James For Saunders Stretch

Basketball Betting Lines

The Kansas product was acquired by the Hornets on January 4 as part of a three-team trade involving the Grizzlies and 76ers.

 

The former Maryland standout was dealt to New Orleans in December.

 

The Wizards were just 51-130 under Saunders. The team won only 19 games the year before Saunders arrived and improved to 26-56 in 2009-10, but finished just 23-59 in 2010-11 before this season's abysmal start.

 

Saunders has also been the head coach at Minnesota and Detroit, and owns a career record of 638-526.

 

Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Charlotte Bobcats guard D.J. Augustin will miss four games due to an inflammatory condition of the sesmoid bones that lie in the flexor tendons on his right big toe. Augustin was seen by Charlotte orthopedist Dr. Bob Anderson on Tuesday.

 

Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng will miss time with a torn ligament in his left wrist. Deng suffered the injury late in Saturday's game against the Bobcats. Team officials confirmed the injury on Tuesday.

 

In 18 games this season, Deng has averaged 15.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists.

 

James, the 24th overall pick in the 2010 draft, started the first seven games of this season, averaging 4.9 points and 4.7 rebounds, before re- aggravating the injury.

 

Memphis, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Memphis Grizzlies exercised the third-year contract option on swingman Quincy Pondexter Tuesday, keeping him on the team through the 2012-13 season. Pondexter has appeared in 16 games for Memphis this season, averaging 4.4 points and 2.1 rebounds in 14.9 minutes a game.

 

Love, who has registered a double-double in 16 of 17 games this season, would become a restricted free agent if the sides don't complete a deal before an 11 p.m. deadline.

 

Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Bosh scored a season-high 35 points and the Miami Heat won another game without Dwyane Wade, holding off the Cleveland Cavaliers, 92-85, on Tuesday. The Heat went 4-1 on a five-game homestand, playing each game without Wade as he deals with a sprained right ankle. They are 7-1 without the All-Star guard in the lineup this season.

 

Rookie Kyrie Irving kept Cleveland close down the stretch and finished with 17 points while Samardo Samuels scored 15 off the bench. But the Cavs fell to 1-4 against the Heat since James left to play for them before last season.

 

Danny Granger and Roy Hibbert had 16 points apiece for the Pacers, who suffered their first home loss of the season.

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.
