Celtics return home to face Wizards
Basketball Betting Lines
03/07/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Celtics will face another inferior foe from the
Eastern Conference tonight, when they return home to take on the Washington Wizards at TD Garden.
Boston battled back in Friday's 96-86 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, as
Rajon Rondo sparked the squad with 14 of his 16 points in the third quarter
and handed out 11 assists. Kevin Garnett had 22 points and Ray Allen finished
with 16 for the Celtics, who have won three straight despite getting just
seven points out of Paul Pierce.
"It's not about one player," Pierce said. "This is a team that's not centered
around one person scoring all the points."
The Atlantic Division-leading Celtics are third in the conference standings
and are expected to welcome a new member to the team Sunday. Boston signed
veteran swingman Michael Finley this weekend and he has averaged 15.9 points
per game in his 14-year career.
The Celtics are 17-11 in Beantown this season.
Washington has lost two straight and four of five games, including Friday's
102-74 setback versus the Milwaukee Bucks at the Verizon Center.
Andray Blatche and JaVale McGee each scored 13 points, and McGee added 11
rebounds for the Wizards, who got 12 points off the bench from Earl Boykins.
"We can't let one (loss) ruin the rest of your season," said Blatche, who is
averaging 24.1 points, 10.8 rebounds and shooting .541 percent from the field
in nine games since the All-Star break. "These kind of games happens to every
team in the league."
Boston has won the first two meetings with Washington this season and five
straight overall. Blatche is averaging 13.0 points and 4.0 steals in two games
versus the Celtics in 2009-10.

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
