02/20/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Central Division-leading Detroit Pistons try to get back on the winning track tonight when they hit the road to visit the Milwaukee Bucks at the Bradley Center.
Detroit had its seven-game winning streak halted with last Wednesday's 90-81 setback to the San Antonio Spurs in the finale of a five-game homestand. Richard Hamilton scored 20 points and Chauncey Billups posted 19 with seven rebounds and six assists for the Pistons, who went 4-1 on the homestand.
Chris Webber finished with 14 points, Rasheed Wallace had 13 and Lindsey Hunger contributed 11 points in defeat.
The Pistons will now work on their 15-9 road record this season.
In Sunday's All-Star Game, Hamilton had eight points and six rebounds, while Billups added eight points and six assists in a losing effort for the East. Hamilton is probable for Tuesday's game with a sprained right ring finger.
Milwaukee, meanwhile, is still struggling and dropped its fourth straight game after last Wednesday's 117-97 loss against the Boston Celtics at TD Banknorth Garden. Boston finally ended its franchise-worst 18-game losing streak.
Mo Williams scored 31 points, Charlie Bell had 24 and Brian Skinner scored 13 points with 11 rebounds for Milwaukee, which is last in the Central standings and 11-11 at the Bradley Center this season.
The Bucks have dropped 14 of the last 16 overall contests. On the injury front, Milwaukee forward Charlie Villanueva (ankle) and guard Michael Redd (knee) are expected to return sometime this week. Both are questionable for Tuesday's game. Milwaukee is just 3-17 without Redd in the lineup.
Tuesday's showdown at the Bradley Center is the third of four matchups this season between Detroit and Milwaukee. Both squads have one win apiece in the series, while Detroit has won eight of 12 and nine of the last 14 meetings. The Bucks and Pistons will meet again on March 25 at the Bradley Center.
Detroit has lost three of four and six of its last eight trips to Milwaukee.

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
