03/07/2010 - San Jose, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Evgeni Nabokov made 21 stops, and San Jose rallied in the third period to take a 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets at HP Pavilion.

Dany Heatley and Joe Pavelski each had a goal for the Sharks, who have won the past two games.

Andrew Murray scored the lone goal while Steve Mason made 42 stops for the Blue Jackets, who have dropped their past four games.

Columbus was holding a 1-0 lead in the third period when Antoine Vermette was called for hooking, and the San Jose power play went to work.

Joe Thornton had the puck at the right side, and he shoved it out front where Heatley one-timed it home at the 7:53 mark.

Shortly after Thornton almost gave the Sharks the lead, the team did take the lead, as several shots in front saw the puck come to the right side. Pavelski grabbed it, skated around behind the net and from the left side wristed it home with 4:40 to play.

After a scoreless first period, the Blue Jackets took a 1-0 lead just one minute into the second.

On the transition, R.J. Umberger skated down the right wing, made a move to get behind his defender and slid a backhand pass to the slot where Murray redirected it into the net.

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.
