Pistons rally vs. Rockets, snap six-game skid with OT win

Basketball Betting Lines

03/07/2010 - Auburn Hills, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tayshaun Price provided a season-high 29 points and 10 rebounds and spearheaded a late comeback in regulation, and the Detroit Pistons edged the Houston Rockets in overtime, 110-107, at the Palace at Auburn Hills.

Price made 13-of-22 from the field and scored six points during a late 10-2 run in the fourth quarter that tied the game for Detroit, which badly needed the win after losing its previous six. Richard Hamilton provided the other four during the late surge and totaled 22 with eight assists, while Jonas Jerebko had 16 points and eight boards in the win.

Will Bynum, replacing Rodney Stuckey in the lineup at point guard, finished with 12 points and 11 assists. Stuckey collapsed in the team's previous game at Cleveland and was held overnight at the Cleveland Clinic; he is expected to recover from what was an undisclosed ailment that kept him out of Sunday's contest.

Kevin Martin led the Rockets with 27 points but missed a potential game-tying three-pointer at the end of overtime, as Houston lost for the ninth time in 13 games. Aaron Brooks added 25 points and seven assists, while Luis Scola had 20 points and 15 boards in the hard-luck defeat.

Trailing by eight with 3 1/2 minutes to go in the fourth, the Pistons pulled even with Houston behind Hamilton and Prince.

Prince finished two dunks off assists from Hamilton on consecutive possessions to pull within four, and, after a Brooks layup pushed Houston's lead back to six, Hamilton's two free throws and layup made it a 102-100 game with 1:08 remaining.

After Martin missed a shot on the ensuing Rockets touch, Prince took a deep rebound for a breakaway dunk to tie the game with 45.8 ticks on the clock.

Shane Battier and Hamilton each missed deep jumpers in the final moments to usher the game into overtime.

Jordan Hill's three point play 80 seconds into the extra session provided the visitors with a 105-104 edge, but Hamilton responded with a jumper, and a Jason Maxiell layup with 2:15 to go gave Detroit a 109-105 advantage.

Martin drew a foul with just under a minute left and sank both free throw attempts to halve the deficit, and Price missed two free throws with a chance to push the lead back to four with 11.7 seconds to play.

Brooks tried a go-ahead three-pointer with 5.9 seconds to go but missed, and Jerebko went only 1-for-2 from the line to keep Houston's hopes alive. Martin received the inbounds pass but only grazed the rim with his shot to end the game in Detroit's favor.

The Pistons grabbed a 29-20 lead after one quarter, but the Rockets climbed back and cut their deficit to 57-55 at halftime.

A 6-0 run early in the third provided Houston with a 69-63 edge after a Brooks three, and the visitors were ahead by a score of 86-82 heading to the fourth.

The Rockets maintained the lead throughout the fourth until Detroit's late surge.

Game Notes

Maxiell complemented his six points with a career-high 16 rebounds...Ben Wallace (knee) did not play for Detroit...The Pistons will finish their three- game homestand against Utah and Washington...Houston fell to 14-17 on the road, while Detroit improved to 15-17 at home...The season series was split, 1-1, as Houston's three-game win streak in the series came to an end...Hill finished with 12 points and eight boards for Houston, which got 10 points and seven rebounds from Battier...Charlie Villanueva had 15 points for Detroit.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
