Los Angeles Gets Points Down Nuggets

Basketball Betting Lines

The Clippers, playing their second straight game without Chris Paul, were paced by Caron Butler's 14 points. Courtney Fortson added 13 while Randy Foye chipped in 11. Blake Griffin scored 10 on 5-of-12 shooting and added 11 rebounds. LA has lost 16 straight in Salt Lake City.

 

Entering Tuesday, the Clippers had won three straight, including Monday's win over the Nets -- their first since Paul was sidelined with a strained left hamstring.

 

The advantage was 52-41 at the half and ballooned to as many as 20 in the third, leading to a fourth devoid of drama and rife with reserves. Still, the Jazz did not relent, emphasizing the win with a scintillating bench effort.

 

In all, Utah's reserves outscored the Clippers' bench 54-32.

 

The Clippers have dropped 42 of their last 43 games in Salt Lake City...Paul was injured in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 102-94 victory over the Lakers. He had an MRI on Sunday, which came back negative...Los Angeles was also without guard Mo Williams (sore right foot), while the Jazz were without forwards Josh Howard (strained left quadriceps) and Derrick Favors (sprained left ankle).

 

Vince Carter's three-point try at the buzzer for Dallas clanked off the back of the rim, and he limped off the court after grabbing his left foot.

 

Dallas was even worse. Nowitzki was 8-of-17 for 21 points, but the Mavs shot 35 percent and made only four of their 26 three-point attempts to have a five- game winning streak snapped. Jason Terry made a game-tying shot in the last 10 seconds for the Mavs.
