Celtics visit Clippers in finale of long trek

Basketball Betting Lines

02/25/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Celtics conclude a grueling six-game road trip Wednesday in Hollywood, where they face the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center.

The Celtics improved to 4-1 on the trek Monday in Denver, where Ray Allen and Paul Pierce thrived from beyond the three-point line and combined for 48 points, and Boston continued to roll despite being without star forward Kevin Garnett by blowing out the Nuggets, 114-76.

Allen shot 6-of-11 from three-point range on the way to 26 points, while Pierce made 4-of-7 from beyond the arc as the Celtics won their second straight since losing Garnett to a right knee injury last week.

The two wins were rather impressive, first a 128-108 win over the previously- hot Suns on Sunday. One night later, the Celtics were on fire again offensively, going 14-of-23 from three-point range while compiling 28 assists and racing to a 60-37 halftime lead.

Rajon Rondo contributed 14 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for Boston, which won in Denver for the first time since December 7, 2003 and is now an impressive 22-8 on the road. The Celtics also exacted some revenge for losing at home to Denver on November 14.

Garnett will remain on the sidelines tonight and is expected to miss at least two weeks. Meanwhile, forward Brian Scalabrine, who started for Garnett in Denver, strained his neck in the first quarter and didn't return. His status for tonight's contest is uncertain.

The Clippers opened a short two-game homestand in winning fashion on Monday. Rookie Eric Gordon went 6-of-7 from three-point range to finish with 27 points and Baron Davis logged 25 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds against his former team as Los Angeles picked up a 118-105 victory over the Golden State Warriors.

Zach Randolph posted 27 points and 11 rebounds for the Clippers, who shot 13- of-24 from behind the arc to snap a three-game losing streak and improve to 7-21 at Staples Center.

Marcus Camby returned from a four-game layoff due to an inner ear infection and finished with nine points and six rebounds for LA.

Los Angeles was without its leading scorer, second year star Al Thornton, against the Warriors. Thornton missed the contest with a right foot injury and is listed as day-to-day.

This will be the first meeting between the two clubs this season. The Celtics snapped a three-game skid to the Clippers by sweeping the home-and-home season series a year ago.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
