Sixers stop RocketsBasketball Betting Lines02/07/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andre Iguodala ended with 14 points, 10 rebounds and six assists and hit a big three-pointer down the stretch, as the Philadelphia 76ers surprised the Houston Rockets, 102-95, at the Toyota Center. Thaddeus Young netted a team-high 17 points, while Willie Green and Elton Brand chipped in 15 and 13 points, respectively for the Sixers, who have rattled off a season-high four straight wins. Aaron Brooks notched 34 points thanks to a 6-for-11 effort from behind the arc for the Rockets, who had a short two-game winning streak stopped. Kyle Lowry deposited 14 points, and Carl Landry added 13 points and 10 rebounds in the loss. Lowry left the game in the third quarter with a sprained left ankle and he's expected to miss Tuesday's game at Miami. Lowry will be re-evaluated in approximately a week. A Brooks jumper brought the Rockets within 94-91 with under three minutes remaining in regulation, but both he and Shane Battier missed potential tying three-pointers on the next possession. Iguodala answered with a three-ball with 1:37 showing, and the same Houston duo missed from behind the arc the next two times Houston had the ball. After the Sixers were whistled for a five-second violation on an inbounds pass, Battier turned it over with 33.9 seconds left to end the comeback bid. The Sixers led 26-16 late in opening quarter, but a Lowry three-point play and a Chase Budinger make from behind the arc in the final 30 seconds made it a four-point game. The momentum was firmly in Houston's favor thanks to an 18-0 stretch early in the second. Brooks twice hit from distance during the four-minute span, and another Lowry hoop and foul shot gave the Rockets a 42-30 lead midway through the frame. The big quarter had the Rockets on top 57-47 at halftime, but the Sixers stayed close in the third and trailed just 76-70 heading to the final frame. Consecutive buckets from Young followed by a Lou Williams three-pointer tied the game, 79-79, 2 1/2 minutes into the fourth. A Rodney Carney jumper on the next possession gave the visitors the lead, and it was nip-and-tuck from that point on. Game Notes Williams had nine points for Philadelphia, which received a 10-point effort from rookie Jrue Holiday...Philadelphia made 48.6 percent of its shots from the floor, compared the Houston's 41.0 percent shooting effort...Samuel Dalembert grabbed 10 rebounds for the Sixers...Rockets swingman Trevor Ariza was forced to exit the game in the final moments of the fourth quarter with a left hip pointer. He is listed as day-to-day.

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.
