Basketball Betting Lines

02/20/2012 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Quiet for most of the night, Ryan Anderson knocked down the go-ahead three-pointer with 18.1 seconds remaining and the Orlando Magic edged the Milwaukee Bucks, 93-90, on Monday.

Down by three, Milwaukee elected not to go for the tie with 5.1 seconds left and Larry Sanders missed an easy layup after breaking free in the paint. The loose ball was batted around and time ran out on the Bucks.

Dwight Howard had a huge night with 28 points and 16 rebounds while Jameer Nelson chipped in 15 points and five assists for the Magic, who have won all three games against the Bucks this season. Orlando has won five of its last six overall.

Anderson had nine points and 11 rebounds in the win.

Ersan Ilyasova scored 15 points with 15 rebounds for the Bucks, who have lost five of their last six games. Sanders finished with 13 points and 12 rebounds.

A 6-0 flurry by the visitors late in the final stanza gave the Magic an 87-86 advantage with 1:23 to play.

Anderson made 1-of-2 from the line, Hedo Turkoglu nailed a step-back jumper from the baseline and J.J. Redick gave the Magic the advantage with a three- pointer from the top of the arc.

Sanders' layup underneath the basket gave the Bucks the lead right back on their ensuing possession, but Howard tied the game at 88 after splitting a pair of foul shots.

With 31.2 seconds to play, Brandon Jennings got his tough floater to fall to give the Bucks a 90-88 margin.

But Anderson had the answer.

Redick initially missed a runner, but Nelson picked up the offensive rebound and dished to Anderson at the top of the arc and he nailed the wide-open trey.

After Jennings lost the ball out-of-bounds at the other end, Nelson made a pair of free throws to make it 93-90 with 10.8 left.

The Bucks scored 13 points off turnovers in the opening quarter and took a 29-27 lead into the second. Orlando made four of its nine attempts from beyond the arc, but turned the ball over six times.

The Magic held the Bucks to just 27.3 percent from the field in the second frame as the visitors took a slim 49-48 advantage into the locker room. Howard had 17 points and nine rebounds to pace Orlando in the opening half.

The contest remained tight in the third as Milwaukee took a 70-67 lead into the final quarter.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
