Durant, Thunder hang on to beat Hawks

Basketball Betting Lines

01/18/2010 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Durant finished with 29 points, as the Oklahoma City Thunder held on for a 94-91 victory over the Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena.

Durant entered the game having reached the 30-point mark in his last five contests, and had a chance to make it six in a row when he went to the line with 4.3 seconds left. He had made his first 13 free throws to that point and sank his first attempt, but missed the second to give the Hawks a chance to tie.

Jamal Crawford, who on Friday hit a three at the buzzer to lift Atlanta over Phoenix, lined up a long three from the top of the arc. However, the shot bounced off the rim to end the game.

Jeff Green finished with 15 points and 11 boards, and had a big three-point play in the final minute to help secure the win for the Thunder, who have won their last two. Nenad Krstic added 16 points and seven rebounds.

Joe Johnson had 23 points to pace the Hawks, who had won their last three. Josh Smith added 18 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists, while Al Horford scored 13 to go with 10 boards.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:

Saints +6 @ Colts -6

Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)

Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)

Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5

Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1

Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3
