Basketball Betting Lines

03/02/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The NBA's most improved team, the Oklahoma City Thunder hope to finish up a three-game homestand in perfect fashion tonight when they welcome the Sacramento Kings to Ford Center.

The Thunder improved to 2-0 on their residency Sunday when the electrifying Kevin Durant scored 29 points to lead Oklahoma City to a 119-99 rout over the Toronto Raptors.

Russell Westbrook dished out 10 assists to go with 14 points, while Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic chipped in 20 and 16 points, respectively, for the Thunder, who have won 11 of 13 overall. Serge Ibaka ended with 13 points and 10 rebounds for the victors.

"[Ibaka] has been playing very well. He's starting to get it on both ends of the floor," Durant, who is second leading scorer in the NBA at 29.7 ppg, said.

The Kings, who are kicking off a a three-game road trip tonight, earned their second straight win on Sunday when rookie star Tyreke Evans posted a game-high 22 points to lead Sacramento in a 97-92 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers at Arco Arena.

Carl Landry went for 18 points and eight rebounds, while Spencer Hawes added 16 and nine for Sacramento, which has won the two straight on the heels of a five-game slide.

"My attitude has always been to play hard and try to go out there and get a win," Evans said. "Ever since I was young I've been hitting big shots, so to me it's fun to go in there and try to make the big play."

Sacramento, which hasn't won three straight since a four-game run from Nov. 25-Dec. 2, will also visit Houston and Dallas on its current trek.

The Kings snapped a three-game skid to the Thunder with a 101-98 win in Sacramento back on Nov. 10.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
