Basketball Betting Lines

02/26/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Celtics nightmarish season continues tonight, as they visit the Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center.

Boston plays the finale of a five-game road trip and has dropped all four contests on the swing. Derek Fisher ended with 21 points on 8-of-11 from the field to lead the Utah Jazz to a 105-87 victory over the Celtics on Saturday at EnergySolutions Arena.

Paul Pierce ended with 19 points on just 5-of-18 from the floor in the loss to Utah for the Celtics, who have dropped four in a row and 22 of their last 23 games overall. Delonte West scored 16 and dished out six assists in defeat.

The Celtics are 8-21 on the road this season. They have dropped 12 in a row as the visitor. Boston's last victory on the road was on January 5th against Memphis.

Boston returns home to host the New York Knicks on Wednesday at TD Banknorth Garden.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.

Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
