Basketball Betting Lines
02/27/2007 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The NBA-best Dallas Mavericks try to extend their winning
streak to 13 games when they face the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight at the
Target Center.
All-Star Dirk Nowitzki scored 27 points and grabbed eight rebounds to pace the
surging Mavericks to their 12th consecutive victory, a 110-87 rout of the
Atlanta Hawks on Monday at American Airlines Center.
Jason Terry scored 21 points and Josh Howard finished with 20, but left in the
fourth quarter after spraining his right ankle. Veteran Jerry Stackhouse
scored 19 points and dished out nine assists, as the Mavericks extended their
club-record home winning streak to 20 contests.
Howard is questionable for tonight's contest in Minnesota. He is averaging
19.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per game this season.
The Mavericks are an impressive 20-6 on the road this season. After tonight's
game, they will return home for a three-game stand. Dallas, which is an
incredible 27-3 at home in 2006-07, is scheduled to host Cleveland, Orlando
and New Jersey on the upcoming homestand.
Minnesota, meanwhile, plays the fourth of a five-game homestand. It is 1-2 so
far on the current stand.
All-Star Kevin Garnett scored 26 points and grabbed 17 rebounds as the
Timberwolves downed the Washington Wizards, 98-94, on Sunday at the Target
Center.
Ricky Davis finished with 27 points for the Timberwolves, who snapped a three-
game losing streak. Rookie Randy Foye scored 13 points and dished out eight
assists for Minnesota, which beat Washington at home for the seventh
consecutive time.
The Timberwolves are 17-11 at home this season. They will host the Utah Jazz
on Friday in the finale of the homestand.
This is the third of four meetings between Dallas and Minnesota this season.
Dallas won the two previous contests. The Mavericks are scheduled to host the
Timberwolves on April 11th at American Airlines Center.
Dallas, though, has lost three of its last five at Minnesota. The Mavericks
have won three in a row in the series.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.
As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.
Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.
Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1. In the basement are the Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, and St. Louis Blues who all have 100-1 odds to win.
