Hawks aim to bounce back against reeling Knicks
Basketball Betting Lines
03/08/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Hawks didn't open their current road trip the
way they had planned this past weekend, but seem to have a good shot at
bouncing back Monday night against the New York Knicks at Madison Square
Garden.
Atlanta had its four-game winning streak cut short with Saturday's 100-94 loss
at Miami in the opener of a three-game trek. Sixth Man of the Year candidate
Jamal Crawford scored 24 points off the bench to lead Atlanta, which dropped
to 15-15 as the visitor this season.
Joe Johnson netted 20 points and Josh Smith had 17 in the tough loss.
"We were controlling the game, and we had the tempo where we wanted it," said
Hawks head coach Mike Woodson. "Teams are going to make runs. [The Heat] made
a great run. They stayed with the zone."
The Hawks are fourth in the Eastern Conference and three games back of Orlando
for the lead in the Southeast Division, and will also visit Washington on the
trek. They had a chance to stay within striking distance of the Magic for the
top spot, but Orlando fended off the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday to extend
its lead.
New York is coming off a disturbing loss to the worst team in the NBA, the New Jersey Nets, and has dropped two straight and four of five games. In
Saturday's 113-93 setback to the Nets in the opener of a short homestand,
David Lee recorded 23 points and six boards in losing fashion.
Wilson Chandler registered a double-double with 20 points and 10 boards for
New York, which blew a 16-point lead in the first half to fall to 13-21 in
the Big Apple this season. The Knicks also set an NBA record by going 0-for-18
from three-point range. The last time they did not make a three-pointer in a
game was on March 29, 2006, when they went 0-of-6 from downtown versus Boston.
"We gave them confidence," said Knicks newcomer Tracy McGrady, who posted two
points and seven assists. "And once that happened, all hell froze over."
After tonight's game versus the Hawks, New York will kick off a five-game road
trip through San Antonio, Memphis, Dallas, Philadelphia and Boston. McGrady,
meanwhile, is questionable for Monday with body soreness.
The Knicks have won two of the first three meetings of the season with
Atlanta, and 15 of the last 19 meetings between the teams at the Garden.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)

Stanley Cup betting
New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
