Blazers aid postseason hopes with win over MavsBasketball Betting Lines03/26/2010 - Portland, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - LaMarcus Aldridge finished with 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, as the Portland Trail Blazers continued their playoff push with a 101-89 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. Andre Miller had 19 points and 10 assists for the Blazers, while Marcus Camby added 17 points and 11 boards. Brandon Roy contributed 16 points and seven assists for Portland, which rebounded from Sunday's loss at Phoenix to win for the sixth time in its last seven games. The victory kept the Blazers, who entered Thursday's contest in the eighth position in the Western Conference, in the thick of the playoff hunt. Additionally, it pulled them into a virtual tie with San Antonio for the seventh spot in the West, and within a game of Oklahoma City for sixth. Caron Butler had 25 points and nine rebounds to pace the Southwest Division- leading Mavericks, who are still four games ahead of the second-place Spurs. Shawn Marion and Dirk Nowitzki each added 15 points in the loss. It was a tight game to begin the fourth quarter, and Marion's layup a little more than two minutes in had the Mavericks within 82-80. But Portland got some critical separation by following with an 11-2 run. Rudy Fernandez connected on a three before Miller hit a jumper to end the rally, giving the Blazers a 93-82 advantage with six minutes to play. It was essentially a game-clinching run for Portland, as Dallas, which shot just 4- of-17 in the fourth quarter, struggled to make shots down the stretch. Portland held a number of leads throughout the game, but could never gain complete control, as Dallas found a way to get back in the contest. After Camby poured in five straight points to put the Blazers ahead 25-16 with four minutes left in the first quarter, the Mavericks scored the next seven and were down 32-27 entering the second. Then, with 1:34 left in the half, Roy sank a jumper that ended an eight-point Portland burst for a 55-46 advantage. However, Butler scored the game's next five points, and Dallas was down 60-54 at the break. After the Mavs opened the third with baskets from Marion, Nowitzki and Butler to even the contest, Portland once again stretched out its lead. A 12-0 run, capped by two Camby buckets, had the Blazers ahead 72-60. But once again, Dallas got back into the contest, countering with a seven- point run, and the visitors trailed by five, 80-75, moving to the fourth. Game Notes The Blazers lead the season series, 3-0. The teams close out the matchup April 9 in Portland...The Mavericks' game-high lead of six came when they scored the game's first six points...Jason Kidd and Jason Terry each had 11 points for Dallas...Portland shot 50 percent.

(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.
