Nets aim to snap road funk in Washington
Basketball Betting Lines
04/04/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New Jersey Nets will try to put the brakes on a six-
game road losing streak tonight, when they open a quick road trip against the
Washington Wizards at the Verizon Center.
New Jersey will also visit Milwaukee and is 4-33 away from the Meadowlands
this season. It just went 2-1 on a three-game homestand and won for the fourth
time in six tries overall with Saturday's 115-87 drubbing of the New Orleans Hornets at the IZOD Center.
Chris Douglas-Roberts scored 17 points, Terrence Williams had 14 with a
career-best 14 assists and Keyon Dooling added 13 points for the Nets, who got
12 points apiece from Brook Lopez and Josh Boone.
"It was a real team effort," said Nets head coach Kiki Vandeweghe. "The
starters came out and really supported the bench guys. We got very aggressive
on the defensive end and that changed the game for us."
Meanwhile, the Wizards are also aiming for ping pong balls in the upcoming NBA
Lottery Draft and will resume a three-game homestand Easter Sunday. They have
lost nine in a row at home and opened the residency with a 95-87 setback to
the Chicago Bulls on Friday in DC.
Andray Blatche finished with 18 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists, while
Mike Miller added 15 points, seven assists and five boards in the loss,
Washington's 17th in its last 18 tries. Miller is averaging 16.0 points, 7.6
rebounds and 4.8 assists in his last five games.
"It's frustrating when you lose games like this," said Wizards coach Flip
Saunders. "It's frustrating when your guys play hard and are right there and
play so hard and have nothing to show for it, from a standpoint of wins and
losses."
The Wizards, who snapped their franchise-record 16-game losing streak with a
96-91 victory over New Orleans on Wednesday, will also host Golden State and
are 12-25 at home.
With a win tonight over New Jersey, Washington will sweep the season series
from the Nets for the first time since the 1987-88 campaign (6-0). It has won
the first three meetings of 2009-10 and four in a row overall. Blatche is
averaging 26.7 points in three games versus the Nets this season.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams
NFL Betting
It’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. NFL Wagering
