Kleiza leads Nuggets past Bucks
Basketball Betting Lines
11/19/2008 -
Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Linas Kleiza scored a season-high 25 points in a
reserve role, guiding Denver to a 114-105 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Carmelo Anthony had 17 points and Nene scored 13 for the Nuggets, who have won
three in a row and six of seven. Chauncey Billups, acquired in the Allen
Iverson deal to Detroit, scored 11 and dished out five assists as the Nuggets
continued to progress from the Nov. 3 blockbuster deal.
"It feels good to get rest, having everybody contribute and still win," said
Anthony. "Regardless of who's out there, we wanted to attack early. We're
winning and that's a great feeling. You don't want to get complacent though."
Dahntay Jones chipped in 15 points, while Renaldo Balkman and Kenyon Martin
each scored 10 in the victory, Denver's 10th in the last 12 meetings with the
Bucks.
"We got a win and that's all that matters," said Kleiza. "We're definitely
feeling good about ourselves now. We're just trying not to have any let-down
games."
Andrew Bogut was limited to two points and three rebounds, but piled up four
fouls in just 16 minutes of court time for the Bucks, losers of two straight
and five of seven. Charlie Bell had a season-high 25 points for Milwaukee,
which posted six players in double figures.
"We weren't ready to play tonight," said Bucks coach Scott Skiles. "It was
just a very poor effort all the way around from everybody."
Kleiza's three-pointer keyed a late first quarter run, and the Nuggets took a
34-28 lead into the second period. He then highlighted a 19-3 second quarter
push with seven points. J.R. Smith's two free throw ended the flurry for a
53-33 advantage at the midway point of the second quarter and it was 64-50 at
the half.
Denver continued to hold a sizeable lead throughout the third and carried a
91-73 advantage going to the fourth. The Bucks only cut the deficit under
double digits with just over two minutes left on an Austin Croshere jumper for
a 111-102 difference.

Odds to Win the 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament
As of February 9, 2007, 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.
