Heat host hapless Sixers

Basketball Betting Lines

03/14/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Heat continue their push toward a postseason berth when they host the lowly Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.

The Heat are coming off a huge win over Chicago on Friday in which Quentin Richardson made 7-of-11 three-pointers on his way to 23 points while pulling down seven rebounds, as Miami handled the Bulls, 108-95.

Jermaine O'Neal had a season-high 25 points to go with six rebounds for the Heat, who improved to 2-0 on a six-game homestand and have won five of six, overall. Dwyane Wade chipped in 22 points and seven assists for Miami, which got 17 points off the bench from Mario Chalmers.

"This one we had to find out different ways to win," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We had to do it a little bit ugly. We tried to grind it offensively."

Miami is now percentage points behind Charlotte for the sixth spot in the Eastern Conference, 2 1/2 games ahead of the ninth place Bulls.

Forward Michael Beasley missed the Chicago game with a thigh bruise, while Dorell Wright served the first of a two-game suspension levied after he was charged with a DUI and driving with a suspended license. Meanwhile, veteran guard Rafer Alston was suspended for the season by the team after he went AWOL without telling the organization.

The Heat hope to have Beasley back in the lineup tonight.

The Sixers fell for the eighth time in nine games on Friday when LeBron James ended with 23 points and Mo Williams chipped in 21, as Cleveland pulled out a tough 100-95 decision over Philadelphia.

Andre Iguodala posted 30 points, seven boards and five assists for the Sixers. Elton Brand contributed 24 points and nine rebounds, and Thaddeus Young added 15 points in the loss.

"I hate to harp on it, but they win a lot of ball games and we don't," said Brand. "They know how to get the key players the ball at key times."

Miami has taken two straight from Philly in South Beach and also won the only matchup between the teams this season, a 105-78 rout in Philly on Feb. 16.

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.
