LeBron leads Cavs into OaklandBasketball Betting Lines01/11/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Cavaliers resume a five-game road trip in Oakland Monday against a Golden State Warriors team in the midst of their longest homestand of the year. The Cavs dropped the opener of their trek in Denver but bounced back nicely with a 106-94 win in Portland last night. LeBron James came just shy of a triple-double and scored 31 points in the first half in that one, as Cleveland used a late run to beat the Blazers, 106-94. James finished with 41 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists for the Cavs, who surged thanks to an 11-0 spurt in the final quarter and have now won nine of 11 overall. Mo Williams added 16 points, Anderson Varejao 12 and Shaquille O'Neal added 11 points with 11 rebounds. "In order to get road wins you have to come out aggressive and that was just my whole mindset to come into the game," James said. "We continue to execute offensively, guys continue to rotate, we made shots and then on the defensive end we got stops. That's what it's about. You have to get stops to win close games, especially on the road and especially in the fourth quarter." Cleveland, which is 15-7 as the visitor, will finish its trip with visits to Utah and the LA Clippers. The Warriors, meanwhile, opened a seven-game homestand in winning fashion Friday when Monta Ellis poured in 39 points and dished out six assists, as Golden State rallied to beat the Sacramento Kings, 108-101. Corey Maggette added 24 points and eight rebounds for the Warriors, who won their second straight and improved to 7-7 on their home floor. Stephen Curry chipped in 12 points for Golden State, which outscored Sacramento, 32-15, in the fourth quarter. "It was a fun game to win," Warriors head coach Don Nelson said. "Some games you just don't know how you do it but somehow we came back. Like I said we need support from our fans and boy did they give it to us when it wasn't looking good for the Warriors through three quarters. The force was with us and it was one of Monta Ellis' best performances. It just wasn't his scoring but he willed and helped our team win. He just kept focused and kept trucking like the Energizer bunny," Golden State, which hasn't won three in a row all year, will also play host to Miami, Milwaukee, Chicago, Denver and New Jersey on its current residency. The Warriors have dropped three straight to the Cavs, including a 114-108 setback in Cleveland on Nov. 17.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet. Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots. Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4. To visit this online sportsbook got to MySportsbook.com for all your NFL football betting needs. |
