Golden State opens trek at Milwaukee

Basketball Betting Lines

02/27/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Golden State Warriors begin a five-game road trip when they visit the Milwaukee Bucks tonight at the Bradley Center.

This is the second and final meeting of the campaign between the clubs. On December 2nd, Maurice Williams hit the go-ahead jumper with 53.5 seconds left to lift Milwaukee to a 115-110 win over Golden State at ORACLE Arena.

The Bucks have won two in a row in the series. Golden State has won two straight after losing its last four at Milwaukee.

Golden State enters tonight's contest on a two-game losing streak. On Sunday, Maurice Evans poured in a career-high 26 points and superstar Kobe Bryant also netted 26 to power the Lakers to a 102-85 rout of the Warriors at ORACLE Arena.

Monta Ellis scored 22 and Jason Richardson netted 15 in the loss for the Warriors, who have dropped four of their last six games overall. Andris Biedrins had 16 rebounds for Golden State, which shot just 2-of-19 from three- point range and was 9-of-21 from the foul line.

The Warriors, who have dropped three in a row as the visitor, are a dismal 6-21 on the road this season. They will also visit Chicago, New York, Washington and Detroit on the current swing.

Milwaukee tries to win back-to-back games. Williams and Michael Redd scored 26 points apiece as the Bucks crushed the Philadelphia 76ers, 109-90, on Saturday at the Bradley Center.

Charlie Bell added 13 points in the win for the Bucks, who snapped a seven- game losing streak. Ruben Patterson also scored 13 points and dished out a career-high 10 assists for Milwaukee, which shot 12-of-25 from beyond the arc.

On the injury front for Milwaukee, guard Earl Boykins (sprained right thumb) is questionable for tonight's contest. Boykins, who was acquired in a trade from Denver earlier in the season, is averaging 14.8 points and 4.3 assists per game this season.

The Bucks are 12-12 at home in 2006-07. They will visit Chris Bosh and the Toronto Raptors on Friday at Air Canada Centre.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
