Pistons visit Central Division-rival MilwaukeeBasketball Betting Lines02/20/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Central Division-leading Detroit Pistons try to get back on the winning track tonight when they hit the road to visit the Milwaukee Bucks at the Bradley Center. Detroit had its seven-game winning streak halted with last Wednesday's 90-81 setback to the San Antonio Spurs in the finale of a five-game homestand. Richard Hamilton scored 20 points and Chauncey Billups posted 19 with seven rebounds and six assists for the Pistons, who went 4-1 on the homestand. Chris Webber finished with 14 points, Rasheed Wallace had 13 and Lindsey Hunger contributed 11 points in defeat. The Pistons will now work on their 15-9 road record this season. In Sunday's All-Star Game, Hamilton had eight points and six rebounds, while Billups added eight points and six assists in a losing effort for the East. Hamilton is probable for Tuesday's game with a sprained right ring finger. Milwaukee, meanwhile, is still struggling and dropped its fourth straight game after last Wednesday's 117-97 loss against the Boston Celtics at TD Banknorth Garden. Boston finally ended its franchise-worst 18-game losing streak. Mo Williams scored 31 points, Charlie Bell had 24 and Brian Skinner scored 13 points with 11 rebounds for Milwaukee, which is last in the Central standings and 11-11 at the Bradley Center this season. The Bucks have dropped 14 of the last 16 overall contests. On the injury front, Milwaukee forward Charlie Villanueva (ankle) and guard Michael Redd (knee) are expected to return sometime this week. Both are questionable for Tuesday's game. Milwaukee is just 3-17 without Redd in the lineup. Tuesday's showdown at the Bradley Center is the third of four matchups this season between Detroit and Milwaukee. Both squads have one win apiece in the series, while Detroit has won eight of 12 and nine of the last 14 meetings. The Bucks and Pistons will meet again on March 25 at the Bradley Center. Detroit has lost three of four and six of its last eight trips to Milwaukee.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich. The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
