Basketball Betting Lines

A dunk by Parsons widened the gap to 11 early in the third and the cushion reached 15 in the closing seconds of the period. A jumper from Henderson had the Bobcats within 71-66 with 3:36 remaining in the game, but Parson stemmed the tide by drilling a three-pointer and a jumper.

 

Bobcats forward Tyrus Thomas missed the game due to fatigue in his legs....Houston has won 10 of the last 12 meetings...Charlotte was 1-of-13 on three-point shots.

 

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Elton Brand scored a season-high 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the Philadelphia 76ers won their sixth straight game by routing the Sacramento Kings, 112-85. Jrue Holiday added 17 points, eight assists, six rebounds and four steals while Evan Turner had 16 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists for Philadelphia, which has outscored its opponents by 131 points during its winning streak. The Sixers haven't won six in a row since a seven-game run from Jan. 6-17, 2009.

 

The Sixers shot 60 percent in the first quarter and took a 26-22 advantage into the second. The depth of Philadelphia continued to pay huge dividends as its bench outscored Sacramento, 16-0, in the opening period. Thaddeus Young and Turner poured in six points apiece off the bench.

 

Brand and Meeks netted 10 points apiece in the third stanza and Philadelphia led 84-60 after three.

 

Game Notes

 

Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - After eight games, the Wizards finally put a win together and ended the worst start in franchise history. Washington took control in the second quarter and didn't look back, earning a 93-78 victory against the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday.

 

Nick Young and Rashard Lewis scored 15 points apiece for the Wizards, whose 0-8 start to the season included losses of every kind. They lost by 21 points to Milwaukee on December 30, were swept in a home-and-home by Boston, got routed in Orlando, and dropped a 99-96 decision against the Knicks last week after Carmelo Anthony hit a late three-pointer.

 

Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stephen Jackson finished with 34 points and assisted on Brandon Jennings' key basket in the final minute, as the Bucks held on for a 106-103 victory against the Spurs in Andrew Bogut's return. Jackson had eight assists while Jennings totaled 11, along with 15 points. Bogut had missed the last four games because of personal issues, but returned to post 14 points and 11 rebounds. The effort helped Milwaukee halt a five- game slide.

 

San Antonio carried an 81-79 edge into the fourth quarter and had a five-point lead when Kawhi Leonard sank a jumper with just under 10 minutes to play. However, the Bucks followed with a Drew Gooden layup, and Jackson made four free throws to put Milwaukee ahead 89-88.
