Houston hopes to start streak vs. expansion UnionSoccer Betting Lines05/27/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Dynamo host the expansion Philadelphia Union on Saturday night in Major League Soccer action at Robertson Stadium. The Dynamo (5-4-1) will be gunning for their first winning streak of the season after alternating wins and losses since April 1. The club is coming off a 2-0 win over D.C. United last weekend. "We needed that win," Houston's Danny Cruz told mlssoccer.com after the win. "It was real important to get those three points and jump hopefully back up the table, depending on other results. I Cruz, a 20-year-old, scored his first MLS goal in the win, which was also his first MLS start. "It was important to me, obviously, to come out and hopefully show that I can play with everybody," he said. "It was a team effort, obviously, and the three points are huge." "I'm proud of him, and it's good to see," Houston veteran defender Eddie Robinson told mlssoccer.com of Cruz. "Danny did what Danny does every day. He works harder than anybody on the field and he picks up things and he learns every single day. It's great to see, and he certainly deserves it. He deserved to be out there. He earned it, and he deserved to score a goal." The Union (1-5-1) has its hands full on Saturday against what forward Alejandro Moreno describes as one of the class team's in the league. "[We will face] a lot of fight and a lot of tactical discipline," he told mlssoccer.com. "They are a team that's going to be organized and physical and [will] disrupt the rhythm on the field. It's a group of guys that have been together for a while and that have been successful in this league for a while." The Union will be trying to earn its first win in its last six league fixtures, although it snapped a four-game losing streak with a draw vs. Dallas on May 15 in its last MLS match. Philly is relatively healthy after two-week break in action. Defender Toni Stahl is the only name on the injury report, and he is expected to be available. The Dynamo's only injury is to central midfielder Geoff Cameron, who will not play on Saturday.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season. In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
