Basketball Betting Lines

11/08/2008 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points, grabbed eight rebounds, added six assists and made several key free throws to help give the Denver Nuggets a 108-105 win over the Dallas Mavericks.

Chauncey Billups scored 15 points in his Nuggets debut. He was dealt to Denver, along with Antonio McDyess and Cheikh Samb, in a Monday trade that sent Allen Iverson to Detroit. They did not dress for Wednesday's matchup with Golden State because Billups did not take a physical in time.

Nene finished with 19 points and seven rebounds, and made a key steal late in the game for the Nuggets, who had lost two in a row. J.R. Smith scored 15 points off the bench for Denver, while Linas Kleiza had 14 points.

Jason Kidd had 22 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists for Dallas, which has lost three of five to open the season. Dirk Nowitzki finished with 23 points and 10 boards in the loss, while Brandon Bass had the Mavs' third double- double with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

In a back-and-forth game down the stretch, Nowitzki made a pair of free throws with 2:06 left to draw Dallas within 101-100. But Anthony responded with a pair of his own with 1 1/2 minutes left.

The same players each missed their next shots, keeping Denver's lead at 103-100 as the clock ran under a minute. With a little less than half a minute left, Bass came up with a block on Billups' short jumper, giving Dallas a shot to tie.

Kidd drove through the lane for a finger-roll layup with 21.6 seconds left, and was fouled on the play. However, he missed the free throw as Kenyon Martin grabbed the rebound.

Billups was fouled after a timeout, but made just 1-of-2 to give Denver a 104-102 lead with 17.5 seconds left. But Bass, dribbling above the three-point line, had the ball swiped away by Nene.

Anthony was fouled, and made both free throws. Still, Jason Terry drained a three-pointer to bring Dallas within 106-105 with 1.1 ticks left. The Mavs fouled Anthony once more with 0.4 on the clock, and he sank both.

Gerald Green missed a three-pointer from the right wing at the buzzer to seal the Nuggets' win.

Denver held a 26-25 lead after one quarter, but Dallas came back to take a 49-48 edge at halftime. The Nuggets built up a 79-72 lead after three quarters, and led 82-72 after Smith's layup just over a minute into the fourth. But Dallas rattled off the next seven points to draw within 82-79 with 9:30 left, and the game was close to the end.
