Games Beats Sixers In Time

Basketball Betting Lines

After tonight's game the Raptors play three straight and 11 of 14 on the road.

 

Indiana, which beat Toronto earlier in the year, has won four of the last five meetings. The Pacers, though, have dropped eight of 10 in Toronto.

 

Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose is expected to return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Rose sprained his toe during the first quarter of Tuesday's 111-100 win at Minnesota. He wore a walking boot as a precaution during Friday morning's shootaround.

 

Rose, who was the youngest MVP in league history last year, is averaging 20.7 points, 8.6 assists and 3.4 rebounds in 11 games for the Bulls this season.

 

Chicago's Richard Hamilton (groin) and C.J. Watson (elbow) are not expected to play on Friday.

 

Sacramento, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Sacramento Kings added Hall of Famer Alex English to their coaching staff on Friday. English spent the last seven seasons as an assistant coach and director of player development with the Toronto Raptors.

 

Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Golden State Warriors waived guard Ish Smith on Friday. Smith played in six games this season with the Warriors and averaged 5.4 points along with 1.8 rebounds and assists in 12.6 minutes. He was awarded via a waiver claim on December 16 after being waived by Memphis.

 

The 23-year-old appeared in 43 games (three starts) last season -- his first in the league -- with Houston and Memphis, averaging 2.3 points, 1.8 assists and 1.1 rebounds in 10.3 minutes.

 

The Bobcats, losers of six straight, were led by Byron Mullens' 18 points. Kemba Walker added 16, while D.J. White and Tyrus Thomas both had 10.

 

Still, his production has done little to compensate for the Bobcats' defensive woes. They entered Friday allowing a league-worst 102.7 points per game and did little to thwart an offensively-challenged Detroit squad.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.

Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
