Hornish takes Phoenix, Stenhouse Jr. widens points leadAutoracing Betting Lines11/12/2011 - Avondale, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former IndyCar champion Sam Hornish Jr. won a NASCAR national touring series race for the first time by prevailing in Saturday's crash-filled Wypall 200 Nationwide Series event at Phoenix International Raceway. Hornish, who is running a partial Nationwide schedule for Penske Racing this season, took the lead from Ricky Stenhouse Jr. after a restart on lap 140. He then held off his teammate Brad Keselowski in three more late-race restarts before beating Keselowski at the finish by a half-second for his first win in his 32nd Nationwide start. Stenhouse's fifth-place finish allowed him to take a 41-point lead over Elliott Sadler with only one race to go -- next Saturday at Homestead, FL. Sadler's hopes of winning the championship in NASCAR's second-tier series essentially came to an end after he was involved in a five-car accident with 24 laps to go, leading to his 27th-place finish. He entered the penultimate race 17 points behind Stenhouse. All seven cautions in the 200-lap race were caused by accidents on the newly repaved and reconfigured one-mile track. Carl Edwards finished third, while Joey Logano took the fourth spot.

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.
