Basketball Betting Lines

02/10/2012 - Sacramento, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tyreke Evans scored 22 points, DeMarcus Cousins added 19 and the Kings made enough free throws down the stretch to take down the Thunder, 106-101.

Marcus Thornton finished with 15 points, including a pair of three-pointers during a late 18-4 run that put Sacramento on top for good.

The Kings scored 28 points off 23 turnovers to win for the fourth time in five games.

Russell Westbrook netted 33 points, Kevin Durant chipped in 27 to go with eight rebounds and Serge Ibaka blocked 10 shots for Oklahoma City, which fell to 2-2 on its five-game road trip.

Daequan Cook drained a three-pointer to put the Thunder on top, 95-87, with 5:56 remaining, and the visitors only made three field goals the rest of the way.

A Thornton three-pointer tied things at 97 with 2:07 to play, and Cousins went 1-for-2 at the foul line after grabbing an offensive rebound the next time down.

Westbrook hit a pullup jumper for a 99-98 advantage, but turned it over two of the next three possessions -- the first coming when he stepped on the sideline after Donte Greene hit a pair of free throws.

Evans added another free throw with 39.2 seconds showing, and following Durant's missed three, Cousins essentially put the game away with two more from the stripe.

The Kings led 23-19 heading to the second quarter, led 57-55 at halftime and trailed 78-76 entering the final stanza. There were nine ties and nine lead changes in the first three frames.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
