LA aims to clip visiting Sonics

Basketball Betting Lines

02/28/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Clippers try to make it three wins in a row, as they welcome the Seattle SuperSonics tonight to the Staples Center.

This is the first of a home-and-home set between the clubs. The SuperSonics will host the Clippers on Thursday at KeyArena.

LA plays the finale of a five-game homestand. It is 2-2 on the stand. Corey Maggette ended with 25 points, as the Clippers topped the Charlotte Bobcats, 100-93, at the Staples Center in a game marred by an ugly knee injury to Los Angeles guard Shaun Livingston.

Livingston completely dislocated his left knee while driving for a layup with 8:10 left in the opening quarter. He landed awkwardly on his left knee, which bent backwards with the kneecap protruding to the side. Livingston, who is averaging 9.3 points and 5.1 assists per game, remained on the floor for a few minutes before being put on a stretcher and wheeled off the court. He is expected to miss the remainder of the season.

Veteran Sam Cassell finished with 14 points in the win over Charlotte for the Clippers, while Tim Thomas netted 12 in the victory.

The Clippers are 19-10 as the host this season.

Seattle attempts to win back-to-back games. Rashard Lewis scored 29 points and grabbed seven rebounds as the SuperSonics routed the Portland Trail Blazers, 97-73, at KeyArena.

All-Star Ray Allen added 16 points, 10 rebounds and six assists in the win over the Trail Blazers for Seattle, which snapped a two-game losing streak. Chris Wilcox and Damien Wilkins scored 10 apiece for the SuperSonics, who won their third straight home game.

The SuperSonics are just 6-21 on the road this season. They have dropped two in a row as the visitor.

This is the third meeting of the campaign between the squads. The teams split the first two contests.

Seattle has won two straight after losing its last three at the Clippers.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
