03/13/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - There are quite a few rivalries in the NBA but don't count the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers among them.
A rivalry generally contains a little give-and-take or back-and-forth. When the Spurs and Clippers get together, it's as one-sided as it gets. San Antonio shoots for its 16th straight win in the series tonight when they play host to the Clips in the Alamo City.
LA hasn't beaten the Spurs since a 91-83 triumph in Hollywood on Dec. 1, 2003 and has lost 23 of the past 24 games in the series, including 14 consecutive in San Antonio.
In fact, the Clippers' 15-game skid against San Antonio is the league's longest current drought against a single opponent and LA has never won in the AT&T Center.
The Spurs, who currently stand seventh in the Western Conference standings, continued their march to the postseason last night with a 103-85 rout in Minneapolis. Richard Jefferson and George Hill each scored 19 points in that one as San Antonio beat Minnesota for the 11th straight time.
Tim Duncan posted 15 points and eight rebounds for the Spurs, who won for the fifth time in six games.
Jefferson had nine boards and Hill dished out eight assists for San Antonio, which hasn't lost to the Timberwolves since January 3, 2007. Hill started in place again for Tony Parker, who sat out his third straight contest with a broken right ring finger.
"We know he's a very capable scorer," San Antonio guard Manu Ginobili said of Hill. "We've been doing it behind Tony a lot of games. Now he's taking over, playing more minutes. He's playing with more confidence."
The Clippers, meanwhile, dropped their sixth straight game in Charlotte on Friday after Stephen Jackson poured in 14 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter while dishing out six assists, as the Bobcats continued their stellar play at home with a 106-98 victory over Los Angeles.
Baron Davis finished with 24 points, seven assists and five steals for the Clippers, who have dropped nine straight on the road to fall to 7-27 as the guest this season.
"We couldn't get stops, turnovers," said Davis. "We just have to play better together that's all. On the defensive end and the offensive end."
Rasual Butler chipped in 18 points, while Travis Outlaw and Drew Gooden each tallied 16 points. Chris Kaman added 13 points and 11 boards for Los Angeles.

The most popular sports to bet on are NFL and college football along with NBA and NCAA basketball. There are multiple betting opportunities within those sports, beginning with the basic wager on a game’s outcome (also called betting the side). College Football Point spreads are used in both football and basketball in an attempt to even the attractiveness of each team in a match-up. ( See our article detailing how and why point spreads are made)
But you could also simply bet on the money line, or straight-up winner of the game. Oddsmakers use the money line so that more money must be risked on the favorite or expected winner and less money on the underdog to balance the action on both sides. While money line gambling is an attractive option for football and basketball bettors who only care about picking a winner, it is the primary option for those bettors who enjoy wagering on MLB baseball and individual sports like boxing, tennis, golf and racing events such as NASCAR. ( More details on playing the Money Line)
Another bet across all major team sports including football, basketball, baseball, and hockey involves wagering on the amount of scoring in a game, called an Over/Under total. For example, the Over/Under total on Super Bowl XXXIX was 48, which means a bettor could wager whether there would be more or less than 48 points scored by both teams combined in the game.
The final score of Super Bowl XXXIX was 24-21; the scoring of both teams added up to 45, which means the game went Under . So Under bettors won, and Over bettors lost.
Sports gambling doesn’t end there. Betting sides and totals are the most common wagers available everywhere, but many sportsbooks also offer future bets on big upcoming events like who will win next year’s Super Bowl and what movie will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
The main advantage of futures is that you can get appealing odds by betting far in advance. For example, with NFL futures you often can get much higher odds on a team by betting before the season even starts. A NFL future bet on a team to win the Super Bowl odds might be 20/1 in the preseason; but by midseason, their odds might decrease to 10/1 if they turn out to be legitimate championship contenders.
Involves one individual wager, whether it be on your team to cover the point spread, to win the game straight-up on the money line, or to go over/under the total.
