76ers welcome Thunder to town

Basketball Betting Lines

11/15/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia 76ers will shoot for a season high three straight wins this evening, when they welcome the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Wachovia Center.

After losing three in a row the Sixers have posted two consecutive victories, including Friday's 94-92 win over the Indiana Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse. Second-year forward Thaddeus Young scored a career-high 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead Philadelphia to consecutive wins for the first time this season.

Andre Miller scored 19 points and big man Elton Brand had 14 and 15 rebounds in a winning effort. Willie Green scored 14 points off the bench and Andre Iguodala ended with 10 points and 10 boards for the 76ers.

Oklahoma City is only 1-8 on the season and has dropped six in a row since the franchise's first win on November 2 versus Minnesota.

The Thunder dropped a 116-106 decision to the New York Knicks on Friday, as reigning Rookie of the Year Kevin Durant had 23 points to lead the way. Russell Westbrook chipped in 19 points and 10 boards off the bench while Robert Swift grabbed 13 rebounds in defeat.

Oklahoma City will close out a short two-game road trip in Philly and is 0-4 as the visitor this season. Thunder forward Chris Wilcox (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game.

The Sixers won both meetings with Seattle/Oklahoma City last year and have won four in a row overall in the series. Philadelphia is 3-0 in the past three matchups as the host.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
