Raptors-Heat

Globe and Mail

Heading
into the final two weeks of the National Basketball Association’s regular
season, the Raptors are mired in an eight-game losing string. This latest
Toronto swoon should not come as any great
surprise, as the Raptors have been without franchise star Chris Bosh for the
past seven games. The all-star power forward, who is
Toronto’s leader in both points (22.5 a
game, on average) and rebounds (9.2), sprained his left thumb on March 26 and
was lost for the season. Bosh’s absence has meant
increased playing time for rookies Charlie Villanueva and Joey Graham.
Toronto’s inability to win tight games has
hindered its progress all year. The Raptors have lost 11 games by three and
fewer points, the most in the NBA this season.
Toronto’s record in overtime is dismal,
1-9.

Spurs-Sonics

MySA.Com

Ginobili and Spurs coach Gregg Popovich
both expect him to play Tuesday against Seattle.
Ginobili missed Sunday’s game after bruising his left calf and shin in Friday’s
loss to Dallas. Spurs’ forward
Robert Horry returned to the lineup for Sunday’s game after missing Friday’s
game against the Dallas Mavericks following the death of his father-in-law, but
said he will miss Tuesday’s game.

Warriors-Lakers

Noticias.info

The Warriors are still looking for their first win over
the Lakers this season, after dropping each of their previous three match-ups
versus Los Angeles. In their only
other meeting at Staples Center,
the two teams fought it out in an overtime thriller that the Lakers eventually
won 106-105. The Warriors played without Jason Richardson in that contest, and
they may have to do so again, as the team’s leading scorer is listed as
questionable with a sore right knee.
