Nets host Suns at Izod Center

Basketball Betting Lines

11/04/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New Jersey Nets resume a three-game homestand Tuesday when they welcome the talented Phoenix Suns to the Izod Center.

Golden State's Andris Biedrins and Stephen Jackson each scored a team-high 23 points, as the Warriors spoiled the Nets' home opener on Saturday, 105-97.

Josh Boone's 17 points and 14 rebounds led the Nets, who won their season- opener against the Wizards in Washington last week.

Vince Carter posted 20 points in the loss while Devin Harris had 13 and rookie Ryan Anderson finished with 12 points.

Phoenix, which recorded an NBA-best 24-6 record against the Eastern Conference last season, is embarking on a four-game Eastern road swing.

Amare Stoudemire and Shaquille O'Neal had their way on the blocks Saturday, finishing with a combined 39 points and 21 rebounds in the Suns' 107-96 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.

It was the 10th straight time Phoenix had gotten the best of the Blazers.

Stoudemire logged 23 points and 13 boards for Terry Porter, while O'Neal showed signs of rejuvenation with 16 and eight.

Defensive specialist Matt Barnes registered 21 points, and Steve Nash contributed 20 points and seven assists for the Suns, who have won two of three to open the season.

On the injury front, Carter, who is averaging 27.9 points per game against the Suns in his career, is probable for the Nets with a bad left hand.

The Suns' Alando Tucker is out for the next two to four weeks with tightness in his left hamstring.

Phoenix has won four straight games versus the Nets over the past two seasons.
