Basketball Betting Lines

11/08/2008 - New Orleans, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Paul had 21 points, 13 assists and seven rebounds on a record-breaking night as the New Orleans Hornets got past the Miami Heat, 100-89.

Dwyane Wade scored 30 points and had 10 assists for the Heat, who had a two- game win streak broken. Chris Quinn had 14 points in defeat.

A jam from Udonis Haslem had the Heat within 95-87 with 2 1/2 minutes remaining, but Stojakovic responded with a three-pointer to essentially seal the victory.

Ahead by just a point after the first quarter, the Hornets opened breathing room in the second. Michael Beasley's bucket gave the Heat the lead at the start of the second quarter, but New Orleans scored the ensuing 11 points. James, Rasual Butler and Peterson each hit three-pointers during the run for a 35-25 advantage.

The Hornets led by as many as 17 later in the second, but Miami had the final six to claw within 47-36 at intermission.

A pair of Paul free throws moved the Hornets to a 63-49 lead midway through the third before Miami came within 74-66 going to the fourth.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
