Celtics wrap up road trip in Houston
Basketball Betting Lines
02/26/2007 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Celtics nightmarish season continues tonight, as
they visit the Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center.
Boston plays the finale of a five-game road trip and has dropped all four
contests on the swing. Derek Fisher ended with 21 points on 8-of-11 from the
field to lead the Utah Jazz to a 105-87 victory over the Celtics on Saturday
at EnergySolutions Arena.
Paul Pierce ended with 19 points on just 5-of-18 from the floor in the loss to
Utah for the Celtics, who have dropped four in a row and 22 of their last 23
games overall. Delonte West scored 16 and dished out six assists in defeat.
The Celtics are 8-21 on the road this season. They have dropped 12 in a row as
the visitor. Boston's last victory on the road was on January 5th against
Memphis.
Boston returns home to host the New York Knicks on Wednesday at TD Banknorth
Garden.
Houston plays the first of a short two-game homestand. All-Star Tracy McGrady
scored 34 points as the Rockets held off the Orlando Magic, 97-93, on Sunday
at TD Waterhouse Centre.
Rafer Alston had 20 points in the win over Orlando for the Rockets, who have
beaten the Magic in eight of the last nine meetings in the series. Luther Head
scored 15 and Shane Battier tallied 14 points for Houston, which has won six
of its last nine games overall.
The Rockets continue to play without All-Star center Yao Ming, who leads the
Rockets in scoring (25.9 ppg) and rebounding (9.4 rpg). He suffered a non
displaced fracture in a bone under his right knee during a 98-93 loss on
December 23rd to the Los Angeles Clippers. Houston is 19-9 without Yao, who is
expected to return in mid-to-late March.
Houston is an impressive 20-7 at home this season. The Rockets are scheduled
to host the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday.
This is the first of two meetings between the clubs this season. The Celtics
are scheduled to host the Rockets on March 7th at TD Banknorth Garden.
Boston has lost nine of its last 14 at Houston. The teams have split the last
six contests in the series.

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.
Bet on NFL Football
Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.
Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.
Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.
All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.
A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
