Basketball Betting Lines
02/22/2012 - Newark, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dwight Howard had 20 points and 17 rebounds, but the Orlando Magic may have made their biggest run of the game with him on the bench Wednesday night in a 108-91 win over the New Jersey Nets.
Orlando beat New Jersey for the ninth straight time mostly on the strength of a 24-12 run while Howard sat on the bench after getting in early foul trouble.
Glen Davis scored 12 of his 16 points during the surge, which gave the Magic a 20-point lead in the second quarter. Ryan Anderson had 14 points and nine rebounds and Orlando moved to 10-3 in February after ending January on a four- game losing streak.
The Magic have won 15 of their last 17 meetings with the Nets, who played without forward Kris Humphries in this one because of a strained calf. It was New Jersey's final game before the All-Star Break.
MarShon Brooks scored 24 points to lead the Nets, while Deron Williams added 23 points and eight assists. The Nets have lost 12 of their last 15 games.
The Magic shot 62.5 percent in the first quarter to take a 34-17 lead into the second.
Their 24-12 run spanned both quarters and came after Howard was whistled for his second foul with four minutes remaining in the first. Davis knocked down six buckets during the surge, which gave the Magic a 47-27 lead with under seven minutes left.
The advantage reached as high as 22 and Orlando carried a 58-41 lead into the break.
The Nets were within eight points briefly in the third quarter, but that's as close as it got. Howard led a 12-2 run after that to push Orlando's lead to 18 and it was 87-70 going into the fourth, where New Jersey was never closer than 13.

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.
