Basketball Betting Lines

02/17/2010 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tony Parker poured in 28 points to help the San Antonio Spurs fend off the Indiana Pacers, 90-87, at Conseco Fieldhouse.

Parker returned to the lineup after missing last Thursday's win at Denver with a left hip flexor strain. The three-time All-Star also had three rebounds for the Spurs, who improved to 4-2 on an eight-game road trip.

Manu Ginobili added 18 points, seven assists and six rebounds for San Antonio, which won despite shooting just 35.4 percent from the floor. Richard Jefferson chipped in 13 points and six boards, while Tim Duncan scored eight points and pulled down 26 rebounds for the victors.

Danny Granger finished with 23 points and eight rebounds for the Pacers, who have dropped three in a row. Roy Hibbert and T.J. Ford each donated 14 points. Hibbert also grabbed seven rebounds for Indiana, which shot 42.2 percent from the field.

Trailing 66-52 with less than 4 1/2 minutes left in the third, Indiana bridged the final two quarters with an impressive 23-3 run. Ford had eight points during the flurry that Earl Watson ended with a layup for a 75-69 edge with 9:44 to play.

The Spurs fought back with a 19-7 surge to go in front for good. Jefferson's trey had San Antonio ahead 85-82. Following a Hibbert miss, Ginobili recorded a three-point play to cap the spurt, making it 88-82 with over 1 1/2 minutes remaining.

A Granger three-pointer had Indiana within 90-87 with 30.2 seconds to go, but the Spurs used some good rebounding at the other end to run the clock out. Ginobili's driving layup was partially blocked by Hibbert, and Duncan grabbed the offensive board. George Hill then threw up a desperation three-pointer with the shot clock about to expire. The shot hit off the rim and Duncan pulled down another board to secure the victory.

The Pacers led by as many as 10 in the first quarter and took a 28-24 edge into the second.

Trailing 35-32 with 8 1/2 minutes left in the second, the Spurs went on a 19-4 run. Ginobili tallied seven points during the spurt, which Keith Bogans capped with a trey for a 51-39 lead with 1:45 to go until half.

Indiana scored the final six points of the frame to get within 51-45 at the break.

Ahead 57-50 with over 7 1/2 minutes remaining in the third, San Antonio ripped off seven consecutive points to build a 64-50 margin on Duncan's jumper with less than five minutes left.

Game Notes

The Spurs have beat the Pacers six straight times...San Antonio outrebounded Indiana, 56-47.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
