Bulls continue long trip in Milwaukee
Basketball Betting Lines
02/04/2012 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bulls are in the midst of a nine-game road trip
and will continue the lengthy trek tonight against the Central Division-rival
Milwaukee Bucks at the Bradley Center.
The Bulls improved to 2-2 thus far on the road swing following Thursday's
105-102 victory over the New York Knicks behind Derrick Rose, who scored 15 of
his 32 points in the fourth quarter and added 13 assists and four rebounds.
Rose was held to 18 points in a loss at Philadelphia the night before and has
now scored 30-plus points in four of his last five games, averaging 30.6 ppg
in that stretch. He had a season-best 35 points against Washington on Monday.
"I think the good teams in this league find ways to win games. Most nights if
you can be consistent with your defense it gives you a chance to win if you
are not shooting well. We were fortunate tonight because we were able to
score. We have to continue to improve our defense," Bulls head coach Tom
Thibodeau said.
Carlos Boozer and Kyle Korver scored 16 points apiece, while C.J. Watson
finished with 12 points and Joakim Noah added 10 and nine rebounds for Central
Division-leading Chicago, which improved to 10-5 as the guest and won for the
12th time in its last 16 tries. The Bulls shot 52.7 percent for the game and
were without forward Luol Deng (wrist) and guard Richard Hamilton
(groin/thigh). Both players are day-to-day.
Chicago leads the NBA in road wins with 10. Oklahoma City and Indiana are each
second with nine road victories.
The Bulls' nine-game road trip is the longest since the 1992-93 season, when
they went 6-3 on a nine-game trek. In 1974-75, Chicago played a team-record 11
straight games away from home (7-4). It will also make stops in New Jersey,
New Orleans, Charlotte and Boston.
Milwaukee is back at home after losing by an 88-80 score last night in Detroit
and will play back-to-back games in Brew City. It is 7-2 as the host and got
20 points from Brandon Jennings.
Shaun Livingston had 14 points and Ersan Ilyasova chipped in nine and 12
rebounds for the Bucks, who had won three in a row and six of eight games
before shooting 35.1 percent from the floor at The Palace.
"Well we were terrible in every aspect of the game," Bucks head coach Scott
Skiles said. "There's no reason to sugarcoat, our effort was awful; total lack
of focus and concentration."
The Bucks will try to extend their home winning streak to four games and will
also welcome the Phoenix Suns to the Bradley Center.
Milwaukee lost a 107-100 decision at Chicago on Jan. 27 this season, as Rose
poured in 34 points to lead the way. Jennings led Milwaukee with 25 points and
seven rebounds. The Bulls have won five straight and eight of the past 11
meetings between the teams. Since the 2003-04 season, Chicago has gone 23-10
against Milwaukee.
These two teams have split the last six meetings at the Bradley Center. In 13
career games against the Bucks, Rose is averaging 20.5 ppg. Jennings is
posting 13.0 points per game in seven career matchups with the Bulls.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.
Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.
According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).
Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.
''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.
Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.
''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''
Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.
”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
