Cavs aiming for rebound in tilt with Suns

Basketball Betting Lines

02/11/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Cavaliers will try to bounce back from consecutive losses for the first time this season when they return home to host the Phoenix Suns at Quicken Loans Arena.

The Cavs got their first taste of defeat at home this season with a 101-91 setback to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, then dropped a 96-95 decision at Indiana Tuesday night despite LeBron James' 47 points on 15-of-21 shooting.

James is averaging 36.2 points in his last five games, including a season-high 52 points at New York last Wednesday.

Mo Williams, who was named to the Eastern Conference All-Star squad as a replacement for Toronto's Chris Bosh, had 15 points for the Cavaliers, who have dropped two straight since a four-game winning streak. Zydrunas Ilgauskas chipped in 10 points and 11 rebounds in the win.

Cleveland had started off the season with 23 straight wins at Quicken Loans Arena before falling to the Lakers.

Meanwhile, the struggling Suns will wrap up a three-game road trip Wednesday against the Cavs and fell to 1-1 on the trek after Monday's 108-91 loss at Philadelphia. Steve Nash, who had 21 assists in Sunday's win at Detroit, posted just two points and eight assists against the Sixers.

Amare Stoudemire recorded a team-high 19 points for the Suns, while Jason Richardson ended with 16 points in defeat. Shaquille O'Neal was held in check with just seven points and 10 boards for Phoenix, which has dropped seven of its last 12 overall games and is 14-12 away from home in 2008-09.

The Suns went 2-0 against Cleveland last season and have won four straight, six of seven and 15 of the last 18 meetings in the series. These two teams have split the 12 most recent encounters in Ohio.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.

Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.

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.

MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:

Saints +6 @ Colts -6

Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)

Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)

Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5

Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1

Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3
