Basketball Betting Lines
02/15/2012 -
Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pau Gasol had 20 points, doubling up Kobe
Bryant, and the Los Angeles Lakers returned home with an 86-78 win over the
Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night.
Bryant had 10 points on 5-of-18 shooting without visiting the foul line and
Gasol added 13 rebounds for the Lakers, who were coming off a 3-3 road trip
while Staples Center was readied for Sunday night's Grammys.
The Lakers have beaten the Hawks six straight times at home and won 19 of the
last 22 meetings between the teams in LA.
"Tonight, we had to find a way," said Gasol. "We got some energy going on in
the second half and hit some big shots. Any time you hold a team down to 78
points is huge."
Jeff Teague scored 18 points to lead Atlanta while Josh Smith and Joe Johnson
had 15 apiece. The Hawks started a five-game road trip with their fifth loss
in seven games.
The Lakers trailed by five points early in the third quarter, but turned the
game around with a 15-1 run sparked by four straight points by Bryant and a
dunk by Metta World Peace.
Bryant scored eight of his 10 points during the burst and Andrew Goudelock
ended it with a three, giving the Lakers a 59-50 lead.
Their advantage was 59-51 going into the fourth and reached 17 points on a
Gasol three that made it 81-64 with around 3 1/3 minutes remaining.
"We're a very good defensive team," said Bryant. "We did well in transition.
We were able to get some steals and turn them into points."
Andrew Bynum had 15 points and 15 rebounds for the Lakers while World Peace
and Goudelock scored 10 apiece. LA shot 44 percent from the field and held
Atlanta to 34.4 percent.
"We just didn't finish tonight," said Hawks coach Larry Drew.
The Lakers had 17 turnovers -- Atlanta scored 21 points off them -- including
10 in the second half. LA led 27-24 after the first quarter and 42-41 at
halftime.
Game Notes
Up next for the Lakers is a home-and-home series with the Phoenix Suns this
weekend. They will play in LA on Friday and in Phoenix on Sunday...Atlanta's
five-game road trip also includes trips to Phoenix, Portland, Chicago and New

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams
NFL Betting
It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash. NFL Wagering
