Durant carries U.S. into semis; Lithuania crushes ArgentinaBasketball Betting Lines09/09/2010 - Istanbul, Turkey (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Durant poured in 33 points on 11- of-19 shooting, helping the United Stated grind out an 89-79 victory over Russia in the quarterfinals of the 2010 FIBA World Championship. Russell Westbrook was a spark off the bench with 12 points, seven in a third quarter that saw the Americans extend a five-point halftime lead to 14 going into the fourth. Chauncey Billups scored 15 thanks to a 4-of-8 showing behind the arc for the U.S., which next plays Saturday against Lithuania, a thorough 104-85 winner over Argentina on Thursday. Russia, which had a healthy height advantage, was led by Sergey Bykov's 17- point effort. Andrey Vorontsevich logged 14 points and 12 rebounds, and Timofey Mozgov, signed by the Knicks in July, scored 13 in defeat. The game marked the 38th anniversary of the Soviet Union's controversial win over the Americans in the gold-medal showdown at the 1972 Munich Olympics. A back-and-forth first stanza ended 25-25, and the Americans found themselves trailing 35-30 midway through the second before finally solving Russia's zone during a 14-4 run to end the half. The heavy favorites pulled away in the third, as Westbrook capped an 8-3 run with a steal and fastbreak dunk for a 58-47 cushion with 4 1/2 minutes left. Bykov converted a three-point play out of a Russia timeout, but Westbrook again went to work, hitting a three and finishing off another turnover with a slam for a 13-point edge. Tyson Chandler's late bucket made it a 70-56 game with one quarter to play, and the closest the Russians got down the stretch was 84-72 with under four minutes to go. A Durant jumper and three-point play on consecutive possessions put the margin out of reach. While the opener was closely contested, Lithuania was never seriously threatened in its quarterfinal, jumping out to a 50-30 halftime lead and never looking back to advance to the semis in convincing fashion. Seven Lithuanians finished in double-figures, including the Toronto Raptors' Linas Kleiza, who dropped in 17 points to go with nine rebounds in the blowout. Simas Jasaitis and Martynas Pocius netted 19 and 16 points, respectively, while Mantas Kalnietis, Paulius Jankunas and Jonas Maciulis each had 12 for Lithuania, which shot 12-of-24 from long distance to stay undefeated in the event. The Milwaukee Bucks' Carlos Delfino paced Argentina with 25 points, while Houston Rockets forward Luis Scola had 13 points and a woeful 5-of-16 shooting effort in the debilitating loss. Turkey and Serbia, which knocked out defending champion Spain, will square off in the other semifinal on Saturday.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
