Winless Wizards welcome Knicks to Verizon Center

Basketball Betting Lines

11/07/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Washington Wizards are still in search of their first win of the 2008-09 season and will take on the New York Knicks tonight at the Verizon Center.

Washington fell to 0-3 after Wednesday's 112-104 overtime loss to the Milwaukee Bucks at the Bradley Center, as Caron Butler scored a team-high 27 points on 9-of-15 shooting and Antawn Jamison added 19 points and 10 rebounds.

Nick Young contributed 14 points for the Wizards, who shot 43.6 percent from the floor and went 0-2 on a brief two-game road trip. In injury news for the Wizards, center Etan Thomas is questionable for Friday's game against New York because of a sprained left ankle.

The Knicks are 2-2 so far in the Mark D'Antoni era and posted a 101-98 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden. Zach Randolph had a game-high 25 points and added 13 rebounds to spoil Charlotte coach Larry Brown's first game in New York since leaving the team following the 2005-06 season.

Brown left the team amid controversy surrounding disgruntled guard Stephon Marbury and Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan. Brown was hired by the Knicks after helping Detroit to back-to-back NBA Finals appearances and one championship. New York went 23-59 in Brown's only season.

Nate Robinson chipped in 24 points for the Knicks, who snapped a two-game skid. Wilson Chandler netted 18 points and Jamal Crawford had 16 in the win.

New York went 2-1 against Washington last season and has won three of the last four meetings.

The Knicks have dropped five of their last seven trips to D.C.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
