Bucks visit Heat in key Eastern Conference matchup
Basketball Betting Lines
02/27/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two teams jockeying for Eastern Conference playoff
positioning meet in South Beach Saturday as the Miami Heat host the Milwaukee Bucks.
After losing to lowly Minnesota on Tuesday the Heat hold down the eighth and
final playoff spot in the East, one-half game behind Milwaukee and just one-
half game ahead of Charlotte.
Jonny Flynn scored 16 points and made the eventual game-winning layup with 38
seconds left on Tuesday, as the Timberwolves picked up a rare road victory by
taking a 91-88 decision over Miami.
Dorell Wright made six three-pointers on his way to a career-best 26 points
while pulling down seven boards for the Heat, who have dropped two in a row
following a five-game win streak.
Jermaine O'Neal scored 18 points to surpass 12,000 points for his career,
while Michael Beasley ended with 14 points and nine rebounds in defeat.
"Those boys just wanted it more than we did. We are not that team at all,"
Beasley said. "We just got off lackadaisical. Collectively, as a team, there
was no energy. No passion. We just didn't play. We didn't come today."
Miami was without star guard Dwyane Wade (left calf strain) for a third
straight game on Tuesday and fellow guard Rafer Alston (bruised right hand).
Wade is expected to remain on the sidelines this afternoon, while Alston
should be back.
The Bucks, meanwhile, are red-hot, winning their season-best fifth straight
game in Indianapolis on Thursday. John Salmons had 20 points and provided a
spark yet again for Milwaukee in that one.
Brandon Jennings added 18 points -- nine in the fourth quarter -- and seven
assists for Milwaukee, which is 5-0 since acquiring Salmons from Chicago.
Andrew Bogut chipped in with 15 points and 10 boards, while Ersan Ilyasova had
17 points in the Bucks' fifth straight road win.
Luke Ridnour had 12 points and eight assists in the win for Milwaukee, which
has won all three games against the Pacers this season. This is the first
five-game win streak for the Bucks since November 14-24, 2007.
Milwaukee hasn't won six consecutive games since Dec. 16-27, 2006.
"We have to learn to finish games better," Bogut said. "Also, we let them
shoot way too many free throws. They shot 44 to our 25. We definitely have to
do a better job with that. It doesn't matter if you win by two or by 40 -- a
win is a win."
Milwaukee has taken both games against the Heat this season, including a 97-81
win in Miami on Feb. 1.

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
