Basketball Betting Lines

11/10/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Home has been sweet so far this season for the Orlando Magic, who will shoot for their fifth straight win tonight versus the Portland Trail Blazers at Amway Arena.

Orlando opened the 2008-09 campaign with consecutive losses, then won the first four games of a five-game homestand. In Saturday's 106-81 victory over the winless Washington Wizards, Dwight Howard scored 31 points on 11-of-13 shooting and pulled down 16 rebounds to lead the way. Howard also finished with three blocked shots.

Mickael Pietrus had 18 points, Keith Bogans 13 and Hedo Turkoglu scored 11 points for Orlando. After Monday's game versus the Blazers, the Magic will hit the road for three games at Oklahoma City, Dallas and Charlotte.

Portland will begin a five-game road trip tonight against Orlando, Miami, New Orleans, Minnesota and Golden State. After losing its first two games of this month, Portland has bounced back with consecutive victories, including Saturday's 97-93 triumph over the Timberwolves at the Rose Garden.

Brandon Roy scored 24 points, including the go-ahead jumper with 31.9 seconds left, and handed out nine assists. LaMarcus Aldridge had 24 points and 13 rebounds for Portland, which improved to 3-3 on the season.

Travis Outlaw and Rudy Fernandez each scored 11 points for the Blazers.

Orlando won both meetings with Portland a year ago and has won four straight and six of the last seven matchups in this series.

Portland has lost three straight after winning its last six at Orlando.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
