Hawks-Bucks series shifts to Milwaukee for Game 3
Basketball Betting Lines
04/24/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Hawks will try and take a commanding 3-0 lead
in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals tonight when they visit the Milwaukee Bucks at Bradley Center.
Joe Johnson led the Hawks with 27 points on Tuesday, while Josh Smith and Al
Horford each posted a double-double to help Atlanta cruise to a 96-86 victory
over the Bucks in Game 2.
Smith just missed a triple-double with 21 points, 14 rebounds and nine
assists, and Horford added 20 points and 10 boards for Atlanta, which also won
the series opener at Philips Arena, 102-92, last Saturday.
Marvin Williams and Mike Bibby netted 11 and 10 points, respectively, for
the Hawks, who recorded 22 fastbreak points to Milwaukee's 10. Atlanta shot
47.5 percent from the floor and held Milwaukee to 4-of-24 shooting from three-
point range to win going away.
"I thought our defense was solid from beginning to the end," Atlanta head
coach Mike Woodson said. "That's what we're going to need to get out of this
series."
John Salmons had a team-high 21 points for the Bucks, who received 13 points
and 15 rebounds from Ersan Ilyasova and 15 points from fellow reserve Jerry
Stackhouse.
Rookie of the Year candidate Brandon Jennings, coming off a 34-point effort in
his postseason debut, was held to nine points on 3-of-15 shooting.
"Obviously we're having a lot of difficulty out there. Our preparation has
been very good, but we're having trouble taking it onto the floor," Bucks head
coach Scott Skiles said. "We knew it was going to be interesting to see how we
were going to react in this environment. So far they've outplayed us in almost
every spot up and down the floor."
Atlanta went 2-1 against Milwaukee in the regular season. The two clubs met
three times in the postseason back in the 1980s, with the Bucks taking two of
the sets in '83-84 and '88-89. The Hawks lone win came in the '87-88 season.
Game 4 of this set will be Monday in Milwaukee.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
