Rockets close out homestand vs. WarriorsBasketball Betting Lines02/02/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The reeling Houston Rockets conclude a disastrous six-game homestand on Tuesday by facing one of the Western Conference's worst teams, the Golden State Warriors. The Rockets, who fell to 1-4 on their residency with a heartbreaking 115-111 overtime loss to Phoenix on Sunday, should have an excellent chance to stop their slide. Houston has topped the Warriors eight straight times, including a pair of wins in Oakland this season. Amare Stoudemire poured in a season-high 36 points on Sunday and the Suns hit 7-of-8 at the foul line in overtime, as Phoenix gutted out a tough road win over Houston. Aaron Brooks had 24 points and six assists for the Rockets. Trevor Ariza contributed 21 points and hit a game-tying three near the end of regulation to force extra time. Luis Scola and Carl Landry went for 17 and 16 points, respectively, in the loss. With the Suns leading 100-97 in the waning seconds of regulation, Robin Lopez blocked Landry's layup attempt to force a jump ball, won by Houston, and the ball found its way to Ariza in the right corner for a three-pointer that tied the game at 100 with 11.3 seconds on the clock. The Suns had one last chance for a game-winning shot, but Steve Nash's off- balance shot never came anywhere near the cylinder. In the extra frame, Jared Dudley was fouled late and sank two clutch free throws with 5.3 ticks on the clock for a 113-110 Phoenix lead. The Suns smartly fouled Brooks before he could get a three-pointer off on the ensuing possession; he made the first and intentionally fired the second straight into the rim. It came right back to Brooks in the lane, but the referees called a lane violation for leaving too early, and Nash iced the game with two from the stripe at the other end. "I surprised myself, the ref, everybody, so maybe something had to be wrong. It was a hard play, a hard call...that's how it goes," Brooks said of his thwarted follow-up attempt on the missed free throw. The Warriors, meanwhile, dropped their fifth straight game in Oklahoma City on Sunday when Kevin Durant made 16-of-21 shots from the field on his way to a season-high 45 points while pulling down 11 rebounds, as the Thunder held off Golden State, 112-104. Corey Maggette ended with 26 points and five boards for the Warriors, who have dropped nine of 11 overall. Monta Ellis chipped in 25 points. Stephen Curry tallied 14 points and five assists while CJ Watson added 13 points off the bench for Golden State, which fell to 4-20 away from Oakland this season. "We need to work on closing games once we have control in the second half," Curry said.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDSNFL 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. To visit this sportsbook go to MySportsbook.com for all your NFL football betting needs. |
