Cavs set to debut Jamison, hope to start new win streak vs. BobcatsBasketball Betting Lines02/19/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Cavaliers are set to unveil what the team hopes will be the final piece towards a championship in tonight's clash with the Charlotte Bobcats from Time Warner Cable Arena. Cleveland made one of the biggest moves prior to Thursday's trade deadline, acquiring two-time All-Star Antawn Jamison from the Washington Wizards in a three-team, six-player trade on Wednesday. The standout forward, who's averaging 20.5 points and 8.8 rebounds on the season, is expected to provide a second strong scoring option alongside LeBron James and further bolster a Cavaliers squad that currently owns the NBA's best record at 43-12. Neither Jamison nor guard Sebastian Telfair, shipped from the Los Angeles Clippers to Cleveland as part of the deal, were available for last night's game against Denver. The Cavs could have used both after having its franchise- record 13-game win streak halted with a 118-116 overtime loss to the Nuggets, in which Carmelo Anthony hit the deciding shot with just 1.9 seconds left in the extra period. James did his part to try to keep Cleveland's run intact, pouring in 43 points and dishing out 15 assists in addition to grabbing 13 rebounds in a superlative individual performance. The reigning league MVP had tied the contest at 116-116 by converting a three-point play with 23.1 seconds remaining in overtime, but Anthony responded by knocking down a jumper over the arm of the outstretched James on the ensuing possession. "We both did what we had to do to put our teams in position to win; [Anthony] just made one more play," said James. "It was a great shot. If I got any closer, I was going to foul him." Shaquille O'Neal added 18 points for Cleveland, which also had a stretch of 11 straight victories at home come to an end. The Cavaliers have prevailed in their last three road tilts as well and have amassed a league-best 19-8 mark as the visitor this season. The club will play four of its next five games away from home, including a key matchup at Southeast Division leader Orlando on Sunday. Charlotte will be out to bounce back from a shocking home defeat to cellar- dwelling New Jersey in its first outing after the All-Star break. The lowly Nets shot nearly 52 percent from the field and picked up just their fifth win of the season with Tuesday's 103-94 triumph. "It was pretty bad," said Bobcats head coach Larry Brown of his team's showing. "Transition defense was bad, halfcourt defense was bad, we didn't get any loose balls. It looked like we were the team that's been struggling and they looked liked the team that's trying to make the playoffs." Gerald Wallace and Boris Diaw each posted double-doubles in a losing cause, with the former compiling 21 points and 10 rebounds and the latter finishing with 19 points and 11 boards. The setback was only the third in Charlotte's last 13 tilts at Time Warner Arena, where the team has produced an excellent 19-7 record thus far in 2009-10. One of those wins came at the expense of the Cavaliers, a 94-87 decision back on November 27. The Bobcats also dealt Cleveland one of its four losses on its home court this season in the most recent meeting between these foes. That occurred on January 3, when Stephen Jackson scored 22 points and Wallace had 19 points and 12 rebounds to lead Charlotte to a 91-88 victory. Charlotte, seeking to make the postseason for the first time in its six-year existence, currently occupies the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with a 26-26 record. The Bobcats made a move towards enhancing their chances on Thursday, obtaining forward Tyrus Thomas and center Theo Ratliff in separate deadline deals. Charlotte sent guards Ronald Murray and Acie Law and a future first-round draft choice to Chicago for Thomas, a former lottery pick of the Bulls who's averaging 8.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, while the 15-year veteran Ratliff was acquired from San Antonio for a second-round selection in 2016. Charlotte may need both frontcourt players to make an impact tonight, considering centers Tyson Chandler (ankle) and DeSagana Diop (knee) are unlikely to play this evening. Starting center Nazr Mohammed is considered questionable as well due to a sore back that limited him to 11 minutes in Tuesday's loss.

Online Sportsbook Football BettingLaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season. There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
