Pistons and Knicks meet at MSG
Basketball Betting Lines
03/03/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Detroit Pistons are back on the road for two games and
will try to stop a four-game slide tonight against the New York Knicks at
historic Madison Square Garden.
Detroit lost the last three tests of a four-game road swing before returning
home to suffer a 105-100 setback to the Boston Celtics on Tuesday at The
Palace of Auburn Hills. Jonas Jerebko led Detroit with 16 points and 10
rebounds, while Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince both notched 15 points.
"We have to become better as the season winds down at not just finishing
plays, but finishing games," said Detroit head coach John Kuester.
Ben Wallace ended with six points and 12 rebounds, while Rodney Stuckey
contributed 13 points and six assists for the Pistons, who will also pay a
visit to Cleveland on the quick trek and are 7-22 as the visitor. Wallace left
the game with a knee injury and is questionable for Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the Knicks hope to put the brakes on a six-game home losing streak
when they entertain Detroit this evening at MSG. They are 12-20 in the Big
Apple this season and recently suffered an embarrassing 124-93 loss at
Cleveland on Monday from Quicken Loans Arena.
Bill Walker poured in a career-high 21 points off the bench for the Knicks,
who are just 2-13 in their last 15 games. Al Harrington chipped in 18 points,
while Danilo Gallinari ended with 17 in defeat.
"They (Cavs) out-classed us, out-matched us, out-played us and (we) kind of
gave up in the third quarter," Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni said. "I
thought the other guys came in the fourth quarter and did a good job, but
obviously they're (Cavs) a little bit better team than we are."
In injury news for New York, forward Wilson Chandler (personal) is
questionable for Wednesday. Chandler is averaging 16.7 points, 5.3 rebounds,
2.3 assists, 0.80 steals and 0.68 blocks in last 40 games.
New York has won two of the first three matchups this season with Detroit.
These two teams have split the past 10 matchups at Madison Square Garden.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title.
