Hawks try and cure road woes in Auburn Hills vs. PistonsBasketball Betting Lines04/07/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Hawks have been stumbling as the visitor lately and will try to stop a five-game road losing streak tonight against the Detroit Pistons at The Palace of Auburn Hills. Atlanta continued to struggle on enemy territory and suffered a 109-100 loss at Charlotte last night. With Joe Johnson (sprained right thumb) and Mike Bibby (ingrown toenail) on the bench due to injury, Maurice Evans tallied a team-high 20 points and Al Horford added 16 and 12 rebounds for the Hawks, who are third in the Eastern Conference, just a game ahead of Boston. "It was tough. You just have to play with what you've got," Horford said. "Everybody goes through adversity, and we're going through it right now, but we'll bounce back from it." Jamal Crawford and Josh Smith each had 18 points in defeat. Due to the Hawks' loss, the Orlando Magic clinched their third straight Southeast Division title. On the injury front for Atlanta, Johnson and Bibby are questionable for this evening's bout in the Motor City. Detroit finally put the brakes on an 11-game slide with last night's convincing 124-103 triumph at Philadelphia. Charlie Villanueva and Rodney Stuckey scored 25 and 24 points, respectively, for the Pistons, who also ended an 11-game losing streak on the road. "I thought Charlie played the way I know he is capable of," Pistons head coach John Kuester said. "Rodney Stuckey had some gutsy performances. Rodney Stuckey again, Will Bynum, Ben Wallace and Jonas (Jerebko) all played pretty much the entire game because they are all so valuable to us. Even though DaJuan Summers didn't play a lot of minutes, I still like what I saw." Ben Wallace added a season-high 18 points, while Tayshaun Prince finished with 14 points and seven rebounds. Ben Gordon chipped in 13 points off the bench in a winning effort. The Pistons will now try to put the clamps on a five-game home losing streak. Pistons guard Richard Hamilton (ankle) and center Jason Maxiell (back) both missed Tuesday's win and are questionable for this evening. Atlanta has won two of three meetings with Detroit this season, but the Pistons are 13-7 in the previous 20 matchups between the clubs. The Hawks have lost eight of nine and 18 of their past 21 visits to The Palace.

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. Here are the football odds as seen at MySportsbook.com and subject to change after February 10, 2007 if not locked in prior to that date.
