James, Cavs invade Charlotte to take on BobcatsBasketball Betting Lines11/27/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Charlotte Bobcats have the unenviable task of slowing down the Cleveland Cavaliers this evening when LeBron James and company invade Time Warner Cable Arena. Cleveland enters tonight's tilt having won three straight and eight of its last nine following a victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. James led the way in that one, as he poured in a game-high 34 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and dished out seven assists. Mo Williams added 14 points and eight assists in the win, while Anthony Parker and Daniel Gibson each chipped in 13 points. "We got solid production from our bench which was good and then 'Bron was 'Bron," said Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown. "He shoots 50 percent from the field and gets almost a triple-double again. For a guy as talented as he is, it seems so ordinary." However, James, who is averaging 34.2 points over his last five games, endured his lowest scoring game of the season against the Bobcats back on October 31 when he netted just 14 in the his team's 90-79 win. It was the only time this season he was held to under 20 points. Cleveland, which will return home for the next three games, is 6-2 away from home this season. Charlotte, meanwhile, also enters with a modest two-game winning streak after a pair of impressive wins over the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors. The Bobcats destroyed Toronto on Wednesday, as Gerald Wallace poured in a season- high 31 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, helping Charlotte to a 116-81 triumph. The 35-point win was the largest margin of victory in franchise history. Stephen Jackson added 23 points and six assists for the Bobcats, whose win streak comes on the heels of a seven-game skid. Jackson and Wallace combined to shoot 18-of-20 from the foul line. Charlotte, which will head to Washington to face the Wizards on Saturday, is 5-2 at home this season. Including the win earlier in the year, Cleveland is an incredible 16-3 all- time versus the Bobcats. The Cavs have also won the last seven in the series and is 6-3 in Charlotte.

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.
