Blazers aid postseason hopes with win over Mavs
Basketball Betting Lines
03/26/2010 -
Portland, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - LaMarcus Aldridge finished with 20 points, 10
rebounds and five assists, as the Portland Trail Blazers continued their
playoff push with a 101-89 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.
Andre Miller had 19 points and 10 assists for the Blazers, while Marcus Camby
added 17 points and 11 boards. Brandon Roy contributed 16 points and seven
assists for Portland, which rebounded from Sunday's loss at Phoenix to win for
the sixth time in its last seven games.
The victory kept the Blazers, who entered Thursday's contest in the eighth
position in the Western Conference, in the thick of the playoff hunt.
Additionally, it pulled them into a virtual tie with San Antonio for the
seventh spot in the West, and within a game of Oklahoma City for sixth.
Caron Butler had 25 points and nine rebounds to pace the Southwest Division-
leading Mavericks, who are still four games ahead of the second-place Spurs.
Shawn Marion and Dirk Nowitzki each added 15 points in the loss.
It was a tight game to begin the fourth quarter, and Marion's layup a little
more than two minutes in had the Mavericks within 82-80. But Portland got some
critical separation by following with an 11-2 run.
Rudy Fernandez connected on a three before Miller hit a jumper to end the
rally, giving the Blazers a 93-82 advantage with six minutes to play. It was
essentially a game-clinching run for Portland, as Dallas, which shot just 4-
of-17 in the fourth quarter, struggled to make shots down the stretch.
Portland held a number of leads throughout the game, but could never gain
complete control, as Dallas found a way to get back in the contest.
After Camby poured in five straight points to put the Blazers ahead 25-16 with
four minutes left in the first quarter, the Mavericks scored the next seven
and were down 32-27 entering the second.
Then, with 1:34 left in the half, Roy sank a jumper that ended an eight-point
Portland burst for a 55-46 advantage. However, Butler scored the game's next
five points, and Dallas was down 60-54 at the break.
After the Mavs opened the third with baskets from Marion, Nowitzki and Butler
to even the contest, Portland once again stretched out its lead. A 12-0 run,
capped by two Camby buckets, had the Blazers ahead 72-60.
But once again, Dallas got back into the contest, countering with a seven-
point run, and the visitors trailed by five, 80-75, moving to the fourth.

Stanley Cup betting
New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
