Basketball Betting Lines

11/01/2008 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andris Biedrins and Stephen Jackson each scored a team-high 23 points, as the Golden State Warriors held off New Jersey for a 105-97 win in the Nets' home opener.

Biedrins also had 11 rebounds, while Jackson added eight assists for the Warriors, who got their first win of the season after losing the previous two by a combined nine points.

Corey Maggette contributed 20 points and 10 boards in the win for the Warriors, while Al Harrington had 14 points.

Josh Boone's 17 points and 14 rebounds led the Nets, who won their season- opener against the Wizards on Wednesday. Vince Carter posted 20 points in the loss for the Nets.

The teams traded baskets in the first quarter, but a Ryan Anderson layup put the Nets ahead, 25-24, after the stanza. The pattern continued until halftime, as an Anderson jumper brought New Jersey within 52-51.

Golden State, though, managed to pull away on the strength of an 11-2 run. Brook Lopez's hook shot pulled the Nets within 68-63 with 5:54 left, but Jackson followed with a three-pointer that triggered the Warriors' surge.

Jackson propelled the run almost by himself as, after a single Harrington free throw, he had a basket, three-pointer and dunk to put Golden State ahead 79-63 with 1:55 remaining in the third.

The Warriors held the lead for the rest of the quarter, as a Maggette free throw made it 85-69 going into the fourth, and for the majority of the stanza their advantage was in double digits.

But after Jackson's two free throws with 4:16 left gave Golden State a 99-85 lead, the Nets ripped off a 10-1 run.

Boone had three buckets in the surge, including one that brought the Nets within 100-95 with 43.2 seconds remaining. But a foul sent Maggette to the line for a pair, and he made both.

Devin Harris then lost a critical possession for New Jersey, which was forced to foul, and Golden State made enough free throws down the stretch to hold on for the win.

Game Notes

The Nets fell to 17-16 in home openers all-time...The clubs split two meetings last season, with each team winning at home...Golden State hadn't won in New Jersey since February 28, 1997...Anderson finished with 12 points for the Nets, while Harris had 13.

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. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.

MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
