Durant, Thunder visit Twin Cities to take on WolvesBasketball Betting Lines01/20/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - There is no better time than now to get the ball in Kevin Durant's hands. The young star for the Oklahoma City Thunder will try to shoot down another foe tonight, when the Minnesota Timberwolves welcome their Northwest Division-rivals to the Target Center. Durant scored 29 points in Monday's 94-91 victory at Atlanta in the opener of a four-game road trip and extended his franchise record by scoring 25 or more points for the 15th consecutive time. He entered the game having reached the 30-point mark in his last five contests for the Thunder, who have won two straight and four of their last six games. "Of course making shots is good, but if we can come back and get a stop, that means we're in the game," Durant said. "I think we did that. Joe Johnson hit some tough shots, but we've got to live with those. I think we got stops when we needed them and we scored as well." Jeff Green finished with 15 points and 11 boards, as Oklahoma City posted its 23rd win of the season to equaled its win total for all of last season. The Thunder, who are 7-1 on the road this season when leading after three quarters of play, improved to 11-9 as the guest and will also visit Memphis and Cleveland on the current road swing. Minnesota will try to string back-to-back wins together for the first time since late December when they resume a three-game homestand Wednesday. The Timberwolves battled back from a 20-point deficit to beat Philadelphia, 108-103, in overtime on Monday afternoon. Rookie Jonny Flynn scored 16 of his career-high 29 points during a huge second half for the Wolves, who ended a four-game slide and got 23 points and 13 rebounds from star forward Al Jefferson. "It feels great. We kind of struggled a little bit in the first half, then came out big and fought back. You have to keep fighting and we did that today," Flynn said. The T'Wolves will also visit New Orleans and own a 6-15 mark at the Target Center this season. On the injury front forward Kevin Love (illness) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City. Minnesota and Oklahoma City split four games last season, while these two clubs have split the previous eight encounters in the Twin Cities.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich. The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
