Points Adds Memphis In Magic

Basketball Betting Lines

Hedu Turkoglu had seven points and Ryan Anderson went 0-for-8 from the field for zero points. Glen Davis provided six points and 11 rebounds against his former team. The Magic entered the game having won six of seven games. Orlando head coach Stan Van Gundy was at a loss for words on his team's poor play.

 

"I can't explain it. I can't explain why," he said. "They took us out of everything we did. I'm not saying we don't deserve blame, give us a lot of blame, but also make sure you give them a lot of credit.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Heat will finish a five-game homestand by welcoming the Cavaliers and the new face of their franchise, Kyrie Irving, to the shores of Biscayne Bay. Cleveland, of course, was the NBA home of superstar LeBron James for the first seven years of his career before the All-Star "took his talents to South Beach" before last season. James was a two-time NBA MVP with the Cavs, a former scoring champion and led the team to the 2007 NBA Finals before the Cavs succumbed to the San Antonio Spurs.

 

James also led Miami to the NBA Finals last season but the Heat lost in six games to the Dallas Mavericks.

 

The Heat have been without star guard Dwyane Wade during their current residency but won the first three tests before finally slipping on Sunday to Milwaukee. Brandon Jennings scored 23 points, dished out six assists and pulled down six rebounds in that one, leading the Bucks to the 91-82 win.

 

Wade continues to recover from a right ankle injury after dealing with foot pain earlier in the season. The Heat have more than held their own without him, compiling a 6-1 mark sans Wade in the lineup this season. His status remains uncertain for tonight.

 

The Heat, who are 6-2 at home this season, will make a quick stop in Detroit on Wednesday before returning to South Beach for three more games.

 

"That's just a learning experience for us," Irving said. "Play two great teams and just seeing things they do offensively and defensively, I think we all can learn something from it."

 

"I thought this week coming up was going to test us," Cavs coach Byron Scott said. "We'll see how these guys can handle it after the last two nights. Sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom to learn, but I don't think we're anywhere near rock bottom yet. Last year we lost 26 in a row, so hopefully we won't see that streak start again."

 

Scott said Thompson's ankle looked OK on Monday and he should be a game-time decision tonight.
