Kobe leads unbeaten Lakers into Dallas

Basketball Betting Lines

11/11/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The undefeated Los Angeles Lakers kick off a short two-game road swing Tuesday when they travel to North Texas to face the Dallas Mavericks.

The Lakers improved to 5-0 on the young season on Sunday when reigning MVP Kobe Bryant scored 23 points as Los Angeles came away with a convincing 111-82 win over the Houston Rockets.

Pau Gasol had 20 points and grabbed 15 rebounds for the Lakers while Andrew Bynum totaled 13 points and seven boards and Jordan Farmar added 16 points and six assists off the bench.

The Mavericks finished a three-game road trip at 1-2 after Baron Davis scored a team-high 22 points and added 10 assists as the Los Angeles Clippers earned their first win of the season by defeating Dallas, 103-92, at the Staples Center on Sunday.

Dirk Nowitzki had a game-high 33 points and pulled down seven rebounds for the Mavs, who have lost two straight games and have yet to win at home this season.

Gerald Green scored 13 points and had 10 rebounds starting in place of forward Josh Howard, who missed the contest with a wrist injury. Jason Kidd finished with seven points and nine assists for Dallas. Howard is questionable for tonight's game.

The Lakers have won three straight games versus Dallas after the Mavs won the previous three.

Meanwhile, Dallas will attempt to avoid starting 0-3 at home for the first time since 1993-94, when they lost their first 19 home games.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
