*** CLEVELAND @ INDIANA (-4, O/U 201) ***
-------------------------------------------------------
The Indiana Pacers are returning home from possibly their most impressive victory of the season. The Cleveland Cavaliers would likely take any win they can get right now. Losers of four of their last five, the Cavaliers will try to break out of their slump by continuing their recent success at Conseco Fieldhouse on Tuesday night. The Pacers have alternated wins and losses in their last seven games but were happy to continue that pattern Monday night.

After falling at home to Orlando on Saturday, Indiana bounced back with a 93-77 victory over Miami on Monday night, limiting Heat All-Star guard Dwyane Wade to a career-worst 1 for 13 from the field. “(The Miami Heat) have been anticipating doing a lot of things before the season even started so to get the win on the road, this is a big win for us,” forward Danny Granger said. “It was a really good team effort on the defensive end.” Granger and Brandon Rush had 20 points apiece to lead the Pacers. “It is definitely a momentum builder for us,” said Rush, whose previous season high was 16.

The Cavaliers are coming off a pair of road losses to the NBA’s elite. One night after falling 108-101 to New Orleans, Cleveland suffered a 116-92 rout Saturday at San Antonio. “We wanted to use these two games as a measuring stick,” forward Antawn Jamison said. “We showed signs, but it’s just not consistent 48 minutes.” While poor defense has done in Cleveland in the last two games, an inability to score doomed the Cavs in a 99-85 home loss to the Pacers on Nov. 13. Granger scored a season-high 34 points for Indiana in that game, while Jamison had a team-best 19 for the Cavaliers, who shot just 38.6 percent.

Granger, averaging 21.2 points this season, also scored 36 points in last season’s final meeting with Cleveland, a 116-113 road victory April 9. The Cavaliers are focused on limiting him this time. “We’re going to throw numbers at him. It’s going to be a group of guys,” Cleveland swingman Joey Graham said. “There are a lot of guys we’re going to throw at him.” While Cleveland has lost consecutive matchups in the overall series, it has won six of seven in Indianapolis. In their last visit, the Cavaliers limited the Pacers to 33.7 percent shooting and Granger to 13 points in a 94-73 blowout Jan. 29.

*** ATLANTA (-2.5, O/U 191.5) @ NEW JERSEY ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
Turmoil appears to be growing for the Atlanta Hawks, and first-year coach Larry Drew is embarrassed and disturbed. Coming off their most lopsided defeat of the season, the Hawks try to avoid their seventh loss in nine games when they visit the struggling New Jersey Nets on Tuesday night. Atlanta opened the season with a six-game winning streak and appeared destined to remain among the elite in the Eastern Conference after going 53-29 in 2009-10. Any positive momentum at the start of 2010-11 now appears to be over.

The Hawks trailed by 26 following the first quarter and lost 99-76 to Boston on Monday, falling for the sixth time in eight games. “This was very embarrassing,” said Drew, who spoke with his team behind closed doors for more than 20 minutes after losing to the Celtics. “Very, embarrassing.” If I had one word to sum it up: embarrassing. “We’re not coming out ready to play. I’m not seeing any urgency. I’m not seeing any passion. We’re not playing like we want it. We’re not playing hard enough. It’s very, very disturbing.”

Atlanta has a chance to regain momentum before a Dec. 4 visit to Southeast Division rival Miami. Its next six games come against teams with losing records, beginning with the Nets. Regardless of the opponent, Drew is concerned with his club’s preparation. “I don’t know what we’re doing the night before the game,” Drew said. “But something is going on that is not allowing us to play with energy or passion.” Josh Smith averaging 15.3 points and 8.9 rebounds, scoffed at the notion that the Hawks are spending too much time burning both ends of the candle. “Everyone is getting their rest,” he said. “I don’t think that’s an issue. We’ve just got to get back to sharing the basketball and playing together.”

A meeting with New Jersey could help. The Hawks have defeated the Nets four straight times by an average of 23.5 points, including a 108-84 victory March 16 in the most recent matchup at New Jersey, despite playing without an injured Joe Johnson. Johnson is averaging 24.3 points on 53.2 percent shooting over his last seven meetings with the Nets. The four-time All-Star hasn’t come close to being those numbers over his last three games overall, averaging 9.3 points and shooting 27.8 percent from the floor. He had been averaging 19.9 points in his previous 11 games.

New Jersey has lost nine of 11 and four straight at home, although its last three home losses were decided by two points or fewer. The Nets fell by a slim margin on the road Saturday, losing 107-103 at Denver. New Jersey center and leading scorer Brook Lopez had 20 points against the Nuggets after scoring only seven in an 86-81 loss at Sacramento the previous night. Lopez had a team-high 21 points in the March 16 loss to Atlanta.

*** PHILADELPHIA @ WASHINGTON (-2.5, 196.5) ***
----------------------------------------------------------------
In the first meeting between this year’s top two draft picks, the Washington Wizards’ John Wall outshined the Philadelphia 76ers’ Evan Turner. After missing time because of an ailing left foot, Wall may get the chance to do that again. The Wizards point guard could return from his injury in time for Tuesday night’s game against the 76ers, who could get swingman Andre Iguodala back in the lineup. Wall, taken with the first overall pick, set career bests with 29 points, 13 assists and nine steals in a 116-115 overtime victory over Philadelphia on Nov. 2. Turner finished with nine points and six rebounds.

Wall has sat out the past four games, with the Wizards alternating wins and losses over that span. They fell 115-110 in overtime on the road to Detroit on Sunday. Gilbert Arenas had 19 points and a career-high 16 assists, while JaVale McGee registered 20 points and a career-best 16 rebounds. “We played a great game, so this one hurts,” Arenas said. “The blowouts don’t hurt - it is the ones you should have won. We should have won this.” The Wizards, though, might get some help as they try to win their fifth in a row over Philadelphia.

Coach Flip Saunders said Wall practiced Monday with only a little soreness, and he will be a game-time decision. “John went through the whole practice and did some live scrimmaging. He did some good things,” Saunders said. “We’re going to wait and see (Tuesday).” The 76ers enter this game feeling a little better after snapping a five-game slide with a 90-79 win over Milwaukee on Friday night. Thaddeus Young paced Philadelphia with a season-high 23 points off the bench.

“Coach (Doug) Collins always tells me to be prepared and that’s what I try to do,” said Young, who played a season-high 38 minutes. “If it’s going to be 15 minutes or 40 minutes, I know I have to be mentally and physically prepared.” Like the Wizards, Collins’ team might get a boost if Iguodala can return. The seven-year veteran has missed the last three games and played twice in the past seven because of tendonitis in his right Achilles’ tendon.

While Iguodala is probable, guard Lou Williams, who scored a season-high 30 points earlier this month at Washington, is day to day with an injured left shoulder. Along with potentially getting Wall back in the lineup, Washington will have Arenas on the court after he missed the first meeting with the 76ers due to a strained tendon in his right ankle. In his previous home game against Philadelphia, Arenas scored 31 points in a 105-98 victory Dec. 22. Washington has won 10 of 13 at the Verizon Center over the 76ers.

*** CHARLOTTE @ NEW YORK (-3, O/U 205) ***
----------------------------------------------------------
After a tough loss to begin their four-game road trip, the New York Knicks couldn’t have closed it out much better. They’re just hoping that momentum will mean something at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks have dropped three straight at MSG, but after a successful visit to California they can pick up their fourth consecutive win in Tuesday night’s opener of a home-and-home set with the Charlotte Bobcats. New York dropped its sixth straight overall last Tuesday in Denver, where it fell behind by as many as 16 points early in the fourth quarter.

The Knicks rallied, however, and though they still lost 120-118, their late surge carried over. Danilo Gallinari and Amare Stoudemire scored 27 apiece in a 113-106 win at Sacramento on Wednesday, Raymond Felton led the way with 35 points and 11 assists in a 125-119 victory over Golden State on Friday, then Gallinari and Stoudemire were at it again Saturday. The duo combined for 70 points - 45 after halftime - in a 124-115 win against the struggling Los Angeles Clippers.

“It was like a video game,” Stoudemire said after scoring a season-high 39. “… The positive from this is that we’re on a three-game winning streak and our chemistry’s now starting to come together. We showed how good we can be and what it takes to win and we’re showing winning qualities. We’ve just got to keep it going.” It was the first time the Knicks won three games in California on the same trip, and coach Mike D’Antoni’s team improved to 5-4 on the road.

New York is just 1-4 at MSG, though, largely due to its inaccuracy from beyond the arc. The Knicks are hitting an NBA-worst 26.0 percent of their 3-pointers at home, while they’ve knocked down 38.9 percent on the road. They’re 5-0 when they hit 40 percent or more from 3, and 1-8 otherwise. Stoudemire’s production has been consistent regardless of venue, but that hasn’t been true for his teammates. Felton, who will be facing the Bobcats for the first time after spending his first five seasons with Charlotte, is averaging 19.3 points and shooting 50.4 percent on the road as opposed to 14.2 points and 41.3 percent at home.

Gallinari’s differences have been even worse. He’s averaged 25.4 points and hit 43.2 percent of his 3-pointers in his last five road games. In the Knicks’ five home games, he’s averaged 12.8 points and shot 25.0 percent from beyond the arc. Perhaps Charlotte will be better served by playing at New York’s up-tempo pace on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Bobcats’ 73.2 field-goal attempts per game are the league’s fewest, but they seemed invigorated running the floor with Phoenix on Saturday. It helped that the Suns didn’t have Steve Nash.

Charlotte took a season-high 87 shots and hit a season-best 57.5 percent, getting the first triple-double in franchise history from Stephen Jackson (24 points, 10 boards, 10 assists) to lead the way to a 123-105 win. “We knew that we could attack the rack and be aggressive, and we knew if we played defense we could beat these guys,” said Jackson, who’s averaged 26.0 points and hit 51.4 percent from 3-point range in his last four games. Jackson’s two trips to MSG with Charlotte haven’t been as memorable. He shot 36.6 percent as the Knicks won each meeting by four points behind 26.5 points per game from Wilson Chandler.

*** DETROIT @ DALLAS (-10, O/U 191.5) ***
-----------------------------------------------------
The Dallas Mavericks have been one of the league’s best defensive teams, but their offense continues to struggle. They may not be able to afford such a discrepancy against a Detroit Pistons team that is playing well offensively. The Mavericks look to win their fifth straight over Detroit on Tuesday night. Dallas has held seven straight opponents to fewer than 100 points, its longest stretch since the 2007-08 season.

The Mavericks are among the top five in the NBA in scoring defense, holding opponents to 92.3 points per game. “We’re trying to be the best zone team in basketball,” Coach Rick Carlisle said after a 98-93 victory at Atlanta on Saturday. “It’s challenging. We have to play to our length and experience and our knowledge of the game.” The Mavericks avoided a third straight loss Saturday, one night after being outrebounded 59-34 in an 88-83 home defeat to Chicago.

Dallas bounced back to outrebound Atlanta 40-37, including 10 offensive boards. Dirk Nowitzki finished with 21 points and seven rebounds. He’s averaging 27.8 points and 8.5 boards in the last four games but isn’t getting much help. Dallas, which is averaging 96.2 points - nearly six fewer than last season - has scored more than 100 only three times and has been held below that mark the last five games.

Detroit is having more offensive success, but its defense has been struggling. The Pistons have averaged 103.0 points over their last five games but are giving up that same amount. They beat Washington 115-110 in overtime Sunday to improve to 5-3 following a 0-5 start. Defense was an area Detroit was hoping to improve upon after giving up 99.1 points per game last season - it’s most since 1999-2000 when it allowed 102.0. However, it’s being outrebounded by almost five per game - one of the highest differentials in the league.

While the Pistons try to improve defensively, they’ll continue to rely on their offense. On Sunday, Charlie Villanueva had 25 points and 11 rebounds while Richard Hamilton matched his season high with 27 points - 12 in overtime. “He’s always there. Rip’s been struggling a little bit but we know what type of player he is,” Villanueva said. “We know what he brings to the table. Today he showed what he is capable of doing.”

Hamilton had averaged 9.2 points while shooting 36.0 percent in his previous five games, but he finished 11 of 21 from the field. The 32-year-old was limited to 46 games last season because of injuries. “I think that’s the first time all season that I was allowed to play my game and that’s just moving without the ball and things like that,” he said. The Mavericks have won six of the last seven meetings with the Pistons, taking three straight in Dallas.

*** CHICAGO @ LA LAKERS (-9, O/U 203) ***
------------------------------------------------------
The high-scoring Los Angeles Lakers have been overwhelming opponents during their current winning streak. They may need to continue that dominant play to keep their run intact against the surging Chicago Bulls. The Lakers seek a fifth consecutive victory Tuesday night when they host the Bulls, who have been outstanding defensively in winning five of six. Los Angeles’ four straight wins have come by an average of 17.3 points, the most recent a 117-89 victory over Golden State on Sunday.

Pau Gasol went 10 for 10 from the field and 8 for 8 from the free-throw line for 28 points, while adding nine rebounds and five assists. He joined Charles Barkley and teammate Matt Barnes as the only players to have at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists without missing at least five shots from the field and free-throw line. Barnes accomplished the feat Friday in a 112-95 victory over Minnesota with 24 points, seven rebounds and six assists while hitting all seven shots - five 3-pointers - and five free throws.

“Matt told me, ‘Welcome to the club,’” Gasol said. “I said, ‘Happy to be in there.’ It’s kind of weird that it happened that way. It’s weird, but it’s obviously a good sign.” The blowout of the Warriors allowed coach Phil Jackson to rest his starters in preparation for Chicago. Kobe Bryant who scored 20 points, played just over 26 minutes and no one exceeded Gasol’s 30:01 for the Lakers.

Los Angeles led 95-60 after three quarters. “It’s very important,” Jackson told the team’s official website. “(The starters) have that reserve (energy) to go to Tuesday night if they need it.” The Lakers lead the NBA with 112.5 points per game, but they may have a difficult time reaching that number against a Bulls team that has held seven of its 11 opponents to fewer than 100.

Chicago has been particularly good during the past six games, allowing 92.7 points a contest. The Bulls, three games into their annual six-game circus road trip, are coming off an 88-83 comeback victory over Dallas on Saturday. Joakim Noah scored 10 points and grabbed 17 rebounds for the Bulls, who held a 59-34 advantage on the boards. “I can’t go through the motions,” Noah said. “I’ve got to keep going after the ball. We fought hard even when we were behind. We’re not a team that gives up.”

Chicago trailed by as many as 12 in the third quarter. Taj Gibson who shot 0-for-7 and went scoreless in Thursday’s 103-94 loss to San Antonio, had 17 points and a career-high 18 rebounds. “Coach knows I’ve been working on my jumper, but he said don’t rely on jump shots,” Gibson said. “Attack the glass and hit the boards. I’ve struggled the last two games so he challenged me.” The Bulls have lost four straight in Los Angeles and six in a row in the series. The Lakers have averaged 107.7 points in those six contests.
