Basketball Betting Lines

The remainder of the first quarter saw four ties and the lead change hands twice before Bynum's putback gave the Lakers a 24-21 lead entering the second quarter.

 

Philadelphia, though, responded with three-pointers by Iguodala and Jodie Meeks around Gasol making the back end of two free throws to close the gap to four and Los Angeles held a 50-46 lead at the break.

 

Los Angeles battled back to take a one-point lead in the final minute of the quarter, but Thaddeus Young's jumper gave Philadelphia a 70-69 edge entering the final stanza.

 

Newark, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bulls shot 55.6 percent from the floor, made nine three-pointers and went 19-of-23 from the foul line en route to an easy 108-87 win over the New Jersey Nets on Monday night. But it was not all pretty for the Bulls, who lost star guard Derrick Rose in the second quarter to lower back spasms. Rose had just four points in nearly 11 minutes of action before leaving.

 

Deron Williams ended with 25 points and five assists for the Nets, who have lost three in a row. Sundiata Gaines and Jordan Farmar donated 12 and 11 points, respectively.

 

New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Knicks star forward Carmelo Anthony suffered a strained right groin in Monday's game against the Utah Jazz and will not return. He suffered the injury near the midpoint of the first quarter as he was running down the court on a fastbreak. After throwing a pass to teammate Tyson Chandler for an alley-oop dunk, Anthony limped down the other end and grabbed his groin.

 

New Orleans, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - DeMarcus Cousins had a double-double with a season-high 28 points to go with 19 rebounds to lead the Sacramento Kings over the New Orleans Hornets, 100-92, at New Orleans Arena on Monday. Tyreke Evans contributed 20 points and rookie Isaiah Thomas added 17 off the bench as the Kings won their third straight game.

 

New Orleans had five players in double figures led by Greivis Vasquez, who had 20 points and nine assists. Emeka Okafor had 19 points and Chris Kaman added a 10 point, 12 rebound double-double in his first game since January 23 for a Hornets team that has dropped six straight and 15 of 16.

 

After an Evans layup made it 80-80 with 6:44 left in the game, and the Kings outscored the Hornets 20-12 down the stretch to complete the comeback victory.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
