02/27/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers hope to bounce back from a tough overtime loss when they resume a five-game road trip in the Twin Cities against a team they traditionally dominate, the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Blazers have already routed Minnesota three times this season and have taken 11 straight overall vs. the Wolves. A win tonight would give Portland a season sweep over Minnesota for a third consecutive season.
The Blazers lost for the first time on their trip last night in the Windy City when Luol Deng scored seven points in the extra frame, and Derrick Rose scored 33 overall, leading the Chicago Bulls to a 115-111 victory over Portland.
LaMarcus Aldridge scored 32 points and grabbed seven rebounds for the Blazers, who fell to 2-1 on their trek but still hold down the eighth and final playoff spot in the West, two games clear of New Orleans. Brandon Roy added 23 points and six assists, while Andre Miller had 14 points and seven assists in defeat.
"We controlled the game, they just had the better legs down the stretch," Miller said.
The Wolves, meanwhile, lost for the eighth time in nine games on Friday in Oklahoma City when Kevin Durant led seven Thunder players in double figures with 25 points, as Oklahoma City crushed Minnesota, 109-92.
Kevin Love posted 19 points and eight rebounds for the Timberwolves. Ryan Gomes added 10 and seven, and Al Jefferson netted 12 points in defeat.
"We had to come out and play focused right from the get-go. We had too many turnovers early and we got frustrated," Minnesota head coach Kurt Rambis said.
The Wolves haven't topped Portland since a 94-93 win at Target Center on March 25, 2007 and Minnesota has been obliterated in the three matchups against the Blazers this season. Portland won the first two games by 23 and then posted a 28-point triumph.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
