Until this past weekend, Chris Bosh’s health had not been a concern for the Toronto Raptors. The Portland Trail Blazers, meanwhile, had to suspect newly acquired Marcus Camby would eventually miss some time. Bosh is expected to be a game-time decision as the Raptors try to continue their success at home Wednesday night in a matchup with a Blazers team that may be without the oft-injured Camby. After appearing in the first 53 games this season, Bosh has missed two straight with a sore ankle, but Toronto has won both of those contests. The All-Star forward, averaging 24.5 points and 11.4 rebounds, may be close to returning.

Without Bosh, it would appear the Raptors are missing an intimidating post presence. Andrea Bargnani, though, had four blocks in Toronto’s 109-104 win over Washington on Saturday. The 7-footer, who moved from center to forward due to Bosh’s absence, is averaging 2.5 blocks - one more than his season average - over his last six games. Jack had 23 points and eight assists as Toronto won for the 15th time in its last 17 at Air Canada Centre.

Adding a number of new faces has seemed to help Washington Wizards play some of their best basketball of the season. One of those recent additions, however, will have to watch the rest of the season from the bench. In their first game without Josh Howard, the Wizards will try for their fourth win in five triesWednesday night against the visiting Memphis Grizzlies. Washington was one of the more active teams before the NBA’s trading deadline, dealing Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler among others. The higher-profile players the Wizards acquired in those trades were Howard, Al Thornton and Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who has yet to play for the team and is seeking a buyout.

Those new additions seemed to revive the struggling club as it’s topped 100 points in four straight games, including a 101-95 home victory over Chicago on Monday. Andray Blatche had 25 points and 11 rebounds, but Howard had to be helped off the floor after colliding with the Bulls’ Flip Murray in the first quarter. The next day, the team announced that Howard had torn his left anterior cruciate ligament and will miss the remainder of the season. The forward started three of his four games with Washington and averaged 14.5 points.

Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Woodson felt his team got the boost it needed with a win over one of the NBA’s hottest clubs in the finale of western road trip. The Hawks will try to add to that momentum by beating one of the league’s worst teams in their return to Philips Arena. In the opener of a three-game homestand, Atlanta will go for its eighth straight win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have lost six of seven overall. After blowing a 17-point fourth-quarter lead in a loss at Golden State on Sunday night, the Hawks had to play the next night in Utah, a place they hadn’t won in 17 years. Instead of wilting in the finale of its four-game trip, however, Atlanta beat Utah 105-100 behind Joe Johnson’s 28 points, handing the Jazz only their third loss in 20 games.

After finishing 2-2 on the trip, Atlanta has a good chance to remain among the Eastern Conference’s top four teams as it plays five of its next six at Philips Arena, where it’s 9-2 since Jan. 6. The Hawks lead fifth-place Toronto by four games. A visit from the struggling Timberwolves also bodes well, considering the Hawks have won six straight home games in the series. Minnesota, though, snapped a six-game slide Tuesday night with a 91-88 victory over Miami.

With Marcus Thornton and Darren Collison developing rapidly, the New Orleans Hornets have two more players who can give the Milwaukee Bucks problems. After getting an outstanding game from their rookie guards, the Hornets look for their ninth straight win over the Bucks onWednesday night . New Orleans is coming off its first loss in three games, 105-95 at Cleveland on Tuesday. Thornton and Collison, though, continue to give the Hornets reason for optimism, especially as superstar Chris Paul remains sidelined for at least another two weeks due to a knee injury.

Thornton and Collison combined for 59 points, including a franchise-record 23 from Thornton in the second quarter. Peja Stojakovic previously held the team mark, posting 22 points in the first quarter against Charlotte on Nov. 14, 2007. Thornton, a second-round pick from LSU, is averaging 16.3 points and shooting 41.5 percent from 3-point range over his last 15 games. Collison, starting at point guard in place of Paul, is averaging 22.9 points over his last eight contests. He had 22 and 10 assists versus the Cavaliers. Selected 21st overall in last year’s draft from UCLA, Collison had a strong performance in the Hornets’ 102-99 overtime win over Milwaukee on Nov. 25 with 18 points, eight assists and seven rebounds.

Although Joakim Noah has expressed a strong desire to play more minutes, the Chicago Bulls are being cautious with him as he continues to deal with plantar fasciitis. A lack of production and minutes from Noah hasn’t hurt the Bulls against their next opponent. In the first of two meetings this week, the Bulls host the Indiana Pacers, who may be without their leading scorer, onWednesday night . Chicago was taking advantage of a favorable stretch in its schedule before suffering a 101-95 loss at Washington on Monday. The Bulls won their previous four games, all against teams with losing records.

Chicago led the Wizards by 10 at the half, but went more than 6 minutes in the third quarter without a point while being outscored 31-16. Derrick Rose scored nine points during a late run, but the Bulls were unable to get any closer than one in the final minute. Noah played 12 minutes and scored six points as the Bulls monitor his minutes because of foot pain. He missed eight games before playing seven minutes against Philadelphia on Saturday.

The San Antonio Spurs may feel unfamiliar in their own arena as they prepare for their first home game in more than three weeks. Bouncing back from a loss could seem even more foreign to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The struggling Spurs hope to get point guard Tony Parker back as they return from their rodeo road trip Wednesday night against the Thunder, who will try to regroup quickly after their nine-game winning streak was snapped. Oklahoma City surged past the Spurs in the standings during its impressive run, but the Thunder blew a 10-point lead in the final 3:30 of a 104-102 home loss to Phoenix on Tuesday.

It has still been an impressive renaissance for a franchise that went 43-121 over the previous two seasons. Durant’s emergence has been the biggest reason for the turnaround, and the former Texas star took over the NBA scoring lead after pouring in 36 against the Suns. It was his 29th straight game with at least 25 points - the longest such streak since Michael Jordan did it in 40 straight in 1986-87 - and Durant moved slightly ahead of Cleveland’s LeBron James with 29.9 points per game. Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook added 21 points and 10 assists against Phoenix, his fifth time in the last seven games with at least 20 points and 10 assists.

Beating the team with the best record in the NBA should have served as a reminder that the Orlando Magic are the reigning Eastern Conference champions. Now, the Southeast Division leaders will try to avoid a letdown. The Magic look to sweep the season series from the struggling Houston Rockets for the first time in eight years Wednesday night. Orlando is second in the Eastern Conference, five games back of the league-leading Cavaliers, whom the Magic defeated in six games in last year’s conference finals. A playoff rematch is very possible, and Orlando got the better of visiting Cleveland on Sunday, beating them 101-95.

Dwight Howard will try to help the Magic build on Sunday’s win when they visit Houston, loser of four of five and on the outside of the top eight in the West standings. Howard had 22 points, 16 rebounds and four blocks Sunday, giving him averages of 28.0 points, 16.3 boards and 5.3 blocks the last three games. The All-Star center leads the NBA with 13.5 rebounds per game and 2.8 blocks. Howard pulled down 20 boards while adding 13 points and four blocks in a 102-87 home win over the Rockets on Dec. 23 after Orlando dropped 12 of the previous 14 meetings since sweeping the season series in 2001-02.

Without Steve Nash, the Phoenix Suns pulled out a narrow road win over one of the NBA’s hottest teams. With the two-time league MVP expected to return, the Suns have to like their chances of continuing their home dominance of the Philadelphia 76ers. After missing a game for the first time this season to rest his sore lower back and abdomen, Nash will likely be back in the lineup Wednesday night to help the Suns attempt to beat the Sixers at home for the 20th time in 23 meetings. Nash is having a typically strong season with 17.6 points and 11.2 assists per game, but the 36-year-old point guard struggled coming out of the All-Star break. Though he has averaged 12.8 assists in four second-half games, he has been held to 7.5 points per game and 31.6 percent shooting while playing through pain.

Rather than risk losing him for an extended period, the Suns opted to rest Nash on Tuesday. Without him, they snapped Oklahoma City’s nine-game winning streak with a 104-102 victory. Phoenix fell behind by 10 with 5:03 left, but Jason Richardson capped the comeback with a floater with 0.7 left as the Suns won for the ninth time in 11 games and moved past the Thunder for fifth place in the Western Conference. Gentry gave much of the credit to Richardson, who finished with 20 points and a season-high 13 rebounds.

Deron Williams and Andrei Kirilenko are big reasons why Utah is among the best teams in the Western Conference. The Jazz have a chance to get both players back Wednesday night as they look to rebound from a loss. Williams and Kirilenko could return from injuries as the Jazz host the struggling Charlotte Bobcats. The Jazz are third in the West, one game behind Denver for second place in the conference and the top spot in the Northwest Division. Williams has helped power that success, as he is third in the NBA with 9.9 assists per game and second on the team with 18.3 points.

Kirilenko has also played a key role, converting a career-high 51.5 percent of his shots and averaging 12.3 points and 4.6 rebounds. Injuries, though, have become a problem for both players. Williams is nursing a bruised right quad, while Kirilenko is hampered by back pain. Both players exited a 93-89 overtime win at Portland on Sunday, although Williams returned to finish with 18 points and 12 assists. Both players are uncertain for Wednesday, and Utah didn’t fare well without them in a 105-100 loss to Atlanta on Monday - just their third defeat in 20 games. Jazz forward Carlos Boozer is looking to bounce back from a 12-point, 10-rebound performance against the Hawks. He averaged 26.0 points and 19.5 boards in the previous two games.

Though they’re certainly glad to have Kobe Bryant back, the Los Angeles Lakers fared well without him. They didn’t even need a big game from their star to win their last matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. Bryant, outstanding in his first game back from injury, looks to help the Lakers continue their success against the Mavericks as two of the Western Conference’s top teams meet Wednesday night in Texas. After missing five games with an ankle injury, Bryant hit a 3-pointer with 4.3 seconds left to lift Los Angeles to a 99-98 win over Memphis on Tuesday night.

Bryant, who also tied the game on a 3-pointer with 54 seconds remaining, finished with 32 points including the Lakers’ final nine. The stellar performance followed his longest absence in five years. Bryant hadn’t played since Feb. 5, but the Lakers managed to go 4-1 without him. The 12-time All-Star was held to 10 points against the Mavericks on Jan. 13, but the Lakers got 22 points and 11 rebounds from Andrew Bynum in a 100-95 road victory. The only time Bryant scored fewer points this season was when he had five in a 99-97 win over Charlotte on Feb. 3. Bryant is averaging 15.0 points - 13 below his season average - and shooting 40.5 percent in three games against the Mavericks this season.

It’s been more than a month since either the Detroit Pistons or the Los Angeles Clippers recorded three straight victories, but one of those clubs will end its drought Wednesday night. The Pistons look to win their seventh straight road game against the Clippers, who snapped a 13-game losing streak in the series earlier this season. The Pistons haven’t won three straight since Jan. 12-16, but they put themselves in position to match that streak by cruising to a 101-89 win in Sacramento on Tuesday night, the opener of a four-game western trip.

Richard Hamilton scored 30 points and Tayshaun Prince added 22, helping Detroit take a 30-point lead in the third quarter and hold on for the win. To do so, the Pistons will have to beat a Clippers team that’s searching for its first three-game win streak since a run of four consecutive victories from Dec. 31-Jan. 10. Los Angeles picked up its latest victory Monday night, beating Charlotte 98-94 behind 20 points from Rasual Butler, who has averaged 17.3 points and shot 47.7 percent from 3-point range over his last six games. Chris Kaman had 18 points and 13 rebounds against the Bobcats, and Drew Gooden and Travis Outlaw added 10 points apiece in their debuts with the Clippers.
