Mavs aim to push win streak to 13 vs. Nets
Basketball Betting Lines
03/10/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The NBA's worst team takes on its hottest when the New Jersey Nets meet the Dallas Mavericks in Big D tonight.
Despite playing short-handed the Mavs earned their 12th straight victory on
Monday in Minneapolis when Shawn Marion posted 29 points to go with 14
rebounds, pacing Dallas in a 125-112 decision over the lowly Timberwolves.
Dirk Nowitzki and Caron Butler added 24 and 23 points, respectively, for
the Mavericks, who are in the midst of their longest winning streak in three
seasons and are now second in the Western Conference, three games behind the
LA Lakers. Dallas last ripped off 13 straight victories during a franchise-
best 17-game run from January 27-March 11, 2007. Nowitzki, meanwhile, is now
just seven points behind Hall of Famer George Gervin for 30th on the all-time
NBA scoring list with 20,701 total points.
Jason Kidd ended with 12 points and 10 assists for the victors, who continued
their stellar play despite toiling without high-scoring guard Jason Terry
(facial surgery) along with big men Brendan Haywood (back) and Erick Dampier
(dislocated finger) in the Twin Cities. Also, one of Terry's replacement in
the backcourt, J.J. Barea, left Monday's contest with a sprained ankle.
"When someone is down, someone else picks them up," Mavericks head coach Rick
Carlisle said of his team's cohesiveness. "When you get on a roll like this
those things have to happen."
Barea and Haywood are listed as questionable for tonight as Dallas opens a
four-game homestand but Terry and Dampier will be out until later this month.
The Nets, meanwhile, are playing out the string hoping to avoid becoming the
worst team in NBA history. New Jersey needs to secure three wins in its final
19 contests to surpass the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers, who finished that
season with a miserable 9-73 record.
The Nets fell to 7-56 on the season Monday in Memphis when Rudy Gay and Mike
Conley each scored 21 points to push the Grizzlies past New Jersey, 107-101.
Courtney Lee led all scorers with 30 points on 13-of-20 shooting, and Devin
Harris netted 28 points and five assists for the Nets, who were coming off a
win over the Knicks and still haven't won two in row this season. Rookie
Terrence Williams added 14 points, six rebounds and six assists off the bench.
"We don't like giving teams the head starts we've been giving," Harris said.
"Once we correct that, it will be easier to contend in the fourth quarter."
The Nets are a hapless 1-22 against the Western Conference this season and
just 4-28 on the road as they try to avoid a home-and-home season sweep at the
hands of the Mavs. Dallas last swept the season series in 2006-07.

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.
