Bucks visit Hawks for pivotal Game 5Basketball Betting Lines04/28/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Home cooking has been the story thus far in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals matchup between the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks as the teams prepare for a pivotal Game 5 in Dixie tonight. Each club has held serve of its home floor to this point. Carlos Delfino sank six shots from beyond the arc, on the way to a 22-point night on Monday, as Milwaukee pulled even with Atlanta with a 111-104 Game 4 triumph at the Bradley Center. Brandon Jennings scored 23 and John Salmons added 22 for the Bucks, who have won the last two games, also coming away with an 18-point win Saturday night. "I thought we had confidence the whole series, even though we were down two games to none," Jennings said. "We have to go into Atlanta and try to steal one. We're not a good playoff team until we win a game on the road." Milwaukee, in the playoffs for the first time since 2006, hasn't made it out of round one since 2001 when the Bucks lost to Philadelphia in the conference finals. Since then, they've lost three straight opening-round series. If they hope to halt that skid, the Bucks must find a way to steal a win in Atlanta. "We haven't played well there as we have in other buildings," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "That's what we need to do. Somehow we have to find a way to go there and get the game." Meanwhile, Monday's loss was the 17th in the last 18 road playoff games for the Hawks, who were led by Joe Johnson's 29 points. Jamal Crawford, who was named the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year on Tuesday, tallied 21 points and Josh Smith chipped in 20 and nine rebounds in defeat. "Our defense went the other way with the way we played at home," Hawks coach Mike Woodson said. "Somehow we have to get our defensive mojo back where we're defending and running up and down the floor." There was a bit of a scare for the Hawks earlier Monday when the team bus collided with a car shortly after a shootaround session. No one was injured, however. 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 6 of the best-of-seven set is scheduled for Friday in Milwaukee. The winner of this series will play Orlando, which completed a sweep of Charlotte Monday, in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet). For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win. TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures. Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
