Wizards close out trip in Jersey

Basketball Betting Lines

02/27/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Southeast Division-leading Washington Wizards wrap up a three-game road trip when they visit the New Jersey Nets tonight at Continental Airlines Arena.

Washington is 0-2 on the swing. On Sunday, Kevin Garnett scored 26 points and grabbed 17 rebounds as the Minnesota Timberwolves downed the Wizards, 98-94, at the Target Center.

DeShawn Stevenson registered 21 points in the loss for the Wizards, who have lost two straight and four of their last seven games overall. All-Star Gilbert Arenas ended with 20 points for Washington, which shot 7-of-29 from beyond the arc.

On the injury front for Washington, All-Star forward Caron Butler (lower back spasms) is questionable for tonight's contest. Butler did not play against Minnesota and is averaging 20.3 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 53 games this season.

The Wizards are 10-16 on the road this season. After tonight's game, they will return home for a four-game homestand versus Miami, Atlanta, Golden State and Toronto.

New Jersey, which plays the fourth of a five-game homestand, enters tonight's contest on a two-game winning streak. Vince Carter poured in 40 points, pulled down nine rebounds and dished out eight assists as the Nets defeated the New York Knicks, 101-92, on Sunday at Continental Airlines Arena.

Mikki Moore added 19 points in the win for the Nets, who have won five of their last eight games overall. Bostjan Nachbar finished with 15 points and 10 boards, while Jason Kidd contributed 11 points and 14 assists in the victory.

The Nets are 16-14 at home this season. They will host the Boston Celtics on Saturday in the finale of the current homestand.

This is the second meeting of the campaign between the clubs. On November 12th, Carter hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer to send the game into overtime and scored six points in the extra session as the Nets pulled out a 105-93 win over Washington at the Verizon Center.

Washington has lost two straight and 10 of its last 11 at New Jersey. The Nets have won two in a row in the series.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
