending champion L.A. Lakers for the first time this season.

NBA basketball betting odds have the Lakers currently listed as 7.5-point home favorites.

After missing the playoffs last season for the first time since 2004, the Suns are off to their best start since opening 11-1 in 1980-81. Phoenix has scored 100 or more points in each of its first nine games for the first time since 1990-91. The Suns lead the NBA in points per game this season with 112.3.

Steve Nash averaged 7.5 points and 9.5 assists in two games versus the Lakers last season before missing the final two matchups with a sprained right ankle.

Andrew Bynum is expected back in the lineup tonight at Staples Center after missing two games with a strained right elbow suffered in a 103-102 overtime victory at Houston on Nov. 4.

O’Neal has had some trouble fitting in with Cleveland’s system, but the Cavaliers appear pleased with how it’s working.

He played 19 minutes in a 100-91 victory over New York on Friday, finishing with seven points and four rebounds. Cleveland held a double-digit lead for most of that game, which may have contributed to his lack of playing time.

Reigning MVP LeBron James scored 33 points with eight rebounds and nine assists.

Including playoff games the Cavaliers have lost six straight and eight of nine in Orlando.

Carter averaged 19.0 points against the Cavaliers last season while with New Jersey, but shot only 37.5 percent in those games.

With both teams playing well, oddsmakers are still working on setting a NBA betting line for this one.

The Celtics saw their unbeaten run come to an end Friday with a 110-103 home loss to Western Conference-leading Phoenix. That was the third game in four nights for Boston, which proceeded to travel to New Jersey for another game Saturday night, which they won 86-76.

Utah has experienced a surprising amount of success against the Celtics in recent years, taking four of six meetings, including two of three in Boston, since the start of the 2006-07 season.

Utah has alternated wins and losses in its last four games, and is seeking its first consecutive victories since March 28 and 30.

NBA basketball betting odds like the Blazers in this one as they are listed as 5.5-point favorites.

With Iverson’s status in question, the Grizzlies will likely have to rely on the core of Rudy Gay, O.J. Mayo, and Mike Conley.

The Grizzlies, who haven’t won since beating Toronto on Oct. 30, have lost seven straight to the Trail Blazers since a 96-92 victory on March 29, 2007.

Portland, which is opening a five-game road trip, has won two in a row since switching to a three-guard lineup featuring Brandon Roy, Andre Miller, and Steve Blake.

Roy averaged 22.3 points in four games against the Grizzlies last season and is trying to bounce back from a two-point effort Sunday.
