Raptors make a stop in New JerseyBasketball Betting Lines03/20/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Raptors are clinging to the eighth and final postseason spot in the Eastern Conference, and hope to stay there when they open a short trip Saturday against the New Jersey Nets at the IZOD Center. The Raptors will also visit Minnesota and are 10-23 away from Canada this season. They are currently 2 1/2 games ahead of Chicago, which has dropped 10 in a row to hamper its playoff chances. Toronto has lost six of seven and 10 of its last 12 games, including Friday's 115-89 setback versus the Oklahoma City Thunder at Air Canada Centre. Chris Bosh paced the Raptors with 22 points and 10 rebounds, while Andrea Bargnani ended with 15 points for Toronto, which shot 43.8 percent from the field. "They came in acting like the better team and they carried themselves that way," Bosh said of the Thunder. "They were trying to run us out of our own building." Bargnani entered the game averaging 17.0 points and 6.2 rebounds over his last five games. Bosh was averaging 19.0 points and 8.7 rebounds through six games before Friday's loss. New Jersey has the worst record in the NBA at 7-61 and is trying desperately to avoid finishing with the worst record in NBA history, set by the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers (9-73). The Nets have lost six in a row overall and 12 straight as the host. Tonight they'll open a four-game residency versus the Raptors, Heat, Kings and Pistons, and are 3-29 at the Meadowlands in 2009-10. In Wednesday's 108-97 road loss at Philadelphia, Chris Douglas-Roberts had 23 points off the bench and Kenyon Dooling chipped in 15 for New Jersey, which is winless in its last five road games and played without guard Devin Harris for the second straight contest due to an upper respiratory illness. "One thing about this team that has been consistent is they don't give up," Nets coach Kiki Vandeweghe said. "They keep coming back, they keep fighting. I thought that we just dug ourselves too big of a hole." Harris and forward Yi Jianlian (ankle sprain) are both probable for this evening's game. Toronto is aiming for a four-game sweep of the Nets tonight and is unbeaten in the previous four meetings. The Raptors have won three in a row at New Jersey.
