NBA

Pistons-Raptors

USA Today

Having clinched home-court advantage
throughout the playoffs on a night off, the Detroit Pistons look to notch the winningest season in franchise history as they visit the
Toronto Raptors.
While the Pistons were idle Thursday, they wrapped up
at least a tie for the best record in the league when the San Antonio Spurs
lost 92-80 to the Orlando Magic. That defeat guaranteed Detroit
the home-court edge in every round of the postseason because it swept the
season series with San Antonio.One more victory for
the Pistons would give them a single-season team record, surpassing the 63 wins
they had in 1988-99 en route to winning the first of two straight NBA titles. The
Raptors are mired in a 10-game losing streak, which started when All-Star
forward Chris Bosh suffered a season-ending thumb injury on March 26.

Bobcats-Hawks

Charlotte Observer

The Bobcats canceled practice Thursday, trying to save
what is left of their bodies for the final four games. They’ve already lost Emeka Okafor, Sean May and
Bernard Robinson, and Brevin Knight was a last-minute scratch
against Memphis because of a groin
strain.

Knight’s status tonight will be a game-time decision,
based on how well he can loosen up before the game.

Philadelphia-Miami

USA Today

The Philadelphia 76ers look to continue their push for an
Eastern Conference playoff spot when they try to knock off a division winner
for the second straight game in a matchup with the Miami Heat.The
76ers are tied with the Chicago Bulls for eighth place in the conference, and
trail Indiana and Milwaukee, tied for sixth, by one game. Philadelphia
is also only two behind fifth-place Washington.
The Sixers kept the pressure on the teams in front of them Wednesday night,
routing the Atlantic Division-champion New Jersey Nets 116-96 on the road.
Allen Iverson had 40 points and 10 assists to lead Philadelphia,
which remained tied with Chicago
for the eighth spot.

NBA

Cavaliers-Knicks

Sports Illustrated/CNN

LeBron James will likely sit out Thursday night’s game
against the New York Knicks after the Cavaliers’ All-Star forward sprained his
left ankle during a blowout loss at Detroit.The
Cavaliers listed James as doubtful – a 25 percent chance of playing – for their
second-to-last home game of the regular season. The club, which has clinched
its first playoff spot since 1998 and already locked down the No. 4 spot in the
Eastern Conference playoffs, did not have a morning shootaround
scheduled. With nothing meaningful left to play for, the Cavaliers will be
extremely cautious with James, who has made a late MVP push. In the 10 games
prior to his injury, the 21-year-old averaged 37.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 7.4
assists and the Cavaliers went 9-1. Including their matchup with the Knicks,
the Cavs have four games left in the regular season. If there is a plus to
James’ injury, it’s that Cavaliers coach Mike Brown finally has a reason to
rest his young superstar. James is averaging 42.7 minutes per game, second in
the league to Philadelphia’s Allen Iverson (43.1).

Magic-Spurs

San Antonio Express News

Orlando has
won 10 of its past 11 games, including six in a row, after beating Toronto
103-96 Wednesday. During the stretch, the Magic have beaten Dallas,
Detroit and Miami.  Orlando
trails Chicago and Philadelphia
by three games for the Eastern Conference’s eighth and final playoff spot. Manu
Ginobili (left calf and shin contusions) is questionable. (Express News
projects him inactive).

Mavericks-Suns

WFAA.com

How important is Josh Howard? The Mavericks are 7-1
against the four teams in the conference finals last season (San
Antonio
, Phoenix,
Detroit and Miami)
with him and 0-3 without him. Phoenix
will be the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference playoffs, but the Suns are 9-9
since March 9. The defensive improvement they displayed earlier this season has
eroded since the injury to center Kurt Thomas.

hometown newspapers and the team’s own press releases. Get advanced news and
notes ready for opening lines at blog on our home
page. 

Bulls-Hawks

Atlanta Journal Constitution

After scoring 82 and 88 points in their last two losses
and mustering a combined 20 assists, it’s no secret what the Hawks are
searching for. They need to learn how to share again — share the ball, as well
as the responsibility and burden on defense.

Raptors-Magic

Daytona Beach News-Journal

A victory tonight over the Toronto Raptors would give the
Magic their 11th win in a row at home. If the Magic don’t end up
meeting the Detroit Pistons in the first round of the playoffs, it would only
be natural for them to look back in regret at games they should have won but didn’t.
Topping that list of blown opportunities could be a 92-90 loss to the Raptors
to begin a six-game homestand in December. Barely two
weeks later, the Magic went to Toronto
and were hammered 121-97, with the Raptors shooting 63 percent for the game and
getting 24 points from rookie Charlie Villanueva. “That’s incentive enough
right there,” Hill said of the Magic’s record against a team that was never in
playoff contention this season. The Raptors went into Tuesday night at Miami
riding an eight-game losing streak. They were 0-7 since Chris Bosh, their
leading scorer (22.5) and rebounder (9.2), was lost for the season with a sprained left thumb. The
Magic have gone with the same starting lineup since March 11, while the Raptors
have used 25 different combinations this season.

Sixers-Nets

Delaware News Journal

The Nets, meanwhile, have won 15 of 16 games and locked up
the Atlantic Division title more than a week ago. The 76ers saved their season
with wins Monday against Washington
and last Saturday against Chicago.Incredibly enough,
they are a game out of sixth place in the conference, where Milwaukee
and Indiana are tied. Both teams,
however, hold the tiebreaker advantage over the Sixers, as do the Bulls. It’s
not known whether Chris Webber will return tonight after he missed the previous
two games with a lower back strain. Steven Hunter has started in his place
alongside Dalembert, giving the 76ers two aggressive,
athletic shot blockers. The two combined for 28 points, 22 rebounds and five
blocks against Washington on
Monday.

Cavaliers-Pistons

LaBron James has become nearly
unstoppable the past 10 games, scoring more than 30 points in each one,
including a streak of nine straight with at least 35 points. Finally that has
meant victories for the Cavs, who have won nine of those 10 games and are
securely in the No. 4 Eastern Conference playoff position. The Cavs are
adjusting without Ilgauskas, who has missed the past three games, and
re-integrating guard Larry Hughes, back the past four games after missing three
months with a finger injury. Ronald (Flip) Murray
has been LeBron James’ steadying sidekick, especially the past two weeks when
he has scored at least 16 points in every game, including 25 on Monday against
the Hornets. The Cavs have won 11 of their past 12 games.
