Stockton and Gates lead Edmonton OpenGolf Betting Lines07/02/2009 - Edmonton, AB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brady Stockton and Robert Gates both fired rounds of seven-under 65 on Thursday to share the first-round lead of the Edmonton Open. Liam Kendregan and Jon Turcott both shot 66s in round one and are tied for third place at Glendale Golf and Country Club. Stockton began on the 10th tee and had an up and down opening nine. He recorded six birdies, two bogeys and a single par to make the turn at minus- four. He birdied the first, then grabbed his share of the lead with back-to-back birdies at Nos. 6 and 7. "The putter was working really well but I was doing a lot of scrambling," admitted Stockton. "It seems that every single time I found the fairway, I made birdie, but otherwise, I was scrambling. I seem to be well known for that." Gates had a calmer round than his fellow co-leader. He also began on 10 and bogeyed his first hole. Gates tallied three more birdies on his first nine and added five birdies on the second nine, including three in his last four holes. Last week's ATB Financial Classic winner Graham DeLaet, Garrett Sapp, George Coetzee, Brent Schwarzrock, Jim Rutledge, Danny Sahl and Eugene Smith are knotted in fifth at five-under 67. Defending champion John Ellis managed an even-par 72 and is part of a group tied for 70th place.

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.
