Nets, Wizards clash in Izod Center

Basketball Betting Lines

02/28/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New Jersey Nets haven't had a lot go their way this season but closing out February with back-to-back wins on consecutive days could be cause for celebration.

New Jersey will try and do exactly that by halting a franchise-record eight- game home losing streak tonight against the Washington Wizards.

The Nets are coming off heir most impressive performance of the season last night in Boston. Brook Lopez led the way with 25 points and Devin Harris scored 23 in that one, as New Jersey notched a 104-96 road win against the Celtics.

Courtney Lee added 21 points before leaving in the fourth quarter with a sprained left ankle, while Kris Humphries and Keyon Dooling logged valuable minutes off the bench, ending with 11 points each.

Humphries also grabbed 10 boards as the Nets used free throw shooting to pull off the win. Lopez and Harris combined to go 21-of-24 from the line, while New Jersey finished 34-of-41 overall. Boston, meanwhile, was 9-of-11 at the line.

New Jersey, which also notched just its the sixth win of the season, beat Boston for the first time since February 2007 to snap a 12-game skid in the series.

"It's not so much a difference between them, it's a difference between us. As we progress through our season we've definitely improved," said Lopez about the seemingly uneven matchup coming in. "Through the All-Star break...we've played very well against teams and we finally broke through tonight."

The Nets (6-52) are trying to avoid compiling the worst record in NBA history set by the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers, who went 9-73. They are winless (0-14) this season in the second half of back-to-back games, however.

The Wizards, meanwhile, are coming off a tough overtime loss to New York on Friday. David Lee's layup with 1.6 seconds remaining in the extra frame helped New York edge Washington, 118-116, and snap an eight-game losing streak in that one.

Washington center Andray Blatche totaled 26 points while setting career highs in rebounds (18) and assists (six). Randy Foye and JaVale McGee each recorded a double-double for the Wizards, who have dropped three of four.

Foye scored 22 points and dished out 10 assists, while McGee had a season-high 18 points and 10 boards to go along with five blocks.

"It's frustrating," Foye said. "You have to give New York a lot of credit though. They played hard and finished the game."

The Wizards have won three straight and four of their last five over New Jersey.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6  

The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.

Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com.  "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.

It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis.  It's like Week 1 of the NFL.  Pre-season means nada!

We do know the 24 finalists however.

Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24.  He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway.  He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien. 

Brandon Rogers - Who?

Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition.  He should go a good distance.

Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was.  And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition.  He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice!  People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way. 

"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks.  He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes.  But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.

A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”

Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes. 

"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate.  "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past.  He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far.  Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."

Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts) 

And the others:

Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter

The girls

"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis.  "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has.  The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive.  I think she will go far."

Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.

"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams.  Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth.  "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.

Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.

Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.

Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
Stephanie Edwards
Leslie Hunt
Sabrina Sloan
