Basketball Betting Lines

12/13/2006 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Phoenix Suns are operating at full force, and they look like a team that is going to be very hard to beat when its time for the playoffs.

Phoenix is 14-6 and is just one-half game behind the division-leading Los Angeles Lakers in the Pacific.

The Suns attempt to extend their winning streak to 12 games when they visit the defending world champion Miami Heat on Wednesday at AmericanAirlines Arena. It is the first of two meetings this season between the Suns and Miami. Phoenix is scheduled to host the Heat on January 5, 2007 at US Airways Center. The Suns are 12-6 at Miami. Phoenix has won two in a row in the series.

Amare Stoudemire scored 30 points and grabbed eight rebounds to lead the Suns to their 11th straight win, a 103-89 rout of the Orlando Magic on Monday at TD Waterhouse Centre.Stoudemire scored 10 points in the third quarter to lead Phoenix to victory for the 13th time in its last 14 games after a 1-5 start.

All-Star forward Shawn Marion scored 19 and grabbed 11 boards in the win over the Magic for Phoenix. Reigning MVP Steve Nash scored 18 and dished out 15 assists, while Boris Diaw netted 13 in the victory.

Phoenix won a franchise-record 14 in a row from December 1, 1992 to December 30, 1992.

The Suns, who have won six in a row as the visitor, are 6-4 on the road this season. They return home to host the Golden State Warriors on Friday at US Airways Center. Phoenix defeated the Warriors, 113-110, on November 20th at ORACLE Arena.

Stoudemire, who played just three games last season because of a serious knee injury, is averaging 16.9 points and 8.2 rebounds this season. He has scored in double-digits in nine straight games and has collected 10 double-doubles.

Phoenix has scored over 100 points in eight straight games.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
