Basketball Betting Lines

04/29/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sacramento Kings point guard Tyreke Evans was named the NBA's Rookie of the Year on Thursday.

Selected with the fourth overall pick out of Memphis as a freshman, the 20- year-old Evans averaged 20.1 points, 5.8 assists and 5.3 rebounds in starting each of the 72 games in which he appeared.

"Congratulations to Tyreke," said Kings coach Paul Westphal. "It's something we felt right from the start he was capable of. He deserved it. He has this ability to inspire confidence. He's the most consistent rookie I've ever seen."

Evans became only the fourth first-year player to average over 20 points, five rebounds and five assists, joining a star-studded list comprised of Cavs superstar LeBron James and NBA Hall of Famers Michael Jordan and Oscar Robertson.

Evans shot 45.8 percent from the floor and added 1.5 steals per contest in averaging 37.2 minutes for a rebuilding Kings squad that ended the year 25-57 -- second from the bottom in the Western Conference.

The 6-foot-6 guard was the consensus National Freshman of the Year and a finalist for both the Wooden Award and the Oscar Robertson Trophy as a collegiate freshman. He led the Tigers in scoring with 17.1 points per game and set a school record for freshmen with 77 steals.

Evans finished with 67 of a possible 123 first-place votes and ended with 491 overall tallies.

Golden State's Stephen Curry finished second with 43 first-place votes and 391 total votes. The Davidson product averaged 17.5 points, 5.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 80 games.

Milwaukee's Brandon Jennings finished third, picking up 12 first-place votes and 204 overall. He finished the 2009-10 campaign averaging 15.5 points, 5.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds in all 82 games.

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.

MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:

Saints +6 @ Colts -6

Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)

Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)

Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5

Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1

Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3

Patriots -5 @ Jets +5

Eagles -3.5 @ Packers +3.5
