Raptors hope to continue dominance over Wolves

Basketball Betting Lines

03/22/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The playoff-hopeful Toronto Raptors will try to continue their mastery of the Minnesota Timberwolves Monday night in the Twin Cities.

Toronto has won 11 in a row against the Timberwolves, with its last loss in the series on January 21, 2004 north of the border. The Raptors, who currently occupy the eighth and final postseason spot in the East, are unbeaten in their past five trips to the Target Center.

The Raptors have won two of three since a five-game winning streak and recorded a 100-90 triumph at New Jersey on Saturday. Chris Bosh poured in 23 of his 36 points in the second half and Jarrett Jack had 15 points for Toronto, which leads Chicago by 2 1/2 games for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

"I was trying to stay aggressive the whole game," Bosh said. "A lot of guys on the bench encouraged me to do well and it really helped."

Toronto is 11-23 away from Canada this season.

Minnesota has lost 12 in a row and 18 of its last 19 games, including Friday's 104-96 decision against the Los Angeles Lakers in the finale of a four-game road trip.

Jonny Flynn scored 20 points and Kevin Love added 19 and 11 rebounds for Minnesota, which has dropped seven straight as the guest and hasn't won since February 23 at Miami. The Timberwolves had 19 turnovers, leading to 26 Los Angeles points.

"Points off turnovers have been our problem all season long," Minnesota coach Kurt Rambis said. "We have trouble handling pressure. It's like starting the game down 20 or 30 points. That said, our guys played really well. They did what I asked them to do. I was happy with their performance and effort."

Darko Milicic had 16 points and 12 rebounds, and is questionable for tonight because of back spasms.

The T'Wolves have lost eight straight at home and are 9-25 at the Target Center this season.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
