Bulls, Thunder clash at Ford CenterBasketball Betting Lines01/27/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bulls have finally found their groove away from home and hope to continue moving in the right direction in Oklahoma City on Wednesday night. After starting 0-2 on a season-long seven-game road trip and falling to 4-15 as the visitor on the year, the Bulls turned things around by topping Phoenix in the desert last week. A win in Houston followed and Vinny Del Negro's club made it three straight as the visitor by topping San Antonio, 98-93, on Monday. Joakim Noah scored the final five points in that one to propel Chicago. Noah, who missed Saturday's contest with the Rockets due to a foot injury, ended with 11 points and five rebounds for the Bulls, who improved to 3-2 on their trip. Derrick Rose chipped in 27 points and six assists. Kirk Hinrich tallied 18 points, six boards, and five assists, while Luol Deng donated 10 points and nine rebounds for Chicago, which shot 53.8 percent from the field. "I just think we've been playing a lot tougher on the road," Hinrich said. "Last year we were really bad on the road and this year didn't start off very good. I think winning on the road just comes down to competing, mental and physical toughness throughout the whole game." With a win tonight, the Bulls will reach the .500 mark for the first time since being 6-6 on Nov. 22. Meanwhile, the team hasn't won four in a row away from the United Center since a six-game winning streak from March 26-April 17, 2006. The much-improved Thunder are coming off an agonizing loss in Cleveland on Saturday. LeBron James scored 13 of his game-high 37 points in the last quarter and came up with a game-saving block on Kevin Durant, as the Cavaliers held off Oklahoma City, 100-99, in that one. Durant ended with 34 points and 10 boards for the Thunder, who have lost back- to-back contests following a three-game winning streak. Their last four games have been decided by a total of eight points. Russell Westbrook had 23 points in defeat. "All of our losses these last couple of weeks, I guess, have been under two or three points and that's tough," Durant said. Durant, who is averaging nearly 33 points per game over his past nine contests, had 25 when the Thunder topped the Bulls, 98-85, in Chicago earlier this month.

American Idol odds : Blake Lewis the Early Standout An important American Idol betting lines recap from February 20 Guys episode. The 12 men came out flat overall with Blake Lewis appearing to have the early edge after the first hour and a half. Rudy - was quite good singing "Free Ride" to start off. Randy was not impressed though. Paula thought he started off fantastic. "Never had anyone stop off so lively" said Paula but Simon (who does not like Rudy) does not feel he has a distinct voice and was not impressed either. Brandon was a little pitchy according to Randy and Paula agreed. Simon said he was a good singer but the song was "too safe" and he needs to make an impact. He was listed at +1200 odds or $1200 paid out on a $100 bet should he win the competition. Big favorite Sundance came in with a flat version of "Knights in White Satin" and the judges let him have it, including Paula. Randy claimed the song was out of pitch throughout. Korean American - and a Jenny Woo favorite - Paul Kim was up next. Another pitchy flat one but Randy said he still liked his potential. Kim at +3000 odds was said to have sung a "third rate version of that (George Michael) song" according to Simon Cowell. He sang "Careless Whisper". 22 year old Chris Richardson was up next. He was listed with +1100 odds coming in. He got the best response from the judges though Simon did not believe the vocal was that great. Nick was boring and pitchy. Simon didn't think he was that bad though and predicted he would be back next week. Nick Pedro was a big +3000 dog coming into this competition. Beat boxer Blake Lewis was listed with early +1000 odds or $1000 payout on a $100 bet if he were to become the next American Idol winner odds . These of course were the early odds. He was considered original for picking an "odd song". He did not beat box and the judges felt it was the best vocal of the night. Sanjaya came in as the second biggest favorite after Chris Sligh but his performance Tuesday night was not very good. Chris Sleigh was the early favorite at +450 odds. Great voice and a great sense of humor. He's a real standout. Randy felt it was on point but maybe ahead of the chorus a little bit. Simon Cowell said he felt like he was in some "sort of weird student gig". Jared Cotter followed. He was listed with +2000 odds early on to win the competition. The judges felt he needs to take more risks but looked good. Phil - this season's military favorite - came into this competition with +1200 odds to win the competition. He was the last to perform. He was certainly strong enough to get through this stage of the competition and perhaps the best one after a shaky start. Tomorrow night, the ladies perform and I sure hope they do a better job than the boys. Check out all the American Idol betting odds here.
