Thunder close out trip in Portland

Basketball Betting Lines

02/09/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oklahoma City Thunder hope to finish off a three-game road trip in perfect fashion on Tuesday when they meet a Portland Trail Blazers club minus All-Star Brandon Roy at the Rose Garden.

The Thunder improved to 2-0 on their trek Saturday with a 104-95 win over the Golden State Warriors in Oakland. Kevin Durant had 29 points and eight rebounds in that one.

Russell Westbrook had an incredible all-around performance with 21 points, 10 assists, a career-best eight steals and seven rebounds. Jeff Green scored 18 for the Thunder, who have won five in a row. The franchise hasn't won six straight since a nine-game run from Nov. 5-19, 2004, when they toiled in Seattle.

"Everybody knows it's coming," Durant said of Westbrook's possible quadruple- double in the future. "It's nothing new to us. We all followed his lead tonight."

There have been only four quadruple-doubles in NBA history, with San Antonio's David Robinson securing the last one when he netted 34 points along with 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 blocks against Detroit on Feb. 17, 1994.

Durant, meanwhile, has now scored at least 25 points in 24 consecutive games, the longest such scoring run since Allen Iverson turned the trick 27 straight times in the 2000-01 season.

The Blazers, meanwhile, were trounced in their last outing, a 99-82 setback to the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers.

Ron Artest poured in 21 points and Lamar Odom contributed 10 points and tied a career-best with 22 rebounds in that one, as the Lakers overcame the absence of Kobe Bryant to win in Portland for the first time in nearly five years with a 99-82 triumph over the short-handed Trail Blazers.

LaMarcus Aldridge had 16 points for Portland, which lost for the fifth time in eight contests. Andre Miller added 14 points and Jerryd Bayless 13 in defeat.

"They're a good defense. You've got length with Odom and [Pau] Gasol and [Ron] Artest," Blazers coach Nate McMillan said. "We couldn't get to the paint and our shots didn't fall. If your shots aren't falling and you're not getting anything easy, no second opportunities, it's going to be a tough night."

Before the game, the Blazers announced Roy will be sidelined through the All- Star break due to a strained right hamstring. Roy saw limited action in a January 20 game at Philadelphia, but hasn't played since. An All-Star, Roy was replaced on the Western Conference team by LA Clippers center Chris Kaman on Monday.

Portland has won four straight over the Thunder, including a 83-74 win in Oklahoma City on Nov. 1.
