Blake Griffin, L.A. Clippers - Out Wed

Griffen will miss Wednesday's game against the Trailblazers after being suspended for picking up his 16th technical foul of the season.


Anthony out; Knicks days over?

Carmelo Anthony has played his last game for the New York Knicks this season -- and possibly in his career.

The team announced before Tuesday night's game that an MRI revealed a small labrum tear in Anthony's right shoulder. With the Knicks out of playoff contention, he will be shut down for the final two games.

The injury will be re-evaluated in about a month, the team said, but no surgery is required.

The Knicks played at the Brooklyn Nets onTuesday night and finish the regular season on Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors in Madison Square Garden.

Anthony, an 11-year veteran, said he will test free agency in July.


Nets fall to Knicks, fail to wrap up No. 5 seed

If there is one thing that New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson doesn't like, it is watching the postseason from his couch, something he will have to do in the coming weeks.

His team, however, is finishing the season like one bound for the playoffs. The Knicks downed the postseason-bound Brooklyn Nets 109-98 Tuesday night.

The Knicks (36-45) defeated the Nets in three of four meetings this season, and they earned their six win in their past eight games overall.

"I just like the way we competed," Woodson said. "We've been doing that for the last couple of months. Hopefully this will be something these guys can rest their heads on and take it through the summer because it's going to be irritating sitting at home watching playoff basketball."

The Nets (44-37) had an opportunity to clinch the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, but the idle Washington Wizards (43-38) remain in the hunt for that spot due to Brooklyn's loss.

Game of the Day: Clippers at Trail Blazers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings between the Clippers and Blazers.

Los Angeles Clippers at Portland Trail Blazers (+6, 209)

The Los Angeles Clippers have set a franchise record with 57 victories and still have a chance at landing the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers in Wednesday’s regular-season finale. Los Angeles recorded a 117-105 win over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday and can claim the second seed by defeating Portland combined with an Oklahoma City loss to Detroit. Portland has won four straight games and is locked in as the West’s No. 5 seed.

All-Star forward LaMarcus Aldridge is expected to be held out but the other four starters will be on the floor at the start of the game for the Trail Blazers. Guards Damian Lillard and Wesley Matthews, forward Nicolas Batum and center Robin Lopez have started every game and coach Terry Stotts wants them to start against the Clippers. “Playing 82, starting 82, it’s a badge of honor for the guys who can do it,” Stotts told reporters, “and I think those four guys are really proud of the fact that they’ve been available for and played for 82 games.” Clippers forward Blake Griffin received his 16th technical in the game against the Nuggets and will miss the contest due to an automatic one-game suspension unless the NBA rescinds it Wednesday.

LINE HISTORY: The early odds in Las Vegas have the Clippers suggested as 6-point favorites with a total of 209 points.

POWER RANKINGS: Clippers (-13.9) - Trail Blazers (-10.0) + Home Court (-3.0) = Clippers -0.9

INJURY REPORT: Los Angeles: G J.J. Redick (Out - Rest), F Danny Granger - out indefinitely (calf), F Blake Griffin (Out - Suspension). Portland: N/A.

WHY BET THE CLIPPERS (56-24, 45-34-1 ATS): Guard J.J. Redick scored 18 points in the victory over Denver but will be held out of the lineup in the second game of a back-to-back. Redick is averaging 12.4 points in five games since returning from a back injury that kept him sidelined for two months. “I don’t want him playing in a back-to-back,” Los Angeles coach Doc Rivers told reporters. “I don’t think that’s wise.” Redick was 4-of-6 from 3-point range against Denver in his best outing since becoming healthy. Forward Blake Griffin did not travel with the team, serving a suspension after receiving his 16th technical foul of the season versus the Nuggets.

WHY BET THE BLAZERS (53-28, 43-38 ATS): Portland doesn’t plan to overtax any of its key players in the finale and Stotts admitted Monday that preparations for the playoff series against the Houston Rockets have already begun. “We didn’t talk much about the Clippers,” Stotts told reporters. “It’s more focused on Houston. The fact that we can spread out our preparation time, rather than trying to cram everything in, makes it easier not only for the players but the coaches and the video staff and everybody else.” Post player Joel Freeland, out since Feb. 11 with a knee injury, will return to action and receive a decent amount of playing time.

TRENDS:

* Over is 10-2-2 in the last 14 meetings in Portland.
* Underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings.
* Clippers are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games.
* Blazers are 0-7 ATS in their last seven games playing on two days rest.
