03/09/2010 - Orlando, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dwight Howard was a force on the interior with 22 points and 15 rebounds, as the Clippers had no answer for the big man or the rest of the Magic in Orlando's 113-87 rout.
Jameer Nelson totaled 17 points with eight assists, Rashard Lewis chipped in with 15 points, Vince Carter contributed 13 points and Matt Barnes joined J.J. Redick in double figures with 10 points apiece for Orlando, which has won six straight.
Howard recorded his 51st double-double of the campaign as Orlando led by as many as 30 and only trailed briefly in the opening quarter.
Baron Davis led the Clippers with 16 points and nine assists off the bench, while Drew Gooden posted a double-double of 12 points and 14 rebounds, Chris Kaman notched 12 points and Steve Blake netted 11 with five assists.
The Clippers have lost four in a row overall, and put a stamp on their disappointing season by severing ties with general manager Mike Dunleavy Tuesday, just over a month after he resigned as head coach to focus exclusively on personnel matters.
Howard exerted his will in the opening 12 minutes, scoring 10 points with six rebounds as the Magic gained a double-digit advantage and control of the game. The Clippers' lone lead came at 2-1, and the Magic raced to a 15-8 edge on Howard's putback slam. Redick's 25-foot trey made the first-quarter margin 31-21.
The lead methodically grew to 15 and then 17 points at 53-36 on Carter's jumper with just over five minutes left in the half. The advantage hit 20 points at 61-41 on Howard's conventional three-point play, and grew to 26 points at 67-41 by quarter's end, as Los Angeles' last field goal came on a Rasual Butler three with 2:54 to play. Orlando scored the half's final 11 points capped by Nelson's jumper just prior to the horn.
Orlando's edge reached its highest margin of 30 points at 84-54 on Nelson's pull-up bucket with 4:35 remaining in the third and the lead stood at 91-68 heading to the fourth.
The Magic cruised to victory from there.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
