02/28/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Raptors conclude a three-game road trip tonight when they travel to Houston and the Toyota Center to battle the Rockets.
The Atlantic Division-leading Raptors fell to 1-1 on the trek Monday when they were downed by the San Antonio Spurs, 107-91. Rasho Nesterovic had 16 points and nine rebounds for the Raptors, who had a two-game winning streak broken.
Rookie Andrea Bargnani tallied 17 points and Chris Bosh 14 for Toronto, which lost the services of guard Anthony Parker in the second quarter due to a right ankle injury.
Parker was hurt when he landed on the foot of San Antonio's Bruce Bowen with 4:55 remaining until halftime. Parker had to be helped to the locker room with the Spurs ahead 49-30 at the time. He is questionable for tonight's game.
Forward Jorge Garbajosa, who played against the Spurs and had eight points, also finds himself questionable for tonight's game because of a right knee injury.
Toronto leads the Atlantic standings by 3 1/2 games over New Jersey and will aim to improve its 11-18 mark on the road tonight. The Raptors return home on Friday to host Milwaukee.
Houston was without the services of star guard Tracy McGrady on Monday, and was defeated by lowly Boston, 77-72.
McGrady missed the game with flu-like symptoms and his absence was evident in a lackluster offensive effort. Bonzi Wells, starting in place of McGrady, scored 27 points and Juwan Howard had 12 points for Houston, which has lost three of five.
The Rockets are still without center and leading scorer Yao Ming, while McGrady is questionable tonight because of his illness.
Houston, which is currently fifth overall in the Western Conference, is 20-8 at the Toyota Center this year. The club will travel to Denver for a matchup on Friday.
The Rockets are 9-2 all-time against the Raptors. Both of those setbacks came last year as Toronto swept the two-game season series. The clubs are meeting for the first time this season tonight.

In part two of MySportsbook.com’s draft preview, we’ll take a look at a division that was extremely disappointing last season: the NFC South. Many “experts” predicted the Panthers to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, of course they could not even make the playoffs in an extremely weak NFC. The Saints definitely made up for the disappointing seasons of their NFC South brethren by exploding out of no where en route to the NFC Championship game. For the avid NFL gambler, it is imperative to pay attention to the NFL draft. Although free agency gets a ton of publicity, the successful franchises build their teams around the draft.
1. New Orleans Saints
Who would have thought this time last year that the Saints would be the favorites to win the NFC South for the 2007 campaign? New Orleans is loaded with firepower on the offensive side of the ball but with the exodus of Joe Horn they will most likely look to draft a WR on Day 1. Despite having the NFL’s 3rd ranked pass defense last season, the Saints will most likely upgrade their CB’s with one of their first two picks. Other possibilities for the Saints will be TE and DT. Because of where they will be selecting (27th), the Saints could go the “best available player” route which could net a LB.
Key additions: Eric Johnson TE, Troy Evans LB, David Patten WR
Key loses: Joe Horn WR,
Team needs: CB, WR, TE, LB, DT
Possible draftees: Aaron Ross CB Texas, Darrelle Revis CB Pitt, Ted Ginn Jr. WR OSU, Paul Posluszny LB PSU, Chris Houston CB Arkansas, Greg Olsen TE Miami
2. Carolina Panthers
Carolina was one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL last season. With the signing of David Carr, expect the very first quarterback controversy to come out of Carolina if Jake Delhomme doesn’t rebound quickly from an average 2007 season. With veteran safety Mike Minter getting up there in age, they will look to draft a safety on Day 1 but probably not in the first round. LB is another need with the loss of Chris Draft to go along with Dan Morgan’s concussion problems. If TE Greg Olsen is still on the board, he might be too good to pass up despite their needs on the defensive side of the ball.
Key additions: David Carr QB
Key loses: Chris Draft LB
Team needs: LB, TE, S, OT
Possible draftees: Greg Olsen TE Miami, Patrick Willis LB Ole Miss, Paul Posluszny LB PSU, Levi Brown OT PSU
3. Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons were another NFC South team to have a disappointing 2007 season. The Falcons have been plenty busy during the off season with plenty of players coming and going including a new head coach. The Falcons were able to improve their draft position with the trade of coveted backup QB Matt Schaub. High on the list of Day 1 needs will be a defensive end to replace Patrick Kerney and a hard hitting safety since Lawyer Milloy is nearing the end of his career. With an additional 2nd round pick, the Falcons could attempt to trade up to acquire local product WR Calvin Johnson.
Key additions: Joey Harrington QB, Toniu Fonoti OG, Joe Horn WR
Key loses: Justin Griffen RB, Patrick Kerney DE, Matt Lehr OG, Ashley Lelie WR, Matt Schaub QB
Team needs: DE, S, OT, WR, DT
Possible draftees: LaRon Landry S LSU, Amobi Okoye DT Louisville, Levi Brown OT PSU, Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas, Alan Branch DT Michigan
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Age really caught up to the Bucs last season. The Bucs still have plenty of household names on defense in Ronde Barber, Simeon Rice and Derrick Brooks but the one thing those three have in common is unfortunately age. It is imperative for the Bucs to get much younger, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Despite having bigger needs on the defensive side of the ball, WR Calvin Johnson is the most likely pick if he is still available when the Bucs pick at the four spot. This would suit Bucs’ faithful just fine as Johnson is widely considered the top talent in the draft and it is a position of need for the Bucs.
Key additions: Jeff Garcia QB, Kevin Carter DE, Torrie Cox CB, Cato June LB
Key loses: Dewayne White DE, Sean Mahan OG
Team needs: WR, LB, DE, CB (Youth on defense!)
Possible draftees: Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Tech, Gains Adams DE Clemson, Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas
