Beasley leads Heat over struggling Pistons
Basketball Betting Lines
03/31/2010 -
Auburn Hills, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Michael Beasley posted 28 points and nine
rebounds and Miami cruised past Detroit, 98-81, for its sixth straight win
despite a poor shooting night from Dwyane Wade.
Wade connected on just 4-of-13 shots from the field for 10 points, but the
Heat nevertheless got within a half-game of Milwaukee for the No. 5 seed in
the Eastern Conference playoff race.
Miami maintained its 1 1/2-game lead over seventh-place Charlotte.
Dorell Wright and Quentin Richardson each hit four of Miami's 12 three-
pointers to finish with 17 and 16 points, respectively, in the lopsided win.
Rodney Stuckey and Tayshaun Prince led the Pistons with 18 and 17 points,
respectively, in the Central Division bottom-dwellers' ninth straight loss.
The Pistons held a slim 25-23 advantage after 12 minutes, but the Heat took
over with a 17-2 spurt between the 10- and five-minute marks of the second.
Wright scored nine on the stretch and his three capped it for a 44-31 lead.
The score at halftime was 54-45 in favor of the visitors, and Beasley's
putback dunk finished off a nine-point Miami run for a healthy 69-51 cushion
with 4:35 left in the third.
Wade's late bucket provided a 75-62 differential heading to the fourth, and
Wright hit a three early in the stanza to push the differential to an
insurmountable margin of 82-62.
Game Notes
The last time Miami won six in a row was during a nine-game spurt in the
2006-07 campaign...Heat center Jermaine O'Neal missed the game due to a right
knee ailment, while Detroit's Richard Hamilton didn't play because of an ankle
injury...Miami has won five straight over Detroit after losing the previous
six matchups...Udonis Haslem recorded 10 points and 10 rebounds for Miami,
which shot 49.3 percent overall...Will Bynum netted 13 points for Detroit.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
