Nuggets, Spurs clash in San Antonio

Basketball Betting Lines

02/20/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Antonio Spurs have recovered from their eight-game road trip and return to the AT&T Center this evening to host the Denver Nuggets.

San Antonio, which is second in the Southwest standings, went 4-4 on the swing and has won two straight, including last Wednesday's 90-81 win over the Detroit Pistons at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

Tim Duncan scored 23 points and grabbed eight rebounds, while Manu Ginobili added 20 points to help end Detroit's seven-game winning streak. Tony Parker netted 16 points and dished out eight assists for the Spurs, who will now work on their 16-8 home record.

Duncan had four points and five rebounds, while Parker added eight points and 10 assists in Sunday's win for the West in the 56th All-Star Game.

Meanwhile, the Nuggets had a three-game winning streak come to an with a 99-94 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on February 14 at the Target Center.

All-Star Carmelo Anthony left the game with a bruised right thigh but returned to score 28 points. Nene scored 18 points for the Nuggets, who are 12-11 away from the Pepsi Center this season.

Anthony recorded 20 points and nine boards for the West on Sunday.

Denver played Minnesota without All-Star guard Allen Iverson, who has eight out of the Nuggets last nine games with a sprained ankle. Iverson, who is questionable for tonight, skipped Sunday's All-Star Game in Las Vegas due to the injury. The Nuggets are 4-4 in the stretch without Iverson, who is probable for tonight's contest.

Tuesday's matchup between Denver and San Antonio is the second of three meetings this season. The Spurs won the first encounter, 92-83, on January 10 at the Pepsi Center.

Denver has won four of the last seven meetings, but has dropped nine of 11 and 16 of its last 19 trips to San Antonio.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
