02/09/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Bucks hope to finish a brief two-game homestand in perfect fashion Tuesday, when they welcome the Central Division- rival Detroit Pistons to the Bradley Center.
The Bucks won for the fifth time in six games on Saturday, when Andrew Bogut finished with 21 points and eight rebounds in Milwaukee's 93-81 win over the Indiana Pacers.
Luc Mbah a Moute added 18 points and 11 boards for the Bucks, who have won seven straight on their home floor and now sport a 16-7 mark in Brew City. Carlos Delfino and Jerry Stackhouse scored 16 and 14 points, respectively.
"There was a little bit of a cushion for us," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "It was their smalls against our smalls and we were fortunate enough to get it (the win)."
Milwaukee, which finished last in the Central in each of the previous three seasons, is now just percentage points behind Miami for the eighth and final spot in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt.
The Pistons, meanwhile, have taken up residence in the Central's cellar this season, but are coming off a home win over lowly New Jersey on Saturday. Jonas Jerebko scored 20 points in a perfect 9-of-9 performance from the field, while also pulling down seven rebounds as Detroit earned a 99-92 victory over the Nets.
Richard Hamilton poured in 17 points and Rodney Stuckey contributed 10 points and 11 assists for the Pistons, who have won two of three since a five-game skid. However, both wins came over the hapless Nets sandwiched around a blowout loss to Indiana.
"I thought we did a great job sharing the ball," Pistons guard Will Bynum said after topping New Jersey. "Most of all, we made shots tonight. That's the key."
These two teams have spilt a pair of meetings this season, with each holding serve on its home floor. The Bucks, meanwhile, will be aiming to win eight straight as the host for the first time since a 10-game spurt from December 10, 2003-January 15, 2004.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
