Spurs shoot for season sweep of Hornets

Basketball Betting Lines

03/05/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Antonio Spurs will try to sweep the season series from the New Orleans Hornets when the two Southwest Division rivals go at it tonight from the AT&T Center.

San Antonio has won the first three matchups between the teams and hasn't swept the season series from the Hornets since the 2006-07 campaign. The Spurs have won four straight and 14 of 18 games against the Hornets, who have dropped four in a row and 10 of their last 11 trips to the Alamo City.

The Spurs, who sit seventh in the West, have won their last two games and are coming off Monday's win at New Orleans Arena thanks to 23 points and five rebounds from George Hill. Tim Duncan added 22 points and nine rebounds, while Tony Parker chipped in 18 points and six assists. Manu Ginobili tallied 13 points and eight assists off the bench for San Antonio, which shot 50.6 percent from the field.

"He's been good for us on both ends of the court," Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said of Hill. "In his sophomore year here, he's done a good job at both ends. We're not surprised when he makes shots or does what he did tonight."

The Spurs are 21-10 as the host this season.

New Orleans will try to put the brakes on a four-game road losing streak Friday. It has dropped three in a row overall and suffered a 104-100 setback at home versus the Memphis Grizzlies despite Marcus Thornton's 24 points off the bench. Rookie Darren Collison added 17 points and 14 assists, while Peja Stojakovic provided 18 points and nine boards in defeat.

David West finished with 15 points for the Hornets, who sit five games off the eighth and final postseason spot in the Western Conference.

"As a team, I don't think we have a good rhythm. We're not playing fluid basketball. We need to come in and have a good practice and go down to San Antonio and get competitive with them," West said.

The Hornets are 11-20 as the visitor in 2009-10.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
