O'Neal, Heat cruise past BullsBasketball Betting Lines03/25/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jermaine O'Neal ended with 24 points, as the Miami Heat crushed the Chicago Bulls, 103-74, at United Center. Dwyane Wade had 12 points and 10 assists for the Heat, who led 63-33 at halftime before cruising to their third consecutive win. Michael Beasley added 15 points for Miami, which had six players reach double-figure scoring. Hakim Warrick scored 14 to lead the Bulls, who had won their last two after dropping 10 in a row. In addition to having its win streak stopped, Chicago lost the opportunity to pick up ground in the playoff race. The Bulls entered Thursday's contest two games behind idle Toronto for the eighth playoff spot but continued to fade with the deflating loss in which they shot just under 33 percent and recorded a season-low in points. O'Neal provided 10 of his points in the first quarter, while Quentin Richardson added nine for the Heat, who shot 12-of-21 in the frame. Richardson ended the quarter by banking in a jumper to give Miami a 31-19 advantage. The Heat continued to draw out their lead in the second, and just past the midway point, Carlos Arroyo sank a jumper before Mario Chalmers drained a three that put Miami ahead 49-28. Wade capped the half with two foul shots as the Heat rolled into the break with the 30-point cushion. Miami did most of its damage in the first half, when it shot 60.5 percent (26- of-43). The Bulls never caught up, as the Heat extended their lead to as many as 39 en route to the blowout victory. Game Notes The victory put the Heat into sixth in the East, a half-game in front of idle Charlotte...Miami took a 3-1 win in the season series for the second consecutive year...Chicago's previous season-low in points was 78, which the Bulls posted in a loss to Toronto on December 5...Udonis Haslem had 14 points for Miami, while Arroyo and Chalmers each scored 10...Taj Gibson had 12 points and 10 boards for Chicago. Derrick Rose shot 5-of-16 from the field and ended with 12 points.

Chiefs' Treen Green out for Sunday's game How long Trent Green will remain sidelined is unknown. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday he will miss a second straight start Sunday when the Chiefs host the San Francisco 49ers. A two-time Pro Bowler, Green was going into a feet-first hook slide when he was knocked unconscious by a thunderous, head-snapping hit from Cincinnati's Robert Geathers. Oddsmakers at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com currently have the Chiefs listed as 7-point favorites versus the 49ers. The 49ers got beat by Philadelphia 38-24 as a 6.5-point underdog last week. The combined score went OVER the posted over/under total (42.5). Alex Smith completed 27-of-46 passes for 293 yards with a touchdown. Michael Robinson rushed for 29 yards and a pair of touchdowns on five carries. The Chiefs lost 9-6 to Denver last week as an 11-point underdog. The combined score was well UNDER the posted over/under total (38). To visit this online sports book got to MySportsbook.com for all your football betting needs.
MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details. According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800). Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund. ''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.'' Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby. ''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.'' Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year. ”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?'' For complete odds on the Kentucky Derby, visit MySportsbook.com.
