Heat continue life without Wade against Cavs
Basketball Betting Lines
02/25/2007 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - What was once a can't miss game on the NBA schedule has
lost some of its luster as LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers travel to
Miami to take on the Dwyane Wade-less Miami Heat at AmericanAirlines Arena.
The Heat have won three of their last five meetings with the Cavaliers and
eight in a row at home.
Miami and Cleveland will battle for the third time this season with each team
posting a victory thus far. The Cavaliers recorded a 103-79 win on February 9
to avenge a 92-89 setback eight days earlier.
James had 29 points, seven rebounds and six assists in that win, while Wade
poured in 27 points with seven helpers in defeat.
But now Wade is sidelined indefinitely after dislocating his left shoulder in
Wednesday's loss to Houston after getting tangled with Shane Battier of the
Rockets early in the fourth quarter.
A course of action has not been determined as Wade is weighing his options,
but it's reported he could be out for the rest of the season if he has surgery
on the shoulder.
Miami is 16-24 in games played without Wade since his rookie season, including
1-6 this year.
The Heat lost their second game in a row on Thursday when the red-hot Dallas Mavericks downed shorthanded Miami, 112-100. Shaquille O'Neal and James Posey
both scored 17 points for the Heat, who lost for only the third time in 10
games. Jason Williams and Dorell Wright both scored 13 points.
Miami has won six games in a row at home and is 15-10 as the host this season.
The club is currently 5 1/2 games behind Washington for the lead in the
Southeast Division and will play in New York on Monday in the first of two
straight road games.
The Heat also hold just a slim one-game lead for the eighth and final playoff
spot in the East over New Jersey.
The Cavaliers were last in action on Thursday and were bested by the division
rival Chicago Bulls, 84-78.
James scored 29 points and pulled down seven boards for the Cavs, who had won
two in a row and five of six entering the game. Larry Hughes finished with 20
points and eight rebounds for Cleveland.
The Cavaliers also come into the game with a shrunken roster as guards Damon
Jones (strep throat) and Sasha Pavlovic (flu-like symptoms) are both
questionable for the game.
Also, center Zydrunas Ilgauskas has missed Cleveland's last four games due to
personal reasons. However, he is expected to play today.
Cleveland is 12-15 as the visitor this season and is 3 1/2 games behind
Detroit for the top spot in the Central Division.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)
Michael Bush (RB, Louisville)
Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia)
Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville)

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.
