Lakers welcome Nuggets to Staples Center

Basketball Betting Lines

11/21/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The top dog in the NBA's Western Conference, the Los Angeles Lakers, welcome the red-hot Denver Nuggets to Staples Center on Friday.

The Lakers improved to a gaudy 9-1 on Thursday when Kobe Bryant scored 24 points and Lamar Odom filled the stat sheet with 13 points and nine rebounds off the bench, as Los Angeles rolled past Phoenix, 105-92 in the Valley of the Sun.

Vladimir Radmanovic contributed 15 points and Andrew Bynum posted 10 points and seven boards for the Lakers, who have won two straight after their only loss of the season to Detroit.

Jordan Farmar donated 11 points off the bench and Trevor Ariza added 10 in the win.

The Nuggets have been almost as good as the Lakers since acquiring point guard Chauncey Billups in the blockbuster trade that sent Allen Iverson to Detroit.

Billups scored 22 points, doled out six assists and hauled in five rebounds to lead Denver in a 91-81 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.

Carmelo Anthony poured in 21 points, grabbed nine boards and dished out seven helpers for the Nuggets, who have won four straight and seven of eight with Billups in the lineup. Kenyon Martin had 18 points and Nene 16 in the win.

The Lakers have won four straight regular season games and beat the Nuggets, 104-97, in Denver earlier this season. Los Angles also swept the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs last season.

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.
