Sixers, Pacers clash in Indy

Basketball Betting Lines

03/09/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia 76ers finally got off the schneid with a big win at Toronto this weekend, and hope that carries over into Tuesday's road bout against the Indiana Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse.

Philadelphia was able to snap a five-game losing streak with Sunday afternoon's 114-101 triumph over the Raptors at Air Canada Centre thanks to Thaddeus Young, who scored a career-high 32 points on 13-of-18 shooting. Rookie Jrue Holliday netted 21 points and Andre Iguodala scored 16 in a winning effort.

"My jumper was really going good," Young said. "My teammates put me in positions to do well. As a team, we just wanted to come out aggressively and get the lead and maintain the lead throughout the game."

Elton Brand had 12 points and nine boards in the win, just the Sixers' third in their last 11 tries. Philadelphia ended a three-game road losing streak and improved to 13-20 as the guest this season.

The Sixers will return home for two games versus Charlotte and Cleveland after their visit to Indy.

Indiana just lost every test on a four-game road trip and is coming off Saturday's 113-105 setback Phoenix.

Danny Granger had 24 points and seven rebounds, while Roy Hibbert ended with 22 points, six rebounds and five blocks for Indiana, which has just two wins in its last 13 contests.

"I thought we competed all trip," Pacers head coach Jim O'Brien said. "We didn't come out on the positive side but I think it shows how tough minded our guys are. Four games in five nights on a tough road trip; we competed our hearts out, just didn't come away with what we needed to."

Troy Murphy tallied 19 points and 16 boards in a losing effort. The Pacers hope to improve on their 13-16 home ledger this evening.

The Sixers and Pacers have split a pair of matchups this season, with each team winning on enemy territory. Indiana has won six of the past nine meetings with Philadelphia. These two teams have split the last 12 meetings in Indy.

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.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
