Basketball Betting Lines

02/24/2009 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Daniel Gibson scored 19 points off the bench, Maurice Williams added 18 and six assists and Cleveland cruised to a 94-79 victory over Memphis even with a quiet night from LeBron James.

The struggling Grizzlies have dropped five in a row.

The Cavaliers were the aggressors from the outset. A 7-2 burst to end the session opened up a 27-16 advantage, as Wally Szczerbiak's layup and a pair of James free throws capped the period.

Gibson went on a personal seven-point spurt to begin the second quarter, ending a 14-2 stretch that spanned both quarters. A pair of buckets in the lane and a three-pointer put the margin at 34-16. The edge grew to 20 points at 46-26 on James' layup just over halfway through the stanza.

The lead stood at 58-36 after 24 minutes of game action. Cleveland maintained its comfortable advantage, 76-56, after three quarters, and the edge grew to 86-63 after a Williams trey and a Gibson jumper during the early stages of the fourth quarter.

Cleveland cruised to victory from there.

Game Notes

The Cavaliers shot 43.1 percent, but lived on the charity stripe (24-of-29) compared to just 11 free throw attempts for the Grizzlies. Memphis made 42 percent of its shots...The Grizzlies have lost five straight in Cleveland.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.

Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend.  Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
