Paris, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Roger Federer began defense of his French
Open title with a straight-set win on the second day of play at Roland Garros.
The top-seeded Federer cruised to a 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 first-round victory over

won the Australian Open earlier this year.
Other early winners on Monday included Americans John Isner and Taylor Dent,
15th-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic and 20th-seeded Stanislas
Wawrinka of Switzerland.
Isner, seeded 17th, topped Kazakhstan's Andrey Golubev, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2, while
Dent also moved on with a straight-set win over Ecuador's Nicolas Lapentti.
Berdych won a first-set tiebreaker and dropped just four games afterward
against Chilean qualifier Jorge Aguilar and Wawrinka lost just seven games in
a rout of Czech Jan Hajek.
Also scheduled for play Monday are third-seeded Serb Novak Djokovic and
Scotland's Andy Murray. The fourth-seeded Murray has a difficult opener
against former top-10 player Richard Gasquet of France. Gasquet is coming off

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.
