Magic rout Knicks

Basketball Betting Lines

04/09/2010 - Orlando, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Vince Carter and Dwight Howard each poured in 25 points, and the Orlando Magic handled the New York Knicks, 118-103, at Amway Arena.

Howard added 13 rebounds for his league-leading 61st double-double of the season, as the Magic won for the 17th time in 20 games. Ryan Anderson added 19 points, while J.J. Redick and Jameer Nelson had 15 and 13 points, respectively, in the win.

While Orlando has locked up the second seed in the East, it is competing with the Lakers for the second overall best record going into the NBA playoffs. The Magic, who came into the game tied with the Lakers, would lose the tiebreaker due to opposing conference record.

Danilo Gallinari scored 28 points to lead the Knicks, who have lost seven of eight on the road. Chris Duhon and Sergio Rodriguez each had 13, while Toney Douglas added 12 points in defeat.

The Magic led, 10-9, early and scored the following 12 points to take control, as Carter nailed two threes during the stretch for a 22-9 advantage. New York battled back to get to within five, but Orlando scored the last nine points of the period, with a Nelson jumper providing a 35-21 lead.

The two teams played even in the second quarter, and the hosts took a 62-48 lead into the locker room at halftime.

Orlando used an 8-1 burst beginning the third to grab a 70-49 cushion on a Howard basket, and the Magic led by as many as 24 in the frame. The Knicks, however, closed the stanza on a 15-5 burst to close to within 90-79 entering the fourth.

The visitors didn't get closer than eight in the final quarter, at 92-84 after a David Lee layup in the early moments. Mickael Pietrus drained a three moments later to push Orlando's lead back to 97-84, and the Magic led by double-digits the rest of the way.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.

Be sure to log on to MySportsbook.com to check out the complete odds for NFL MVP as well as all of the new football related futures. With the popularity of NFL futures, these betting lines will be sure to change as the money comes in; get the early sports lines now.
