Basketball Betting Lines

03/20/2010 - Sacramento, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brandon Jennings scored a game-high 35 points on 8-of-13 from three-point range, along with eight assists as the Bucks fought valiantly to take down the Sacramento Kings, 114-108 in double- overtime.

John Salmons netted 27, with seven rebounds and five assists as the Bucks won for the seventh time in their last eight outings. Andrew Bogut added 21 and 11 boards for the Bucks, who outscored the Kings 13-7 in the second extra period.

Beno Udrih paced Sacramento with 26 points and nine assists as the Kings fell for the third time in four games and lost rookie standout Tyreke Evans for both overtime periods. He suffered a concussion after being elbowed in the mouth late in the fourth quarter. He will undergo further testing to determine the full extent of the injury.

Both Carl Landry and Spencer Hawes added 16 points in the loss.

The Bucks broke out in the second overtime period as a Bogut hook shot and a Carlos Delfino triple gave them the 106-101 lead. A Salmons bank shot with 35.5 seconds left sealed the win for the Bucks as they made their free throws in the final 30 seconds.

"We did everything but cash in the win," said Kings coach Paul Westphal. "We made them take the shots we wanted them to take. All you can say is that it had to be their night."

In the extra period, the teams were tied mostly throughout and ended the period tied at 101. Jennings had an open look with 1.4 seconds left but missed the jumper short and Ersan Ilyasova's tip try didn't go.

The Bucks cut into the Kings lead and tied the game at 77 on a Jennings triple with just over 6 1/2 minutes left in the final quarter. But an Evans three- point play re-gained the advantage for Sacramento at 82-79 with just over five minutes remaining. A big Udrih triple with 2:59 to go stretched the lead to 89-82.

Milwaukee trimmed the lead to two on an Bogut dunk with 24.4 seconds left in the game, but Francisco Garcia drained two key foul shots put the Kings up four with 23.5 seconds left. A Salmons triple trimmed the edge, but the Kings continued to make their foul shots for a 95-92 lead after Udrih drained a pair.

After the Kings extended their lead to three on two Udrih free throws, Ilyasova drained a long-range three-pointer with 6.4 seconds left for the tie at the end of regulation at 95-95.

The Bucks then put together a 6-0 stretch to end the first frame up 29-21. The Kings came out in the second on an 11-0 run to take the lead at 32-29 with 9:01 left in the first half. Udrich capped the stretch with a driving layup. But the Bucks fought and gained back the advantage at 34-32 after a Jennings three-pointer. The Kings got with one on two free throws from Evans, ending the half down 49-48.

Both squads held the edge at numerous points in the third, but the Kings scored seven straight to end the quarter up 73-66, including a Dominic McGuire triple with 2.7 seconds remaining.

Game Notes

The Bucks converted on 14-of-30 three-pointers...Ilyasova finished with 12 points and 11 boards off the bench...The Kings converted on just 5-of-17 triples...Garcia finished with 10 points and Ime Udoka tallied seven points and 13 rebounds, all off the bench.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.

Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.

According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).

Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.

''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
    
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.

Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.

''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''

Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
   
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.

”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
   
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
