Report: Nowitzki likely heading for free agencyBasketball Betting Lines06/28/2010 - Dallas, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki will apparently opt out of the final year of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent, according to a report in the Dallas Morning News. The paper reported that the nine-time All-Star is unlikely to reach a long- term deal with the Mavericks and will exercise the early termination option in his contract by the deadline on Wednesday. If Nowitzki elects to go the free agency route, he will be leaving $21.5 million on the table for next season, but could still sign a new deal with Dallas in free agency. Nowitzki has been the face of the Mavericks since the club acquired him on draft day in 1998 after Milwaukee selected him with the ninth overall pick. The native of Germany posted averages of 25.0 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists while shooting 42.1 percent on threes and 91.5 percent from the free throw line in 81 games last year. Over 12 NBA seasons, spanning 920 games -- 895 starts -- the 7-footer has averaged 22.9 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

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.''
