The Raptors dropped three of four meetings with Boston last season and has lost 15 of the previous 17 matchups between the Atlantic Division foes. Boston will put its six-game home winning streak in this series on the line tonight.
Marc Gasol had 19 points and 10 rebounds and Marreese Speights netted 16 points with 12 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who won their season-high third straight game. They shot 54 percent from the field against Chicago, which came into the contest limiting its opponents to 41.3 percent shooting -- tied for third in the NBA.
Memphis, however, has played poorly on the road this season. The Grizz, who will play six of their next seven away from Beale Street, are just 1-4 as the visitor on the year and barely averaging 80 points in those contests.
Emeka Okafor tallied 12 points and 10 rebounds for New Orleans, which is just 3-10 on the season and 1-6 in NOLA. Chris Kaman donated 12 points and six boards.
The Hornets remain without normal starters Eric Gordon (right knee) and Trevor Ariza (right groin), although the team hopes Ariza will be back in the lineup by the end of the week.
Memphis has won three straight overall vs. the Hornets.
"Our defense is probably ahead of what I thought. Our rebounding is where I thought it would be and our offense is behind," coach Frank Vogel said after his latest win.
Five Kings players scored in double figures in that one, including 12 points apiece for Marcus Thornton, Jason Thompson and Francisco Garcia, but the team lost its third in a row and fell to 1-5 in the last six contests.
The biggest culprit in the Kings' stagnant offense has been former Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans, who has scored just 12 points in the team's previous two games.
After tonight's contest Sacramento will be right back on the road for three more games.
"Obviously, 17 threes is not going to help you. Anderson made a couple that were tough looks, but they made them," Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni said.
New York is second in the Atlantic Division behind Philadelphia and will also welcome Milwaukee and Denver to the Big Apple. It is 3-3 at MSG this season.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
