Thunder close out trip in PortlandBasketball Betting Lines02/09/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oklahoma City Thunder hope to finish off a three-game road trip in perfect fashion on Tuesday when they meet a Portland Trail Blazers club minus All-Star Brandon Roy at the Rose Garden. The Thunder improved to 2-0 on their trek Saturday with a 104-95 win over the Golden State Warriors in Oakland. Kevin Durant had 29 points and eight rebounds in that one. Russell Westbrook had an incredible all-around performance with 21 points, 10 assists, a career-best eight steals and seven rebounds. Jeff Green scored 18 for the Thunder, who have won five in a row. The franchise hasn't won six straight since a nine-game run from Nov. 5-19, 2004, when they toiled in Seattle. "Everybody knows it's coming," Durant said of Westbrook's possible quadruple- double in the future. "It's nothing new to us. We all followed his lead tonight." There have been only four quadruple-doubles in NBA history, with San Antonio's David Robinson securing the last one when he netted 34 points along with 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 blocks against Detroit on Feb. 17, 1994. Durant, meanwhile, has now scored at least 25 points in 24 consecutive games, the longest such scoring run since Allen Iverson turned the trick 27 straight times in the 2000-01 season. The Blazers, meanwhile, were trounced in their last outing, a 99-82 setback to the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers. Ron Artest poured in 21 points and Lamar Odom contributed 10 points and tied a career-best with 22 rebounds in that one, as the Lakers overcame the absence of Kobe Bryant to win in Portland for the first time in nearly five years with a 99-82 triumph over the short-handed Trail Blazers. LaMarcus Aldridge had 16 points for Portland, which lost for the fifth time in eight contests. Andre Miller added 14 points and Jerryd Bayless 13 in defeat. "They're a good defense. You've got length with Odom and [Pau] Gasol and [Ron] Artest," Blazers coach Nate McMillan said. "We couldn't get to the paint and our shots didn't fall. If your shots aren't falling and you're not getting anything easy, no second opportunities, it's going to be a tough night." Before the game, the Blazers announced Roy will be sidelined through the All- Star break due to a strained right hamstring. Roy saw limited action in a January 20 game at Philadelphia, but hasn't played since. An All-Star, Roy was replaced on the Western Conference team by LA Clippers center Chris Kaman on Monday. Portland has won four straight over the Thunder, including a 83-74 win in Oklahoma City on Nov. 1.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting OddsSuper Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset. The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown. The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns. Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy. MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds: Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line) Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line) Matt Foust won both of his conference championship plays yesterday and he is ready to serve up plenty of Super Bowl action.

Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team. Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team. "I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success." Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate. Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns. But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches. Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips. Here are the football odds as seen at MySportsbook.com and subject to change after February 10, 2007 if not locked in prior to that date.
