Bucks tangle with Nets in Brew City

Basketball Betting Lines

04/07/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fresh off clinching their first postseason berth in four years the Milwaukee Bucks get back to work on Wednesday by hosting the NBA's worst team, the New Jersey Nets.

John Salmons scored 26 points against his former team last night as the Bucks clinched a playoff spot with a 79-74 victory over the Bulls, hurting Chicago's own chances for getting into the postseason.

Ersan Ilyasova added 17 points and seven rebounds for Milwaukee, which secured its first playoff berth since 2006 and will head to the postseason without standout center Andrew Bogut.

Kurt Thomas had 14 rebounds for the Bucks, who posted their second straight victory and moved into a tie with Miami for fifth place in the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee holds the tiebreaker, however, by virtue of winning the season series with the Heat.

Bogut, meanwhile, underwent successful surgery Monday on his broken right hand to repair damage from his fall during the second quarter of Saturday's 107-98 win over Phoenix. He is expected to be out up to six weeks, meaning he'll likely miss the rest of the season, including playoffs.

"It's (the win) big for a lot of reasons," Salmons said. "We clinched a playoff spot, got that out of the way. We have to learn how to play without Bogut."

The Bucks are a gaudy 19-6 since acquiring Salmons from Chicago.

The Nets, meanwhile, dropped their seventh straight road game on Sunday when Andray Blatche led six Wizards players in double figures with 20 points, as Washington defeated the Nets, 109-99, at the Verizon Center.

Devin Harris and Brook Lopez contributed 22 points apiece to pace the Nets.

"We fought back...but ran out of juice," said Nets coach Kiki Vandeweghe.

New Jersey, which is a miserable 4-34 on the road this season, has dropped four straight overall to Milwaukee and the Bucks will be attempting to sweep the season series with a win tonight.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

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."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com

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."
