Pistons top Bucks to halt slide
Basketball Betting Lines
02/03/2012 -
Auburn Hills, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Pistons had lost a season-high seven
straight entering Friday's matchup with the Bucks, who were in the midst of a
season-long three-game win streak. Then, something gave.
Behind a career-high 26 points from Brandon Knight, Detroit halted its slide
with an 88-80 victory. Greg Monroe added 18 points and 11 rebounds, and
Tayshaun Prince finished with 13 points and nine boards.
"We played for a full 48 minutes tonight," said Monroe. "Everybody that was in
the game played hard. Everybody played with energy."
The Bucks, who were coming off of Wednesday's comeback win over the Heat, were
paced by Brandon Jennings' 20 points. Shaun Livingston had 14 and Ersan
Ilyasova chipped in nine and 12 rebounds.
The Pistons led by 10 at the half and 72-61 after three, but had to endure a
pair of late Milwaukee runs to halt their dubious streak.
Milwaukee opened the fourth with a 7-0 burst, which included six straight from
Tobias Harris, to pull within four. Detroit responded with an 8-1 run, capped
by Knight's running layup, which caromed high off the glass and through the
net, to re-establish a double-digit advantage.
"He did a great job tonight taking on the challenge of Brandon Jennings,"
Monroe said of Knight.
The Bucks didn't relent, again pulling within four, 80-76, behind three
Livingston free throws and buckets from Ilyasova and Carlos Delfino. Knight
then sandwiched a pair of baskets around a Livingston layup to make it a six-
point game with two minutes left.
Jennings and Drew Gooden both missed three-pointers on the Bucks' next
possession and the Bucks were without a final charge. Monroe and Rodney
Stuckey made two free throws apiece in the closing seconds to seal the Detroit
win.
Game Notes
The Pistons were coming off an 0-4 road trip. They have defeated the Bucks
three straight times at The Palace...Pistons' forward Jason Maxiell grabbed a
season-high 12 rebounds...Prior to the game, the Pistons announced that
forward Charlie Villanueva will miss at least a few weeks due to continued
soreness and discomfort in his right ankle. After visiting with multiple foot
and ankle orthopedic surgeons, Villanueva was diagnosed with a resolving
posterior tibial tenosynovitis with small talotibal spurs. It was recommended
that the ankle be partially immobilized. He will be re-evaluated in a few
weeks.

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.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
