Cavs aiming for rebound in tilt with SunsBasketball Betting Lines02/11/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Cavaliers will try to bounce back from consecutive losses for the first time this season when they return home to host the Phoenix Suns at Quicken Loans Arena. The Cavs got their first taste of defeat at home this season with a 101-91 setback to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, then dropped a 96-95 decision at Indiana Tuesday night despite LeBron James' 47 points on 15-of-21 shooting. James is averaging 36.2 points in his last five games, including a season-high 52 points at New York last Wednesday. Mo Williams, who was named to the Eastern Conference All-Star squad as a replacement for Toronto's Chris Bosh, had 15 points for the Cavaliers, who have dropped two straight since a four-game winning streak. Zydrunas Ilgauskas chipped in 10 points and 11 rebounds in the win. Cleveland had started off the season with 23 straight wins at Quicken Loans Arena before falling to the Lakers. Meanwhile, the struggling Suns will wrap up a three-game road trip Wednesday against the Cavs and fell to 1-1 on the trek after Monday's 108-91 loss at Philadelphia. Steve Nash, who had 21 assists in Sunday's win at Detroit, posted just two points and eight assists against the Sixers. Amare Stoudemire recorded a team-high 19 points for the Suns, while Jason Richardson ended with 16 points in defeat. Shaquille O'Neal was held in check with just seven points and 10 boards for Phoenix, which has dropped seven of its last 12 overall games and is 14-12 away from home in 2008-09. The Suns went 2-0 against Cleveland last season and have won four straight, six of seven and 15 of the last 18 meetings in the series. These two teams have split the 12 most recent encounters in Ohio.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee. "I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
