Hawks make a stop in Golden State

Basketball Betting Lines

02/21/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Hawks will continue their four-game road trip out west this evening, when they take on the Golden State Warriors at ORACLE Arena.

Atlanta fell to 1-1 on the trip after Friday's 88-80 loss at Phoenix, as Josh Smith and Joe Johnson scored 21 and 19 points, respectively, for the Hawks, who have lost two of three games since a three-game win streak and fell to 13-13 as the visitor this season.

"On the road you have to play a perfect game and we turned the ball over too much tonight," said Atlanta head coach Mike Woodson. "We were down six late with the ball and had plenty of time and we threw the inbounds pass away. Little things like that will kill you."

Al Horford chipped in 10 points and nine rebounds in defeat. Atlanta is 1 1/2 games behind Orlando for the top sot in the Southeast Division and fourth in the Eastern Conference standings. It will also visit Utah on the trek.

Golden State will resume its lengthy six-game homestand Sunday and has alternated wins and losses over the past five games. It is 1-1 on the residency following a 100-89 loss versus the Jazz on Friday in Oakland.

C.J. Watson ended with 22 points off the bench for the Warriors, who couldn't maintain the momentum from a 130-98 rout of the Kings on Wednesday in the opener of the homestand. Corey Maggette finished with 14 points, while Anthony Morrow chipped in 10 points and six rebounds for Golden State, which shot just 37.2 percent from the floor.

"Coming off a big game like we did, and then coming out here and having a disappointing loss like this pretty much hurts, especially at home in front of your fans, so we just have to pick it up and get another win Sunday," Watson said.

Warriors star guard Monta Ellis returned to the lineup following a four-game absence due to a sprained left knee, posting six points and six assists. Ellis leads the team with 25.8 points per contest.

Golden State will also host the 76ers, Nuggets and Pistons, and is 11-16 at home this season.

Atlanta and Golden State have split the previous 18 meetings between the teams, while the Warriors have won five of seven as the host.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy.

Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.

Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
