Blazers pay a visit to Minnesota

Basketball Betting Lines

11/15/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers will try to get back on the winning track tonight, when they resume a five-game road trip against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center.

Portland had a four-game winning streak stopped after Friday's 87-82 loss to the New Orleans Hornets in the Big Easy. Brandon Roy netted a game-high 21 points and LaMarcus Aldridge contributed 15 points and eight boards for Portland, which is 2-1 so far on the swing.

Blazers star Greg Oden, playing in his second game since returning from a foot injury, recorded 11 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks in just over 24 minutes of action.

Portland will also visit Golden State on the trek.

Minnesota has lost six straight since a season-opening victory versus the Sacramento Kings. It just went winless on a three-game road trip and suffered a 113-110 overtime loss to the Warriors on Tuesday at ORACLE Arena.

Al Jefferson registered 25 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks for the Timberwolves, who fell to 0-4 on the road in 2008-09. Rashad McCants and Ryan Gomes both scored 18 points while Randy Foye had 15 and eight assists.

The Blazers handed Minnesota a 97-93 loss at the Rose Garden on November 8 this season and have won five straight and six of the last seven meetings.

Portland has won its last two games at the Target Center.

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.
