Heat, Bulls set for Windy City skirmishBasketball Betting Lines03/25/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Heat are closing in on their second straight postseason berth, but will face a tough challenge tonight versus the hungry Chicago Bulls at the United Center. Miami is tied with Charlotte for the sixth spot in the East, while the Bulls sit two games behind Toronto for the eighth and final postseason position in the conference standings with 12 games remaining on the schedule. The Heat have won two straight and eight of 11 games, and opened a three-game road trip with Monday's 99-89 victory at New Jersey behind Dwyane Wade's 27 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds. Wade now has 93 career double-doubles for fifth on Miami's all-time list and is two shy of tying Tim Hardaway for fourth. Jermaine O'Neal tallied 25 points and Michael Beasley chipped in 16 for the Heat, who will also visit Milwaukee and are 16-18 away from south Florida this season. "We knew it wasn't going be an easy game," Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra said after his team shot 55.4 percent from the floor. "You look at a team like this and just look at the record and you are very deceived by it. You have to give them credit for competing every night." Wade is listed as probable for Thursday's game with a bruised right quadriceps muscle. He is fifth in the NBA with 26.5 points per game. Chicago is trying to reach the playoffs a second straight year and for the fifth time in six seasons. It has won two in a row since a horrendous 10-game losing streak and kicked off a three-game homestand with a 98-88 victory over Houston on Monday. Derrick Rose led all scorers with 27 points, handed out eight assists and grabbed seven rebounds in the win. Rose, who is averaging 24.0 points, 5.6 assists and 2.4 rebounds in his last nine games, is just one of four players posting at least 20.0 ppg, 5.7 apg and 3.5 rpg this season (LeBron James, Chris Paul, Wade). Rose and Company got a huge lift when head coach Vinny Del Negro was tossed from the game after receiving a second technical in the final minute of the third quarter. "We needed that, we need that more often," Rose said regarding the spark after the ejection. "One of us had to step up and let it be known in this league that they're not going to keep bullying." Kirk Hinrich was 4-for-4 from three-point range for 17 points against the Rockets, and is averaging 12.6 points and 6.0 rebounds over his past five contests. Chicago had a 53-39 edge on the boards and is second in the NBA in rebounds with 44.19 boards per game. The Bulls will also host New Jersey on the residency and are 20-14 in the Windy City this season. Miami has won two of three matchups with the Bulls this season and six of the previous eight meetings overall. These two clubs have split the past 12 encounters at the United Center.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team. Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team. "I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success." Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate. Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns. But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches. Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips. Here are the football odds as seen at MySportsbook.com and subject to change after February 10, 2007 if not locked in prior to that date.
