Foye helps Wizards clip NetsBasketball Betting Lines02/28/2010 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andray Blatche recorded a career night with 36 points, but it was Randy Foye's key jumpers in the final minute that lifted the Washington Wizards to an 89-85 victory over the New Jersey Nets. The Nets were coming off Saturday's win at Boston and looking to win consecutive games for the first time all season. The game was tied with just under a minute left, but Foye made a baseline jumper with 44.6 seconds left before connecting again with 13.5 to go as the Wizards denied the Nets the opportunity. Blatche connected on 17 of 31 shots, pulled down 15 rebounds and had four assists for the Wizards, while Foye finished with 16 points. Al Thornton added 20 points and eight boards in the victory, which snapped Washington's two-game slide. Yi Jianlian had 20 points and a career-high 19 boards to pace the Nets, who were looking for their seventh win of the season. Devin Harris had 18 points, 14 assists and seven boards in the loss, while Brook Lopez added 16 points and 10 rebounds. The Nets trailed by seven with just over five minutes to play, but used a nine-point run to move ahead. Terrence Williams fueled the rally with seven points, ending it on a dunk for an 81-79 edge. JaVale McGee evened the game with a layup with 2:54 to go before each team missed a series of shots. Blatche then drained a mid-range jumper from the right side with 1:33 on the clock, and on the Nets' ensuing possession, Yi was fouled as he went up for a dunk. However, he made just 1-of-2 to keep the Nets down by one. Yi made it back to the line with 58.8 seconds left and again only made one attempt, evening the score. But Foye delivered from the baseline on the Wizards' next touch, and after Harris missed a jumper, Foye drained another shot to make it a two-possession game. The Nets missed a number of shots at the other end, and Thornton sealed the win with a pair from the line. New Jersey led by as many as 14 points, doing so in the first quarter before the Wizards got within 31-24 moving to the second. The Nets stretched their lead back out, taking a 46-32 advantage on a Yi jumper. However, the Wizards closed the half on a 9-2 run to get within 50-44 at the break. Washington drew even in the third, as buckets from Blatche and Mike Miller made it a 57-57 contest. It remained tight the rest of the frame, and the Wizards held a 69-68 edge going to the fourth. Blatche's layup with 5:19 left in the game ended a six-point Washington burst for a 79-72 difference. Game Notes The Nets shot 35.2 percent, including a 3-of-14 performance from three-point range...Williams had 11 points for New Jersey...The Wizards shot 42.2 percent...Miller had nine points, eight boards and six assists for Washington.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday. Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine. El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year. MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle. New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele. Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change TeamsIt’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column. We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side. Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor. Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season. Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference. The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash. To visit this sportsbook go to MySportsbook.com for all your college football betting needs. |
