(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Heat close out a brief two-game road trip tonight
when they take on the Southeast Division-rival Washington Wizards at the
Verizon Center.
Miami has dropped three of its last four games, including Monday's 99-93 loss
to the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Shaquille O'Neal ended with
20 points for Miami, which is 11-19 as the visitor this season. Jason Kapono
added 24 points in the losing effort.
After Wednesday's game in D.C., the Heat will open a six-game homestand versus
Detroit, Atlanta, Chicago, Minnesota, Washington and Utah.
In injury news, the Heat are 1-2 since star guard Dwyane Wade went down with a
dislocated left shoulder against Houston on February 21. They are 2-8 overall
this season without the former Marquette star in the lineup.
The Wizards, who own a 4 1/2-game lead over both Orlando and Miami in the
standings, have lost three straight and suffered a 113-101 setback to the New Jersey Nets on Tuesday in the finale of a three-game road trip at Continental
Airlines Arena.
Gilbert Arenas had 26 points and Jarvis Hayes added 21 with nine boards for
the Wizards, who will open a four-game homestand this evening. Washington will
host Miami, Atlanta, Golden State and Toronto, and owns a 21-7 record at the
Verizon Center this season.
Wednesday's showdown between Miami and Washington is the second of four
matchups this regular season. The Wizards won the first encounter, 106-95, on
December 15 at the Verizon Center. Both teams will meet again on March 11 and
April 11 this season.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:
Saints +6 @ Colts -6
Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)
Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)
Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5
