Basketball Betting Lines

04/07/2010 - New Orleans, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New Orleans Hornets guard Chris Paul will miss the remainder of the season due to a ligament tear in his right middle finger.

The club announced prior to Wednesday's game against the Bobcats that Paul will be out for the team's final four contests. The injury doesn't require surgery and the timetable for his return to basketball activities is approximately seven weeks.

"It has been a very difficult season for me in terms of injuries," said Paul, who missed 25 games this season with a torn left meniscus. "I hate not being out on the court helping my team, but the best thing for me to do is to get completely healthy. I am hopeful to be back playing basketball by June."

In 45 games this season, the Wake Forest product averaged 18.7 points, 10.7 assists, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.1 steals.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
