Paul leads Clippers past Nuggets
Basketball Betting Lines
02/23/2012 -
Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Paul had a season-high 36 points to
go along with nine assists as the Los Angeles Clippers pulled away in the
fourth quarter to down the Denver Nuggets, 103-95, at Staples Center.
Blake Griffin added 27 points, 12 rebounds and five assists for the Clippers,
who snapped a two-game losing streak as they head into the All-Star break.
"We wanted to get that bad taste out of our mouth from dropping the last two
[games]," said Griffin. "We did a good job defensively in the fourth quarter.
We wanted to go into the break on the right foot."
Arron Afflalo paced the Nuggets with 20 points, while Jordan Hamilton added a
career-high 18 points for Denver, which has dropped 11 of its last 15 games.
Los Angeles held a slight, 80-79, advantage entering the fourth quarter and
opened the frame with a 9-4 spurt to take an 89-83 advantage.
Denver answered with eight straight points to take a two-point lead with 6:47
left in the game, but the Nuggets would not make another shot from the floor.
The Clippers took full advantage of the Nuggets' offensive woes, closing the
game with a 14-4 swing to run away with the victory.
"They made shots at the right time and we missed shots. They rebounded and we
just couldn't put the ball in the basket," Nuggets guard Andre Miller said.
Los Angeles held a pair of five-point leads and Denver lead by as much as
three on two separate occasions in a back-and-forth first quarter that had
seven lead changes, four ties and ended with the score tied at 27.
Denver opened the second quarter with a 7-2 run to jump out to its largest
lead of the contest so far, 34-29.
Los Angeles, though, responded with a 6-2 swing to retake the lead, and
neither team took a lead larger than four points for the remainder of the
half. Arron Afflalo's trey within the final 30 seconds gave the Nuggets a
54-52 advantage at the break.
The back-and-forth affair continued in the third quarter, which saw seven lead
changes and seven ties.
After a short Paul jumper knotted the game at 63, Denver used a 6-2 spurt to
take the largest advantage of the frame, 69-64, with 5 1/2 minutes left.
But Griffin and Paul combined to scored the Clippers' next 12 points in a 12-4
run to put LA on top, 76-73. The team's traded buckets for the rest of the
third and the Clippers carried an 80-79 lead into the fourth after Kosta
Koufos failed to tie the game in the closing seconds when he went 1-for-2 at
the foul line.

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.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook
Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds. The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.
Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.
Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
