T-Wolves make a stop in Dallas
Basketball Betting Lines
02/05/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Minnesota Timberwolves shoot for a season-high third
straight win tonight when they visit north Texas to face the Southwest
Division-leading Dallas Mavericks.
Earning that third straight win doesn't figure to be easy for the Wolves, who
have dropped 13 straight contests to the Mavs, including seven consecutive in
Big D.
The Wolves are just 3-21 away from Minneapolis this season and allow a league-
worst 112.1 points per game as the visitor.
Most recently, Kevin Love had a career-high 25 points to go with 11 rebounds
on Sunday as Minnesota crushed the New York Knicks, 112-91, at Target Center.
Al Jefferson added 22 points and 11 boards for the T'Wolves, who have won the
two in a row following a five-game losing streak. Ryan Hollins contributed
with 16 points, and Damien Wilkins had 11 in the win.
Ryan Gomes provided 10 points for Minnesota, which made half its field goal
attempts (42-of-84) en route to winning back-to-back games for just the second
time this season.
"We had to fight back, and we didn't come ready to play from the beginning,"
Gomes said. "We missed some shots early on, and they leaked out and got some
transition points."
The Mavs, meanwhile, got back on the winning track Wednesday when Jason Terry
and Josh Howard scored 21 and 19 points, respectively, to pace Dallas to a
110-101 victory over the struggling Golden State Warriors.
Dirk Nowitzki added 20 points while grabbing seven rebounds, and Shawn Marion
added 18 and nine for the Mavericks, who put a halt to their three-game slide
and keep a 2 1/2 game edge over San Antonio in the Southwest. Jason Kidd
played facilitator with 16 assists and six steals for the Mavs, who received a
16-point effort off the bench from Drew Gooden.
Golden State dropped its seventh straight game despite a career-high 46-point
performance from Monta Ellis, who shot a scorching 17-of-23 from the field.
"We found a way to grind it out and get a win," said Nowitzki, who played the
fourth quarter with a wrap on his hand after taking a hard foul from Ellis in
the third quarter.
Dallas, which hasn't lost to the Timberwolves since Jan. 4, 2006, can match
the NBA's longest active win streak against an opponent on Friday.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
