Basketball Betting Lines
02/02/2010 -
Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Arron Afflalo poured in 12 points, including the
game-winning jumper with 18.4 seconds left in overtime, as the Denver Nuggets
stayed hot at home with a 112-109 victory over the Sacramento Kings at the
Pepsi Center.
Kenyon Martin ended with 24 points and 12 rebounds for the Nuggets, who have
won nine in a row at home. Chauncey Billups finished with 23 points and nine
assists, Ty Lawson donated 15 points off the bench and Nene chipped in 14
points and six boards for Denver, which has won two straight and 10 of 11
overall.
The Nuggets played their fifth consecutive game without All-Star forward
Carmelo Anthony, who is still nursing an ankle injury.
Spencer Hawes tallied 23 points and seven rebounds for the Kings, who have
lost three in a row and 10 of 11 overall. Kevin Martin ended with 22 points,
six assists, and five rebounds, while Omri Casspi chipped in 14 points for
Sacramento, which has lost 10 consecutive road games.
The Nuggets ripped off six straight points early in overtime and went ahead
107-102 on a pair of Afflalo free throws with 3:11 remaining.
The Kings then responded with seven consecutive points, as Hawes' trey gave
Sacramento a 109-107 edge with about 1 1/2 minutes to go.
The back-and-forth battle continued as the Nuggets scored the final five
points of the extra session to claim victory. Nene's layup made it 109-109
and, following a Kevin Martin turnover, Afflalo made a baseline jumper with
18.4 ticks left to make it a two-point tilt.
Kevin Martin missed a jumper at the other end, and Billups made 1-of-2 from
the line with 0.7 seconds remaining to seal the win.
The Nuggets started the fourth on a 14-3 run to take the lead. Afflalo's layup
had Denver in front 87-81 with seven minutes remaining.
A Hawes jumper and pair of Kevin Martin free throws cut the deficit to 89-87
with less than 5 1/2 minutes to play in regulation.
Billups' layup had Denver ahead 99-95 with 55 seconds to go, but the Kings
scored the final four points of the fourth to send the contest into overtime.
Casspi made a short jumper at the other end to cut the gap to two. Nene then
turned the ball over at the opposite end of the floor, giving Sacramento a
chance to tie or go in front.
Casspi's jumper was off the mark, but Hawes was there for the tip-in to tie
the tilt at 99 with 27.9 seconds remaining.
Billups and Hawes each missed shots in the final seconds to send the game into
OT.
The score was tied at 26-26 following 12 minutes of play. A pair of Lawson
free throws have the Nuggets a 38-37 edge with 8:44 left in the second, but
the Kings responded with a 27-10 run to build a large lead. Kevin Martin's
trey had Sacramento ahead 64-48, and the score was 64-50 at the half.
Trailing 72-55 with 6 1/2 minutes remaining in the third, Denver closed the
period on an 18-6 burst to get within five. Billups made two three-pointers
during the flurry, which Lawson capped with a jumper to make it 78-73 heading
to the fourth.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value
If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).
For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.
TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.
"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,' it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."
"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.
Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
